Essential 8 (Maturity 1) - MFA "remember device" for customers + daily vuln scanning for hosted website (seeking audit experiences)

Hi all - we're a small NGO (~25 staff) working through Essential 8 Maturity Level 1 . Most controls are in good shape, but we're hitting confusion in two areas and would love real-world audit experiences and how you tackled them. 1) MFA for customers on our online services (e.g., discussion forum) We enforce MFA everywhere for admins and VPN/remote access (every login, no bypass).

Is MFA alone sufficient for securing access to SaaS on personal mobile devices without MDM?

Hi everyone. I'd like to get some insights on best practices for security. Here's the situation: Our staff accesses SaaS using personal mobile devices. We currently do not have Mobile Device Management implemented. Due to the nature of personal devices, enforcing IP whitelisting is not feasible as users connect from various networks. We have only enabled Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) as a security measure. Given these factors, do you think MFA alone provides sufficient protection against...

All users sign into Microsoft Entra ID - joined laptops with Windows Hello for Business (WHfB) (PIN, fingerprint, or facial recognition). Since WHfB uses a TPM-bound key on the device (something you have) plus PIN/biometric (something you know/are), Microsoft recognizes it as MFA. When the VPN connection is made via SAML SSO, Entra ID passes the MFA claim into the VPN session....

Keeping an Eye on MFA-Bombing Attacks, (Mon, Aug 18th)

I recently woke up (as one does each day, hopefully) and saw a few Microsoft MFA prompts had pinged me overnight. Since I had just awakened, I just deleted them, then two minutes later clued in - this means that one of my passwords was compromised, and I had no idea which site the compromised creds were for.
