💼 1.5 Ensure MFA is enabled for the 'root' user account (Automated)

• ID: /frameworks/cis-aws-v4.0.0/01/05

Description

The 'root' user account is the most privileged user in an AWS account. Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of protection on top of a username and password. With MFA enabled, when a user signs in to an AWS website, they will be prompted for their username and password as well as for an authentication code from their AWS MFA device.
