Azure AD P2
What is Azure Identity Protection?
Azure Identity Protection is a cloud-based service that helps organizations detect and respond to identity-based risks and threats in real-time.
What types of risk does Azure Identity Protection detect?
Anonymous IP address use
Atypical travel
Malware linked IP address
Unfamiliar sign-in properties
Leaked credentials
Password spray
What is Azure AD Conditional Access
Azure AD Conditional Access is a feature that allows you to enforce specific access controls and policies for users accessing your organization’s resources based on certain conditions.
How does Azure AD Conditional Access work
Azure AD Conditional Access evaluates conditions such as user sign-in risk, device compliance, location, and application sensitivity to determine whether to allow or block access to resources.
What are the benefits of using Azure AD Conditional Access?
Enhanced security: It provides an additional layer of protection by allowing you to control access to resources based on various factors.
Adaptive access controls: You can create policies that dynamically adjust access requirements based on real-time risk assessments.
User-friendly experience: Users can access resources from anywhere, on any device, while still adhering to your organization’s security policies.
What are some examples of scenarios where Azure AD Conditional Access can be used?
Requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA) for high-risk sign-in attempts.
Blocking access from unmanaged devices.
Allowing access only from specific IP ranges or locations.
What are the key features of Azure Identity Protection?
Risk detection: It continuously analyzes user behavior, sign-in events, and device information to identify potential risks and anomalies.
Risk-based policies: You can create policies that trigger specific actions or require additional authentication based on risk levels.
Real-time notifications: It provides alerts and notifications to security administrators for immediate action.
Investigative experience: It offers tools and reports to investigate and remediate identity-related incidents.
How does Azure Identity Protection work?
It leverages machine learning algorithms and Microsoft’s threat intelligence to detect and analyze suspicious activities and risky sign-in events.
It integrates with Azure AD Conditional Access to apply risk-based policies and enforce additional security measures.
It provides security reports and recommendations to help organizations understand and mitigate identity risks.
What are some examples of identity risks that Azure Identity Protection can detect?
Password spray attacks: Detects when an attacker tries common passwords across multiple accounts to gain unauthorized access.
Impossible travel: Identifies sign-in events from geographically distant locations within a short time frame, suggesting potential account compromise.
Atypical sign-in activity: Recognizes unusual sign-in patterns, such as sign-ins at odd hours or from unknown locations.
What are the benefits of using Azure Identity Protection?
Enhanced security: It helps protect against identity-based attacks and unauthorized access to resources.
Proactive risk management: It enables organizations to detect and respond to identity risks in real-time, reducing the impact of potential threats.
Simplified administration: It provides a centralized interface to monitor and manage identity risks across the organization.
What is Azure Privileged Identity Management (PIM)?
Azure Privileged Identity Management is a service that helps organizations manage, control, and monitor access to privileged roles and resources in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and other Azure services.
What are the key features of Azure Privileged Identity Management?
Just-in-time access: Users can be granted time-bound, on-demand access to privileged roles, reducing the risk of continuous access.
Privileged role assignments: Administrators can assign users to privileged roles and require approvals or justification for access.
Access reviews: Periodic reviews are conducted to ensure that users still require their assigned privileged roles.
Activity and audit logs: Detailed logs capture and record all privileged role assignments and activities for auditing and compliance purposes.
How does Azure Privileged Identity Management work?
Administrators define eligible roles and users who can request access to these roles.
Users can request temporary access to privileged roles through an approval workflow.
Upon approval, users are granted access for a specific time window to perform privileged tasks.
Access reviews help ensure ongoing necessity and revoke access when no longer required.
What are the benefits of using Azure Privileged Identity Management?
Minimized exposure: Privileged access is granted only when needed and for a limited time, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Accountability and auditing: Detailed logs provide visibility into privileged role assignments and activities, aiding in compliance and forensic investigations.
Streamlined access management: Administrators can centrally manage and control privileged access across Azure services.
Segregation of duties: By separating privileged roles from day-to-day roles, organizations can enforce security and reduce the risk of misuse.
