Azure AD self-service password reset
Self-service password reset (SSPR) in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) allows users to change or reset their passwords without the involvement of an administrator or help desk. If a user’s account is locked or they forget their password, they can unblock themselves and return to work by following the prompts. This capability reduces help desk calls and productivity loss when a user is unable to sign in to their device or an application.
What is the procedure for resetting a password?
The SSPR portal allows users to reset or change their password. They must first register their preferred authentication methods. When a user accesses the SSPR portal, the Azure platform considers the following factors:
– How should the page be localized?
-Is the user account valid?
-To what organization does the user belong?
Where is the user’s password managed?

Security Defaults in Azure AD
Microsoft is making security defaults available to everyone because managing security can be difficult. Identity-related attacks such as password spraying, replay, and phishing are common in today’s environment. Using multifactor authentication (MFA) and blocking legacy authentication stops more than 99.9% of these identity-related attacks. The goal is to ensure that all organizations have at least a basic level of security enabled at no extra cost.
With preconfigured security settings, security defaults make it easier to protect your organization from these identity-related attacks:
Requiring all users to register for Azure AD Multi-Factor Authentication.
Requiring administrators to do multifactor authentication.
Requiring users to do multifactor authentication when necessary.
Blocking legacy authentication protocols.
Protecting privileged activities like access to the Azure portal.

Conditional Access in Azure Active Directory
The modern security perimeter now includes user and device identity in addition to an organization’s network. Identity-driven signals can be used by organizations to make access control decisions.
Conditional Access combines signals to make decisions and enforce organizational policies. The new identity-driven control plane is powered by Azure AD Conditional Access.
At their most basic, conditional access policies are if-then statements: if a user wants to access a resource, they must first complete an action. For example, a payroll manager needs to access the payroll application and must use multi-factor authentication to do so.

Microsoft Defender for Identity architecture
By recording and parsing network traffic and using Windows events that are sent directly from your domain controllers, Microsoft Defender for Identity keeps an eye on your domain controllers and scans the data it collects for threats and attacks. Defender for Identity learns about your network, allows the identification of abnormalities, and alerts you to suspicious activity using behavioral algorithms, profiling, deterministic detection, machine learning, and these other techniques.

Risk-based access policies in Azure Active Directory
When a sign-in or user is detected to be at risk, access control policies can be used to protect the organization. These are known as risk-based policies.
Sign-in risk and User risk are the two risk conditions offered by Azure AD Conditional Access. By configuring these two risk conditions and selecting an access control method, organizations can create risk-based Conditional Access policies. Identity Protection sends the detected risk levels to Conditional Access during each sign-in, and the risk-based policies apply if the policy conditions are met.

Enterprise-grade DDoS defence for small and medium-sized organisations is accesible in preview.
Customers transferring their applications to the cloud face a number of availability and security issues, including distributed denial of service (DDoS) assaults. Despite the fact that cyberattacks are on the rise, they usually only reach the headlines when a significant business is a victim. Contrary to popular belief, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMBs) are just as alluring to hackers. 1 Large enterprises have the tools necessary to protect themselves, while small businesses frequently lack the funding and manpower needed to counter DDoS attacks.
At Microsoft, we consistently improve our product offerings to meet the needs of all enterprises, and part of that effort includes assisting SMBs in their journey toward digital transformation by making sure they are protected against the most recent DDoS attack vectors. As we announced at Microsoft Ignite, the preview version of the new SKU of Azure DDoS Protection designed for SMBs, Azure DDoS IP Protection SKU, is now accessible.

Monitor, investigate, and remediate elevated risky users
Investigate risk
Identity Protection offers three reports that organisations can use to investigate identity risks in their environment: risky users, risky sign-ins, and risk detections. Investigating events is critical for better understanding and identifying flaws in your securing strategy.
All three reports allow you to download events in.CSV format for analysis outside of the Azure portal. The risky users and risky sign-ins reports can be downloaded for the most recent 2,500 entries, while the risk detections report can be downloaded for the most recent 5,000 records.
Organizations can use the Microsoft Graph API integrations to aggregate data from other sources to which they may have access as an organisation.
The three reports can be found in the Azure portal, Azure Active Directory, and Security.

Configure app connectors
App connectors use app provider APIs to give Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps more visibility and control over the apps you connect to. The APIs provided by the cloud provider are used by Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (MDCA). All communication between Defender for Cloud Apps and connected apps is encrypted using HTTPS. Each service has its own framework and API limitations, such as throttling, API limits, dynamic time-shifting API windows, and so on. Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps collaborated with the services to optimise API usage and performance. Taking into account the various limitations that services impose on APIs, the Defender for Cloud Apps employs the available capacity. Some operations, such as scanning all files in the tenant, necessitate multiple APIs, so they are spread out over a longer period of time. Expect some policies to last several hours or days.

Consent experience for Azure Active Directory applications
This article will teach you about the application consent user experience in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). You will then be able to manage applications intelligently for your organisation and/or develop applications with a more seamless consent experience.
Consent is the process by which a user grants an application permission to access protected resources on their behalf. An administrator or user can be asked for permission to access their organization’s or individual’s data.
The actual user experience of granting consent will vary depending on the tenant policies, the user’s scope of authority (or role), and the type of permissions requested by the client application.
