Overview of this book

From designing solutions on Azure to configuring and managing virtual networks, AZ-300 certification can help you achieve all this and more. Whether you want to get certified or gain hands-on experience in administering, developing, and architecting Azure solutions, this study guide will help you get started. The book features not only the different exam objectives, but also guides you through configuring, managing, securing, and architecting Azure resources. Divided into five modules, this book will systematically take you through the different concepts and features as you advance through the sections. The first module demonstrates how to deploy and configure infrastructure. You will cover techniques related to implementing workloads and security, before learning how to create and deploy apps in the next module. To build on your knowledge, the final two modules will get you up to speed with implementing authentication, data security, and application and platform monitoring, along with covering Azure storage, alerting, and automation strategies. Finally, you’ll work through exam-based mock tests with answers to boost your confidence in passing the exam. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned the concepts and techniques you need to know in order to prepare for the AZ-300 exam, along with the skills to design effective solutions on Microsoft Azure.

Implementing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

In the previous chapter, we covered the fifth part of the Implementing Workloads and Security objective. We've covered how to manage role-based access control (RBAC), how to configure access to Azure resources by assigning RBAC roles from the Azure portal, and more.

This chapter covers the last part of this objective, by covering how to configure user accounts for multi-factor authentication (MFA), how to configure fraud alerts, how to configure bypass options, how to configure trusted IPs, and how to configure verification methods.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Understanding Azure MFA
  • Configuring user accounts for MFA
  • Configuring verification methods
  • Configuring fraud alerts
  • Configuring bypass options
  • Configuring trusted IPs
