Microsoft’s upcoming enforcement change for Conditional Access in Entra ID is a clear pivot toward consistency and defense‑in‑depth: policies that target All resources will now be evaluated even when those policies include resource exclusions, and sign‑ins that request only minimal OpenID...

Microsoft is giving administrators and end users a second chance: if the opportunity to restore a preserved Windows environment was missed during the out‑of‑box experience (OOBE), Windows Backup for Organizations can now offer a first sign‑in restore that runs when the user signs in for the...

Microsoft has quietly expanded the enterprise-focused Windows Backup for Organizations to include a first sign-in restore experience, giving IT teams a second opportunity to restore a user's Windows settings and Microsoft Store app list at the very first interactive sign-in — not only during...

Microsoft’s Entra ID sign-in stack on Windows 11 is getting a significant under‑the‑hood refresh: WebView2 — the Chromium‑based embedded web control used across modern Windows apps — can now power Entra ID sign‑ins through the Web Account Manager (WAM). This change, delivered beginning with the...

Arctera’s latest maintenance refresh, Backup Exec 25.1, arrives as a focused, practical upgrade that treats identity protection, Microsoft 365 resilience and ransomware-hardened storage as first-class concerns — not optional extras. The release tightens integration between identity and data...

Microsoft’s long‑promised move to make identity the primary gateway for remote server access has taken a concrete step forward: Entra ID authentication for RDP inside the Azure portal is now available as a public preview for Azure Bastion sessions, allowing portal‑based RDP connections to use...

In a technology landscape where migrations to cloud platforms are routine but lasting operational success is rare, the profile of Karachi‑based cloud and infrastructure specialist Kelash in a national paper captures a practical truth: moving workloads is the easy part—keeping them secure...

In Pakistan’s shifting digital landscape, the work that keeps banks, hospitals, software houses, and universities running rarely makes headlines — but it is exactly this steady, unspectacular engineering that decides whether a migration to Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, or hybrid cloud becomes...

Microsoft’s latest push to make “agentic” AI an everyday productivity layer is no longer rhetoric — it’s a coordinated product, identity and governance play that stitches Copilot into Office, Edge, and enterprise tooling while giving IT teams the controls to manage fleets of AI agents at scale...

Pavan Davuluri’s short post on X — that “Windows is evolving into an agentic OS” — landed as a bruise to the Windows community more than a rallying cry, and the ripples still matter. Within hours the replies filled with blunt frustration: power users and developers pressed Microsoft on...

RSA’s new RSA ID Plus for Microsoft lineup — anchored by the RSA ID Plus M1 SKU now generally available on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace — is a deliberate attempt to layer phishing‑resistant, passwordless identity controls and operational resilience on top of Microsoft Entra ID, with a...

Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 are not universally down on November 13, 2025 — but the question is understandable: a string of high‑visibility incidents over the last six weeks has left IT teams, admins and everyday users hypersensitive to any hiccup. Recent large outages tied to Azure Front...

Cayosoft’s new Guardian Protector brings always-on identity monitoring to teams that still treat Active Directory and Entra ID as the single most critical risk vector, promising real-time alerts, agentless deployment, and a freemium model that removes cost as the first barrier to better hybrid...

Microsoft’s latest product roadmap hints at a bold, arguably unsettling next step: AI agents that appear in corporate directories, receive email and Teams addresses, sit on org charts and act like “independent users” inside the enterprise — attending meetings, editing documents and autonomously...

Microsoft Azure is not universally “down” today — but last week’s high‑impact Azure Front Door disruption that began on October 29 produced a broad, multi‑hour outage across Microsoft 365, Xbox services, the Azure Portal and thousands of customer sites, and the technical aftershocks and industry...

On October 29–31, 2025 Microsoft’s cloud experienced a high‑visibility disruption that left Microsoft 365 users, game players, retailers and several high‑profile consumer services intermittently unreachable — engineers traced the proximate trigger to a configuration error in Azure Front Door...

Windows 11 Insiders are now being offered a small but potentially meaningful change to crash recovery: when the operating system detects a bugcheck (an unexpected restart, commonly visible to users as a blue/green/black screen), Windows may prompt you at sign‑in to schedule a quick Windows...

Microsoft’s cloud fabric suffered a major, wide‑ranging disruption that left customers — from gamers to airlines and enterprise admins — facing timeouts, failed sign‑ins and blank management portals as engineers worked to roll back changes and restore edge routing capacity. Background / Overview...
