MFA Active Directory\u200c can help\u200d verify \u2064users and prevent unauthorized \u2062access \u2063to your network. <\/p>\n<p>MFA Active Directory works by sending\u2063 a one-time authentication code to\u2064 users and verifying the \u200didentity. This code is usually sent to\u2063 the user&#8217;s phone or email, and they must\u200b enter\u200b it \u2062upon logging in. This \u200bhelps to ensure that the user is who they claim to be,\u200c providing an added\u200b layer of protection. <\/p>\n<p>MFA Active Directory offers several benefits: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Strengthen security: It helps\u200d protect against hackers and other unauthorized access to your network.<\/li>\n<li>Simplify\u200d user\u200d access: It helps \u200bstreamline user authentication and\u2062 improves user experience.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage best practices: It helps observe\u2062 and enforce best practices for user authentication.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"2-how-can-mfa-active-directory-secure-your-network\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_How_Can_MFA_Active_Directory_Secure_Your_Network\"><\/span>2.
