Microsoft Entra ID: Admin Consent Workflow for Secure Application Permissions
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.
Securing Microsoft 365 Apps with Microsoft Entra Global Secure Access
Strengthening secure access to Microsoft 365: Microsoft Entra Global Secure Access provides encrypted access to Microsoft 365 services such as Exchange Online and SharePoint Online through the Microsoft traffic profile. All data traffic is routed through protected network paths, ensuring reliable protection against unauthorized access.
Enhancing Security with Microsoft Entra Protected Actions and Conditional Access
Microsoft Entra Protected Actions safeguard highly sensitive administrative operations in Microsoft Entra by requiring an additional layer of authentication. When a user attempts to perform such an action, they must first meet the defined policies. For example, specific actions can be restricted to devices that are either Microsoft Entra Joined or Microsoft Entra Hybrid Joined, or may require phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication prior to execution.
Microsoft Entra ID: QR Code Sign-In
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.
Microsoft Defender for Identity: Getting Started
Microsoft Defender for Identity (MDI) secures the on-premises Active Directory (AD) against identity threats as a cloud-based security solution. By thoroughly analyzing user activities and detecting complex attack vectors, Microsoft Defender for Identity (MDI) ensures comprehensive protection against identity compromises.
Enhance Token Security with Microsoft Entra and Microsoft Intune
When an attacker steals a user’s token after a successful login, they gain the ability to impersonate the user and access protected resources without requiring a re-login. This method is becoming more commonly used to bypass security measures like Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
