Entra.News #37: This week in Microsoft Entra
Highlights for the week include Nitika’s ⏰ reminder to either turn on or customize Microsoft managed Conditional Access policies 🚦, lots of new guidance on external users 🏙️ and more!
👋 Hi, Merill here with this week’s round up of the latest news on Microsoft Entra from around the globe 🌍.
The highlights for the week include Nitika’s ⏰ reminder to either turn on or customize Microsoft managed Conditional Access policies 🚦, lots of new guidance on external users 🏙️ including upgrading to tenant restrictions v2 🫷by Jeff, cross tenant access settings from Heiko, converting external users to internal users by Tony and others.
There’s heaps of interesting news on the security front including a phishing technique that can change the default WHfB 🔑 sign to a weaker prompt. This is a good reminder to start enforcing phishing resistant authentication with Conditional Access as you roll out WHfB.
Finally there’s a new Microsoft MacAdmins 💻 group on LinkedIn.
All that and more 👇.
Enjoy!
⚡️ Microsoft
