Strengthen User Security with Advanced Identity Management.

OVERVIEW

One of the most common cyberattack vectors is compromised credentials. Malicious actors with access to AI technologies have increased the sophistication and effectiveness of their attacks. Preventing credential theft is critical. As of September 30, 2025, authentication methods can’t be managed with Microsoft’s legacy MFA and SSPR policies.

Microsoft Entra ID is a cloud identity and access management solution that safeguards your identities and network access. It allows organizations to adopt a Zero Trust security approach by verifying identities, validating access conditions, checking permissions, encrypting communication channels, and monitoring for breaches.

Our Modernize Identities implementation provides a review of your current identity security configurations, migrates them to the newest authentication methods portal, configures Privileged Identity Management (PIM), access reviews, protects against user and sign-in risk, and introduces newer technologies to strengthen your security posture. This implementation includes configurations included with Entra ID Plans 1 and 2.

AGENDA

Our consultants will configure secure authentication and access policies with advanced MFA and Microsoft’s latest authentication methods.

Daymark consultants will:

• Optimize conditional access, including risk-based profile mitigation in Entra ID Plan 2.
• Explain the migration to Microsoft’s new authentication portal and the benefits of phasing out SMS MFA.
• Explore options like FIDO2 and phishing-resistant MFA to enhance user and admin account security.
• Enable custom banned password lists and dark web monitoring for cloud accounts.
• Configure PIM to manage privileged roles with secure, time-limited access.
• Set up access reviews for sensitive roles and groups to ensure appropriate access.
• Configure protections against risky users and sign-ins.

We will provide insights into Entra ID’s tools for secure internet and on-premises access and automating resource access for better security management. This includes:

• Entra ID’s capabilities, including Secure Security Edge, to protect both on-premises and internet access.
• Entra’s Zero Trust tools to enhance security for internet and on-premises access, replacing VPNs and optimizing Microsoft 365 traffic.
• Automating access to resources, reducing risks and enabling efficient management of team access.
