Entra 🆔 News #151 → This week in Microsoft Entra
Learn about sensitivity labels for Microsoft Entra cloud security groups public preview, tenant governance and more.
👋 Hi, Merill and Joshua here with this week’s roundup of the latest news on Microsoft Entra from around the globe 🌍.
Build is just around the corner, and I’m excited to see all the new goodies that are going to drop. Microsoft and NVIDIA have also been teasing something, probably a new Arm-based PC. Will it live up to the hype? Let’s find out…
I’ve also heard that we’ll get some new Entra bits at Build 🤞. I’m looking forward to bringing it all to you in next week’s issue.
Don’t forget to listen to or watch this week’s Entra.Chat episode. This week, we looked at what it takes to roll out passkeys to millions of users in a B2C consumer scenario, and the lessons we can apply to our own workforce passkey deployments.
Enjoy!
