Practitioner Notes

This enhancement was incorporated into IA-2(6). It previously addressed MFA via separate device specifically for remote access scenarios.

Example 1: Require all VPN users to authenticate with a hardware token or phone-based authenticator in addition to their password before establishing remote connections.

Example 2: Configure Conditional Access policies to always require MFA for any sign-in from outside your trusted network locations, regardless of the device used.
