Control: AWS > CIS v2.0 > 1 - Identity and Access Management > 1.05 - Ensure MFA is enabled for the 'root' user account

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1

The 'root' user account is the most privileged user in an AWS account. Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of protection on top of a username and password. With MFA enabled, when a user signs in to an AWS website, they will be prompted for their username and password as well as for an authentication code from their AWS MFA device.
