Always-on GDAP roles hand an attacker every customer tenant your techs can reach. PIM for Groups turns that into just-in-time access with MFA, approvals, and an audit trail.

Strong user MFA means nothing if Global Admins carry the exceptions. This 8-level playbook takes tenant admin security from inventory to PIM, alerts, and quarterly access reviews.

Microsoft's Global Secure Access puts Entra ID in front of internet traffic, on-prem apps, and file shares. Here is what it stops in practice and what it costs.

Five Entra ID settings included in Business Premium close off reconnaissance, password spray, rogue app consent, and token theft. Here is where each one lives and how to enable it.

Token theft via AiTM phishing hit 51% of webinar respondents in the past year. Five layered controls, from Defender tuning to attack disruption, break the kill chain at each stage.

Six Conditional Access policies can stop token theft before it starts. Each blocks a different part of the attack, and each has a gap. Here is the full comparison with exact settings.

Entra's token protection session control sounds like the end of token replay. In testing, stolen tokens still replay in the browser. Here is exactly what the preview covers, as of May 2025.

Shadow SaaS thrives where no approved software list exists. Build a vendor management policy, an inventory template, and use the three app inventories M365 already keeps.

Microsoft 365 lets users sign in from any device in the world by default. Here are the two Conditional Access policies, exact settings included, that restrict access to devices you manage.

When customers demand BYOD access to Microsoft 365, contain it: web-only access, download blocks, session limits, TAP-gated enrollment, and MAM, with a dynamic group to segment personal devices.

Token replay attacks grew over 111% year over year and walk straight past MFA. Device compliance, strict location enforcement, token binding, and risk-based blocking form the foundation.

Rotation, JIT elevation, audit logging, and a plan for the two moments admin rights actually get used. The full governance picture for local admin accounts, first party and third party.
