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 is a must have for security engineers, and software appsec and devops alike. I was delighted to see how in depth the author went into many different methods of implementation without making it overly dense and difficult to understand. Nice work!

When I received a copy of Packt's Implementing Multifactor Authentication from Marco Fanti, I was very interested in what the content of this book would be. Marco does not disappoint. This is an amazing book that provides insight to why MFA is important and gives guidance for implementing various types of MFA. The chapters are filled with step-by-step guides for hyperscaler native MFA and third-party MFA solutions. He includes not just the how, but the why for using these different solutions and when they are the best choice. I highly recommend this book for cloud solutions and cybersecurity architects, and IAM administrators.

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.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
