Assess, migrate and protect your identities before SMS MFA retires in Microsoft Entra
Microsoft Entra ID is moving organizations toward more secure, modern and phishing-resistant sign-in methods. With the retirement of SMS and voice authentication, enabling a new multifactor authentication (MFA) method is no longer enough: organizations need to understand how ready they are and plan a transition that strengthens security without disrupting operations.
The real challenge is knowing the current state of your identity environment, finding the users and scenarios that need attention, detecting dependencies on SMS, voice and fallback mechanisms, and prioritizing the risks these methods carry.
In Identity Protection Accelerator, you will see how to assess the readiness of your Microsoft Entra ID environment, gain visibility into the authentication methods in use today and build a strategy to move to phishing-resistant authentication.
Learn how to define a transition roadmap, prioritize actions and strengthen the protection of identities and access, while progressively reducing your dependence on legacy authentication methods.
