continuous authentication

Continuous authentication is a security approach that verifies user identity throughout a session rather than only at login. In the context of Microsoft 365 and cloud security, it helps protect against unauthorized access by constantly validating user behavior and device posture. This tag covers discussions on implementing continuous authentication as part of a broader zero-trust strategy, often alongside multi-factor authentication and conditional access policies. Topics include best practices for securing cloud environments, reducing reliance on static passwords, and improving threat detection for enterprise IT administrators and security professionals.
