## Goal{% #goal %}

Detect when a JumpCloud administrator authenticates without multi-factor authentication (MFA) enabled. This is not indicative of malicious activity, however as a best practice, administrator accounts should have MFA enabled.

## Strategy{% #strategy %}

This rule monitors JumpCloud audit logs to detect when an admin user successfully authenticates to JumpCloud and the log indicates that `@mfa` is `false`.

## Triage and response{% #triage-and-response %}

1. If the login was legitimate, request that the user enables MFA.
1. If the login wasn't legitimate, rotate the credentials, enable MFA and triage an actions uncovered from step 1.
