Yes, it is required regardless of physical/network location. 2. Yes, for a longer period than I would like, but it has dramatically reduced complaints during the enrollment/familiarization process… J 3. N/A – we do not currently require students to use MFA (we do however require student employees to use MFA). 4. N/A And to Harvard’s original question, we require use of MFA by faculty (including adjuncts) for all of our major systems (ERP, LMS, Email, etc.) Good luck with your implementations! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sean Hagan Chief Information Security Officer Yavapai College (928) 717-7651 – direct https://www.yc.edu From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv <SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU> On Behalf Of McClenon, Brady Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2018 10:37 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: Re: [SECURITY] MFA requirement for faculty For those that rolled out MFA: • Did you require it everywhere, or have exempt locations? Like on your campus network, perhaps. • Did you allow devices to be “remembered?” • Was there any blowback from “helicopter parents” that were used to accessing their “child’s” account? • If yes to #3, how did you deal with it?

Out of nearly 16k student enrollments, we had less than a dozen who requested exemption based on not have a device to receive the second factor. We limited our rollout to students only. Anyone whose account was compromised as a result of social engineering, regardless of their affiliation, is enrolled. FAC/STAFF can request enrollment, but we haven’t mandated it yet. BTW, here’s an article on 2-Step Login (our branding of MFA) that appeared in the last issue of our student press.

Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2018 10:47 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: Re: [SECURITY] MFA requirement for faculty We require MFA for all users (faculty, staff, and students) for Office365, Banner and a couple of other applications. Adding MFA to other higher risk systems is in the works for this year. We had executive support to include all users, and the rollout went smoother than I anticipated. We’re using Microsoft Azure AD MFA which doesn’t support hardware tokens (yet) so we did need to exempt a small population of about 40 users who didn’t have a cell phone, and couldn’t use a desk phone as their 2nd factor. I expected we might get a run on people saying they didn’t have a cell phone if they thought it would get them out of MFA, but that didn’t really happen. Most of those 40 people were faculty though so you may want to factor that in to your planning.

Harvard, you may want to consider joining this constituent group list. In the meantime, I ask that we copy Harvard on responses. As a quick response to Harvard, the University of Delaware requires MFA for all users (including faculty) on multiple tools, to include anything associated with our ERP and email. Thanks all!
