👨🏽‍💻 Merill’s corner

→ The Devices blade in the Microsoft Entra portal just got a HUUGE update

Check out the video for a short walkthrough.

→ Microsoft Admin Portal - Conditional Access Policy

Did you know that Microsoft Entra Conditional Access policies now supports targeting Microsoft Admin Portals in a single app control?

Start with the basics to protect these portals and tighten the controls as you progress.

🔐 Admin Portals
→ Azure portal
→ Exchange admin center
→ Microsoft 365 admin center
→ Microsoft 365 Defender portal
→ Microsoft Entra admin center
→ Microsoft Intune admin center
→ Microsoft Purview compliance portal

The two notable portals that are not currently included are
→ Microsoft Teams admin center
→ Microsoft SharePoint admin center

If you are mature enough to protect ALL of Azure (or haven't started using Azure yet) then include the Microsoft Azure Management app to this policy.
