Why MFA Alone Isn’t Enough for Your Business Security

Imagine this: An administrator steps away for a quick coffee break, leaving their laptop unlocked. Their child, curious and playful, clicks into the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. One wrong click could disable security policies or delete critical data.
This isn’t about hackers—it’s about everyday human behavior. People take shortcuts. IT teams avoid extra work. Mistakes happen. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) helps, but it’s only the first layer. If someone’s already in the system—on an unlocked laptop—MFA won’t stop them from making high-risk changes.
The Real Risk without MFA
Unlocked devices: Anyone can use an open session to change settings or delete data.
Insider mistakes: A well-meaning employee can click the wrong thing.
Convenience over security: People skip steps if they feel “in the way.”
That’s why you need extra checks for sensitive actions—not just for sign-ins.
