🔥Automated rollout of Entra Conditional Access policies🔥

Microsoft reaffirms its commitment to security, introducing:

❗Automated rollout of Entra Conditional Access policies - a transformative step in identity protection that effortlessly scales with your organisation's needs.

A decade ago, Microsoft set a precedent with a visionary security protocol - mandatory multifactor authentication (MFA) for consumer accounts, a bold move that reduced account hacks by a staggering 80%. This wasn't just a policy; it was a cultural shift towards prioritising user safety over convenience.

Fast forward to today, and that same spirit of innovation infuses Microsoft Entra. Combining lessons from the past with state-of-the-art technology, these new policies are not static lines of code but dynamic, intelligent defences that evolve with the threat landscape. This isn't just about staying one step ahead; it's about redefining what it means to be secure by default.

⚠️What actions do you need to take?

🔹Gradual rollout to start next week for all eligible tenants.

🔹Tenants to be notified in advance.

🔹90-day review period to adjust or disable policies after they appear.

🔹Policies will be in report-only mode for those 90 days, recording outcomes but not enforcing them.

🔐The deployment of automatic Conditional Access policies by Microsoft Entra isn't just another security update - it's a statement. Multifactor authentication reduces the risk of account takeover by over 99 percent.
