Overview of this book

The Microsoft 365 Security, Compliance, and Identity Administration is designed to help you manage, implement, and monitor security and compliance solutions for Microsoft 365 environments. With this book, you’ll first configure, administer identity and access within Microsoft 365. You’ll learn about hybrid identity, authentication methods, and conditional access policies with Microsoft Intune. Next, you’ll discover how RBAC and Azure AD Identity Protection can be used to detect risks and secure information in your organization. You’ll also explore concepts such as Microsoft Defender for endpoint and identity, along with threat intelligence. As you progress, you’ll uncover additional tools and techniques to configure and manage Microsoft 365, including Azure Information Protection, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-equipped to manage and implement security measures within your Microsoft 365 suite successfully.

You also learned how to create a simple Conditional Access policy as well as app-based and device-based policies integrated with Microsoft Intune. In addition, you explored how to utilize the Azure AD Sign-ins page to track successful, failed, and unapplied Conditional Access policy events.

Note

Azure AD Conditional Access also integrates with Azure AD Identity Protection and Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps. These topics will be covered in later chapters of this book.

The next chapter will show you how role assignment and privileged identities can be used in Azure AD to...
