🎓 *What You'll Learn in This Video*

🌩️ *AWS MFA Setup*
Enable MFA for AWS IAM Users
Use Google Authenticator for verification
Enforce password policies and MFA for all users

☁️ *Azure Conditional Access*
Create Conditional Access policy in Azure Entra ID
Apply “Require MFA for all users” rule
Understand Conditional logic: device, location, risk, and app-based access

---

🧠 *Theory Simplified*
MFA adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a second factor (like your phone) in addition to a password.
Azure Conditional Access takes it further — it’s **MFA + intelligence**, applying conditions based on location, risk, and device compliance.

*AWS = Strong MFA*
*Azure = Smart MFA + Conditional Access*

---

🛠️ *Hands-On Demo Covered*
1️⃣ Setup MFA for AWS IAM User
2️⃣ Enforce MFA in AWS account password policy
3️⃣ Create Conditional Access policy in Azure
4️⃣ Test login from multiple devices

---

🌍 *Real-World Use Cases*
✔ Login from a new country → Require MFA
✔ Login without MFA → Block access
✔ Non-compliant device → Deny access
✔ Guest user → Restrict to specific apps

---

🧩 *Quiz Time*
1️⃣ What is MFA?
2️⃣ What makes Conditional Access smarter than basic MFA?
3️⃣ Should the root user have MFA enabled?
4️⃣ Why is SMS MFA less secure?

---

💡 *Homework*
Enable MFA for all AWS IAM users
Create a Conditional Access Policy in Azure Entra ID
Test from a new device or location
