Scenarios

Verifying that MFA is enabled for logons by RAM users is an essential part of enterprise security. This practice reduces security risks by ensuring that only users who pass strict identity verification can perform critical operations and access sensitive data.

Risk level

Default risk level: High.

You can change the risk level as needed.
