You can do this by going to Azure Active Directory > Properties > “Manage Security defaults” and set the Enable security defaults toggle to Yes as is shown below. If you are an existing tenant prior to the October date and currently and currently do not utilize security policies of any kind, you will need to enable Security Defaults for now. Multi-Factor Authentication enforcement.
#Azure security defaults disable registration
Unified Multi-Factor Authentication registration.These security defaults enforce the following: In the coming phase, Microsoft will begin retroactively enabling it for existing domains who have failed to enact any security measures on their own. If your tenant was created on or after October 22, 2019, chances are that security defaults is already enabled. New tenants will automatically have security defaults enabled by default. S ecurity Defaults are available to all tenants and like Baseline Security policies, are offered at no additional cost.

As a result, Microsoft is depreciating these predefined policies on February 29, 2020, replacing them with the new “Security Defaults.” What are Azure Security Defaults?
By hardening up our own attack surfaces, we harden the world as well. The IT industry is starting to recognize that organizations not only have a responsibility to protect their own users, but share in the universal collective effort to make the world a less vulnerable place. Every computer that is compromised serves as one more potential attack vehicle that perpetrators can use for malicious deeds towards others. This not only makes them more vulnerable, but adds to the collective threat environment for everyone else as well. Unfortunately, too many organizations have not taken advantage of these policies or the rich set of security capabilities such as Conditional Access.
Despite the fact that Microsoft attests that MFA will prevent 99.9 percent of account compromises, only around 8 percent of administrative accounts in Azure AD use it. A case in point is the enforcement of multifactor authentication (MFA) for Azure. You can provide users and organizations with all types of cybersecurity tools and policies, but as long as they are optional, you cannot make them utilize them. The old adage, “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink,” certainly applies to cybersecurity today.
