A company runs VM-Series firewalls in a private cloud and wants to implement MFA for all administrative access. They also want to ensure that if the MFA server is unavailable, administrators can still access the firewalls in an emergency. What should they do?

Use local accounts with strong passwords and enable MFA only for remote access.

Require MFA for all access and do not provide a fallback, to ensure security is never compromised.
