CIS Controls v8.1 6.3: Require MFA for Externally-Exposed Applications

Require multi-factor authentication, where the application supports it, on every internet-facing application, whether the enterprise's own or a third party's; switching it on centrally in the directory or single sign-on service counts as compliance. Implementation Groups: IG1, IG2 and IG3 (part of the IG1 essential cyber hygiene baseline, so every enterprise applies it). Asset type: Users. Security function: Protect.
