Conditional Access
Microsoft Entra Conditional Access is a powerful policy engine that plays a crucial role in enforcing security policies within organizations. Let’s break it down.
What is it?
- Conditional Access is Microsoft’s Zero Trust policy engine.
- It takes signals from various sources into account when making access decisions.
- Essentially, it’s like a set of if-then statements:
- If a user wants to access a resource (like Microsoft 365), then they must complete a specific action.
- For example, if a user wants to access an application, they might need to perform multifactor authentication to gain access.
