Mar 22, 2024Dear Partners,
Thank you for your partnership in implementing this change and providing feedback. We wanted to provide further information about the reasons for the implementation of the Multi-factor authentication requirement.
Microsoft’s security and threat assessment team detected a nation-state attack on our systems. As a response to that developing situation, we have initiated multiple efforts to investigate, disrupt malicious activity, and deny threat actors any further access to our systems. As part of a significant cross company effort, we are also enhancing the security of our learning experiences and infrastructure by introducing multi-factor authentication (MFA) to Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365 tenants that we use in some of our instructor-led training (ILT) labs. These security steps are necessary to safeguard the Microsoft environment.
More details and answers for common questions can be found in the attached FAQ PDF. We will continue to provide updates as quickly as possible.
