Enforced Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) for Organizations
We're excited to introduce our latest security feature in Umbraco Cloud - organization-enforced multi-factor authentication.
With this new feature, you can enforce MFA for all members in your organization, ensuring that everyone follows the same security protocols. You can customize the authentication method required for each member, depending on your organization's security policies and preferences.
The organization-enforced method will override any MFA setting that the member has registred. And ensure that the user will have to use the specified MFA method when during his login session involving UmbracoID.
This organization-enforced MFA feature is easy to set up and manage and can help you protect your organization's data and resources in Umbraco Cloud. Enforcing MFA on all the members of your organization is a vital step in assuring your cloud projects and backoffices are secured from unauthorized access.

Our updated deployment process facilitates that your website is deployed quickly and accurately every time you make changes to your project. We have also improved our error handling system to provide you with clear and concise guidance when unexpected errors occur during deployment.
Some of the deployment issues reported by users are related to the configuration of the Umbraco Cloud project or schema mismatches between environments. In these scenarios, we strive to provide a helpful text that will guide you in the right direction to solve the issue at hand.

Our vision is to make the deployment process in Umbraco Cloud as perfect as it can be.
Restore Content Optimization
The latest patch releases for Umbraco Deploy have introduced some important improvements to deploy restore and transfer operations. The update contains significant performance improvements. It should ensure, restoring and transferring content in a setup with a four-digit number of content nodes are not in danger of timing out.
The new configuration settings and options will work instantly on the cloud projects that previously have experienced long process times during restore and transfer operations. However, you might find more insight on the pages for troubleshooting and configuration for the deployment and restoring feature of Umbraco Cloud.
