Azure AD Security

Protecting Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), the cloud identity service that authenticates users to Microsoft 365 and many other apps. Because it is the front door to cloud resources, securing its authentication, conditional access, and privileged roles is essential.

Entra ID handles authentication, single sign-on, and conditional access for cloud and hybrid environments. Securing it spans enforcing MFA and conditional access, hardening privileged roles, managing app registrations, and monitoring sign-ins, often alongside on-premises Active Directory in a hybrid identity setup.

Introduced in: IAM Engineer Fundamentals

Examples

  • Requiring MFA through conditional access for risky sign-ins.
  • Monitoring sign-in logs for impossible-travel and risky authentications.
  • Hardening privileged roles with Privileged Identity Management.
