Migrate Legacy MFA and SSPR Policies to Authentication Methods in Microsoft Entra ID
Microsoft announced that the legacy policies for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) will no longer be supported after September 30, 2025. We need to migrate the legacy MFA and SSPR policies to the authentication methods in Microsoft Entra ID.
Hardening your Identities: Microsoft Authenticator device-bound passkey
A device-bound passkey is an advanced security feature implemented in Microsoft Authenticator. It is a unique security key that is tied to a specific device. When a user logs in to their account, they use this key to verify their identity. Since the key is bound to the device, no one else can access the user’s account, even if they know the password, unless they also have access to the device.
Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) and FIDO2: Increasing the security of privileged roles
Privileged roles and permissions in Microsoft Entra ID allow you to manage all aspects of Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365. To make phishing and other attacks more difficult, a secure password for privileged Microsoft Entra roles is no longer enough. Phishing-resistant multi-factor-authentication, such as FIDO2 protocol on a security key in combination with Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM), significantly increases security for the Microsoft Tenant and convenience for the user.
Microsoft Entra Internet Access: Protect users with powerful web content filtering
Microsoft Entra Internet Access is a cloud-delivered solution that secures access to web content. It protects users, devices, and data from internet threats. This solution is part of Microsoft’s Security Service Edge (SSE), which also includes Microsoft Entra Private Access. This solution is based on the core principles of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), which aims to apply the principle of minimal rights, explicit verification and assumption of an attack. Microsoft Entra Internet Access implements adaptive access controls, simplifies network security, and enables a consistent user experience, regardless of location. Microsoft delivers the solution over the Microsoft Wide Area Network, which covers more than 140 countries and 190 network edge…
Secure Emergency Access: Create and Manage Microsoft Entra Emergency Accounts with YubiKey (FIDO2)
A Microsoft Entra emergency access account, also known as a “Break Glass Account”, is a special account set up for accessing Azure resources in emergency situations. This account typically has higher permissions and is only used when conventional access routes are not available. This could be, for example, a service outage, so that no multi-factor authentication can be performed via a mobile phone. The use of emergency accounts is strictly controlled, monitored, and restricted.
