Hello everyone,

 

What are the good recommendations for Unsecure Account in Azure- Active directory.

 

Is there a script to identify unsecure account ??

 

Thanks

    here is a list of security features that you can implement to sure your identities. 

     

    1)Define at least two emergency access accounts
    2)Require multifactor authentication for administrative roles
    3)Ensure all Users can complete multifactor authentication
    4)Do not allow Users to grant consent to unreliable applications
    5)Enable Self-Service Password Reset
    6)Ensure that password protection is Enabled for Active Directory
    7)Enable Conditional Access policies to block legacy authentication
    8)Ensure that password hash sync is Enabled for hybrid deployments
    9)Enable Azure AD Identity Protection sign-in risk policies
    10)Enable Azure AD Identity Protection User risk policies
    11)Use Just in Time privileged access to Office 365 roles
    12)Ensure Security Defaults are disabled on Azure AD
    13)Ensure that LinkedIn contact synchronization is disabled
    14)Ensure Sign-in frequency is Enabled, and browser sessions are not persistent for Administrative Users.
    15)Ensure the option to remain signed in is hidden
    16)Do not expire passwords
    17)Ensure Administrative accounts are separate and cloud-only
    18)Passwordless sign-in with the Microsoft Authenticator app
