We’ve covered what Authentication Contexts are, why they matter, and how they help us strengthen access and data security in Microsoft 365. Now it’s time to answer the next question - how do we monitor and report on their usage? Unfortunately, there’s no built-in way to gain that visibility today. Neither Entra ID nor Microsoft 365 provides a simple method to inventory or audit Authentication Contexts across our estate including Conditional Access, PIM and Sensitivity labels

In Part 1 of this mini-series, we explored the what, why, and how of Microsoft Entra Authentication Contexts, laying the foundation for what they are and how they work. In this second part, we’ll build on that foundation with real-world examples of how Authentication Contexts can secure user access and critical actions. Along the way, we’ll walk through configurations, share recommendations, and look at the Conditional Access policies that tie it all together. So, let’s dive

In the first part of this series , we laid the foundation for securing Microsoft Business Premium environments, covering the core security principles and configurations. Now, we shift our focus to authentication—the frontline of identity protection. Authentication is at the heart of securing any environment, and with evolving threats like phishing, credential stuffing, and AiTM attacks, ensuring robust authentication is non-negotiable. A compromised identity can grant an atta
