About this tag
Discussions tagged with identity and access on WindowsForum.com cover the evolving security challenges around authentication, authorization, and identity governance in Microsoft 365 and Azure environments.

The tag also explores identity controls for AI agents in Copilot Studio, red-teaming identity layers in AI stacks, and how Azure Front Door outages exposed identity concentration risks. Recurring themes include hardening identity plumbing, moving beyond MFA as a sole defense, and integrating identity into broader enterprise security strategies.
