Policy: AWS > CIS v1.4 > 1 - Identity and Access Management > 1.06 - Ensure hardware MFA is enabled for the 'root' user account (Automated)

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 2 (Scored)

The 'root' user account is the most privileged user in an AWS account. MFA adds an extra layer of protection on top of a user name and password. With MFA enabled, when a user signs in to an AWS website, they will be prompted for their user name and password as well as for an authentication code from their AWS MFA device. For Level 2, it is recommended that the 'root' user account be protected with a hardware MFA.
