Enabling Multi-Factor-Authentication for Netskope Admins - How to set up Microsoft Authenticator

[scarlile]

Securing administrative access to the Netskope tenant is an important security control.  When Single Sign-On (SSO) is not an appropriate choice for some administrators, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) should be used.

Docs.netskope.com describes the process for enabling MFA for local Netskope admins who are not managed via SSO.  The default authenticator is Google Authenticator, but other ones can be used.
