This book does a great job describing how to properly use and deploy Multifactor Authentication (MFA). MFA is a good tool to help prevent unauthorized access to user accounts. Since cyber crime has been on the rise it has increased the need to protect users from having their credentials stolen. This has resulted in the rise in popular use of MFA. MFA helps to secure user access by forcing a second form of authentication. It could be a simple code sent to the user's phone or email. It could be a code from an app like Authenticator or Authy. This extra layer of protection helps prevent unauthorized access to an account and helps with alerting the user of a possible credential breach. overall this is a great read and a very helpful guide.

This book is great if you would like to learn "Everything MFA"! Takes you through the basics to the extensive deployment of 3rd party integration. Would highly recommend you create a sandbox tenant and follow along with the implementations steps. This book is also great if you're studying for the AZ-500.
