risk-based sign-in
About this tag
Risk-based sign-in is a core identity security feature in Microsoft 365 that evaluates the likelihood of a sign-in attempt being unauthorized based on real-time signals such as unusual location, device, or behavior. The tagged content emphasizes that disaster resilience in M365 starts with hardening identity, including implementing risk-based sign-in policies in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). Experts argue that preventing identity compromise through conditional access and risk detection is more critical than focusing solely on backups and disaster recovery. By blocking or challenging high-risk sign-ins, organizations can stop breaches before they occur, making risk-based sign-in a foundational element of a zero-trust security strategy.
