Microsoft Risky Business or Community?

• When it comes to Identity, the foundational pillars pertaining to an identity when you think of Zero Trust include “Verify the identity with strong authentication, Ensure access is compliant and typical for that identity and Follow least privilege access principles”. Entra ID can help achieve Identity Protection through several means. Examples include:
  Conditional Access: Policies that enforce access controls based on user, location, device, and risk signals.
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Requires multiple forms of verification to prove identity.
• Identity Protection: Uses machine learning detect and respond to identity-based risks in real-time.
• Privileged Identity Management (PIM): Provides Just-In-Time privileged access and oversight of privileged roles.
• Access Reviews: Regularly review and certify access to ensure compliance and reduce risk.
• Identity Governance: Ensures the right people have the right access to the right resources.

  When it comes to Threat Protection, there are several options as well.
  Microsoft Defender provides comprehensive threat protection across endpoints, identities, emails, and applications. Zero Trust principles enhance this by:
• Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): Continuously monitors and responds to threats on endpoints.
• Threat and Vulnerability Management: Identifies and remediates vulnerabilities in real-time.
  Automated Investigation and Remediation: Uses AI to investigate alerts and take action automatically.
• Threat Intelligence: Leverages global threat intelligence to detect and respond to threats.
