Policy: Azure > CIS v3.0 > 02 - Identity > 02.02 - Conditional Access > 02.02.07 - Ensure Multi-factor Authentication is Required for Windows Azure Service Management API

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 2

This recommendation ensures that users accessing the Windows Azure Service Management API (i.e. Azure Powershell, Azure CLI, Azure Resource Manager API, etc.) are required to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) credentials when accessing resources through the Windows Azure Service Management API.

Administrative access to the Windows Azure Service Management API should be secured with a higher level of scrutiny to authenticating mechanisms. Enabling multi- factor authentication is recommended to reduce the potential for abuse of Administrative actions, and to prevent intruders or compromised admin credentials from changing administrative settings.
