Phishing, malware, and social engineering remain among the most common entry points for cyberattacks. While technical safeguards play a crucial role in strengthening overall security, the human factor often remains a critical vulnerability. Attack simulation training, a feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365, offers a practical way to enhance user security awareness and build a more resilient organizational security posture.
The Admin Consent Workflow in Microsoft Entra ID is a feature designed to manage user consent for enterprise application permissions. It allows administrators to review, approve, or deny permission requests before access is granted. Instead of allowing users to grant extensive permissions directly, the Admin Consent Workflow ensures that only authorized applications can access sensitive data. For instance, an application might request permission to access a user’s profile or read the contents of their mailbox. By introducing this workflow, organizations can effectively enforce the principle of least privilege and reduce the risk of unintentional data exposure.
Microsoft Entra offers an innovative solution for fast and secure access: sign-in with QR code. This method simplifies the sign-in process while ensuring a high level of security. QR code sign-ins are ideal for employees in industries such as hospitality, production, logistics or healthcare who have to sign in to different devices several times a day.
