Description:
Verifies that managed devices are required for authentication.
Why:
The security risk of an adversary authenticating to the tenant from their own device is reduced by requiring a managed device to authenticate. Managed devices are under the provisioning and control of the agency. OMB-22-09 states, "When authorizing users to access resources, agencies must consider at least one device-level signal alongside identity information about the authenticated user."
Configured: Managed devices are required for authentication.
Not Configured: Authentication can be completed without a managed device.
