identity posture management

Identity posture management focuses on assessing and improving the security of user identities and access controls in cloud environments like Microsoft 365. Discussions on WindowsForum.com highlight common identity misconfigurations found in real-world Microsoft 365 tenants, including weak multi-factor authentication (MFA) coverage, excessive administrator privileges, over-provisioned user permissions, and missing password policies. These gaps are identified through identity security posture management tools that scan tenant configurations and flag risks. The recurring theme is that cloud identity has become the new security perimeter, and many organizations still rely on default settings that leave them exposed. The tag covers practical findings from security researchers and advice for Windows administrators on hardening identity controls.
