Control: AWS > CIS v6.0 > 2 - Identity and Access Management > 2.09 - Ensure multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled for all IAM users that have a console password

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 1

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of authentication assurance beyond traditional credentials. With MFA enabled, when a user signs in to the AWS Console, they will be prompted for their user name and password as well as for an authentication code from their physical or virtual MFA token. It is recommended that MFA be enabled for all accounts that have a console password.
