Description: MFA Delete is a security feature implemented in cloud storage services that requires multi-factor authentication (MFA) to delete objects or versioned objects. This feature was designed to provide an additional layer of protection against accidental or malicious deletion of critical data stored in the cloud. By enabling MFA Delete, users must provide not only their access credentials but also an authentication code generated by an MFA device, such as a physical token or an authentication app. This security measure is especially relevant in environments where data integrity is paramount, as it helps prevent the loss of valuable information. MFA Delete can be applied to storage containers and is an option that can be enabled or disabled based on the organization’s security needs. The implementation of this feature is part of recommended best practices for cloud data management, ensuring that only authorized users can perform critical actions that affect data availability.
