+With federation, an attacker could impersonate anyone, such as a CIO, even if they can't obtain a cloud-only role like a highly privileged administrator account.
 
 When a domain is federated in Microsoft Entra ID, a high level of trust is being placed on the Federated IdP. AD FS is one example, but the notion holds true for *any* federated IdP. Many organizations deploy a federated IdP such as AD FS exclusively to accomplish certificate based authentication. Microsoft Entra CBA completely removes the AD FS dependency in this case. With Microsoft Entra CBA, customers can move their application estate to Microsoft Entra ID to modernize their IAM infrastructure and reduce costs with increased security.

 # Features and licenses for Microsoft Entra multifactor authentication
 
-To protect user accounts in your organization, multifactor authentication should be used. This feature is especially important for accounts that have privileged access to resources. Basic multifactor authentication features are available to Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra users and Global Administrators for no extra cost. If you want to upgrade the features for your admins or extend multifactor authentication to the rest of your users with more authentication methods and greater control, you can purchase Microsoft Entra multifactor authentication in several ways.
