MFA is a multi-step login process that requires users to provide more than just a password to gain access to an account or resources. Th
Currently at SCS we use Cisco DUO for MFA. It is required to secure your Office 365 (Outlook email and MS office account) as well as your VPN connection. (The VPN connection is used by remote users to securely connect to the corporate network).
With Office 365 you are required to setup MFA on your account within 14 days of the account being created.
Before you can connect remotely with the VPN, you must also have MFA setup for that connection.
The DUO app is installed on your cell phone and provides a second method to verify your identity. With Office 365 you may be required to enter a code provided for that account in the Duo app. For the VPN connection you’ll get a prompt in the DUO app to confirm that its you trying to make the connection.
