Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM): Basic Configuration
Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) manages and monitors access to Microsoft Entra roles and Microsoft Azure roles. Access to Azure resources and Microsoft online services is on-demand and time-restricted.Users can request privileged roles online. An administrator can approve or deny the request afterwards. The role removes automatically after the specified duration expires. Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) can minimize the following risks: This guide configures Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) for Microsoft Entra roles and Microsoft Azure roles.
Microsoft Entra: How to Block Legacy Authentication Using Conditional Access
Protocols such as POP3, IMAP, SMTP, or MAPI rely on outdated authentication methods known as legacy authentication. These methods do not support modern security mechanisms such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), making them a preferred entry point for attackers.
Reviewing user registrations for multi-factor authentication
To perform a security audit, it is necessary to review the registered multi-factor authentication methods of each user in the Microsoft Tenant. This can help identify and address potential vulnerabilities before they are exploited. Additionally, this evaluation can be used to inform users of potentially more convenient MFA methods they could use instead of their current methods.
User guide: Enabling multi-factor authentication
Enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) significantly increases the security of user accounts when accessing Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 online services. The following user guide will help to set up one of the following authentication methods. Three options are available to authenticate with the second factor:
Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) provides a high level of protection for identities in the cloud. The user must identify himself with a second factor in addition to the password. Without this second factor, access to cloud apps are prevented. The feature “Azure AD Conditional Access” can be used to enforce multi-factor authentication. At least two of the following authentication methods then become mandatory:
