Entra 🆔 News #126 → This week in Microsoft Entra

Wokplace Ninjas US - Edition

👋 Hi, Merill and Joshua here with this week’s roundup of the latest news on Microsoft Entra from around the globe 🌍.

Apologies for the delay. It’s been a busy weekend preparing for some cool announcements and a very long flight from Melbourne to Dallas where I’ll be at the Workplace Ninjas US conference.

I’m super looking forward to catching up IRL with a LOT of folks from the Microsoft Entra community at the conference.

BTW Don’t forget to check out this week’s awesome podcast. Khurram shared a lot about how Microsoft assesses the risk of applications added to Microsoft’s own corporate tenant. Lot’s of really good things to learn in this one.

Enjoy!
