Entra ID

In a Zero Trust Security approach, where identity is a fundamental element, the security of authentications can be measured to some extent based on the so-called “signals.” Analyzing these signals provides a level of “risk” for a particular user when authenticating to Microsoft 365 services. Today, I’ll tell you about Mirosoft Entra Identity Protection and what the concept of “risk” means. As always, before diving headfirst into this “risky” journey (pun intended 🤣), we need to introduce another concept: you need to understand what signals are.

Fresh news in the Microsoft Entra ID realm: templates and a brand new overview are now publicly available. Let’s start with the templates. Template Conditional Access policies are a powerful tool that offers a high degree of customization and granularity. That’s why it can sometimes be less intuitive to know where to begin when it comes to implementing a particular policy for a specific situation. The availability of templates helps in this regard by providing ready-to-use tools for specific situations, making it easier to implement a conditional access criterion.
