👨🏽💻 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.
