But identity security depends heavily on correct policy configuration. Conditional Access policies, authentication requirements, and risk-based protections can drift over time, creating gaps where users, applications, or sign-in scenarios bypass intended security controls.
Conditional Access policies determine when and how users must authenticate before accessing applications. Reach analyzes policy coverage across users, groups, and applications to identify authentication paths not protected by Conditional Access. It also highlights scenarios where policies are inconsistently applied or certain workloads are left unprotected. By strengthening Conditional Access coverage, Reach helps ensure all authentication flows are protected by strong identity-based access controls.
Multi-factor authentication and authentication strength policies are critical defenses against credential-based attacks. Reach analyzes Conditional Access authentication requirements to identify users, applications, or sign-in scenarios where MFA is not required or weaker authentication methods are allowed. It also surfaces inconsistencies between policies applied to different groups. By strengthening authentication enforcement, Reach helps prevent attackers from gaining access using stolen credentials.
Conditional Access policies often contain exclusions, exceptions, or named location allowances designed to maintain usability. Over time, these exclusions can create unintended authentication bypass paths. Reach analyzes policy logic, exclusions, and rule precedence to identify scenarios where security policies are unintentionally bypassed. Reach tightens these policy conditions to ensure attackers cannot exploit gaps in identity protection.
Entra ID provides sign-in risk and user risk policies that respond to suspicious authentication activity. Reach analyzes these risk-based policies to identify environments where automated risk responses are not fully configured or enforced. It highlights opportunities to require stronger authentication or block high-risk sign-ins. In doing this, Reach helps organizations automatically respond to compromised accounts and suspicious login activity.
