Microsoft is introducing an automatic rollout of Microsoft-managed Conditional Access policies to enhance cloud identity security. This approach is inspired by the “pit of success” philosophy, which aims to make secure postures easy to adopt and difficult to abandon. While many customers use security defaults, others require more granular control, which is where Conditional Access comes in. Microsoft-managed Conditional Access policies offer clear, self-deploying guidance that can be customized to specific needs. Microsoft will gradually roll out these policies to all eligible tenants, giving them 90 days to review and customize them before activation. The aim is to combine machine learning-based policy insights and recommendations with automated policy rollout to strengthen security posture.
