What is Azure Active Directory? Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is Microsoft’s cloud-based identity and access management service, which helps an Organization’s employees sign in and access resources. The resources can be external resources like Microsoft 365, Azure portal, and 100 of third party SaaS applications, or internal resources such as apps on Organisation’s corporate network and intranet, along with any cloud apps developed by any organization for their internal purposes. Many big organizations use this Azure AD as an extension of their OnPremise Windows AD to use their resources internally and externally with the same identity. Microsoft Online business services, such as Office 365 or Microsoft Azure, require Azure AD for sign-in and to help with identity protection. If you subscribe/purchase to any Microsoft Online business service, the subscriber automatically gets Azure AD with access to all the free features. To enhance the existing Azure AD implementation, the subscriber can also add paid capabilities by upgrading the existing Free Azure AD to Azure Active Directory Premium P1 or Premium P2 licenses. Azure AD paid licenses are built on top of the existing free directory, providing self-service, enhanced monitoring, security reporting, and secure access for mobile users. In this blog, we are providing an overview of some of the additional features which cover Azure AD Premium P1 and Premium P2 licenses. Administrators can purchase these licenses on a subscription basis after evaluation of the features too. Microsoft provides a free trial of a monthly subscription for evaluation.

Premium features available in Azure AD Premium P1 and P2Password Protection (custom banned password), Password Protection for Windows Server Active Directory (global and custom banned password), Self-service password reset/change/unlock with on-premises write-back, Group access management, Microsoft Cloud App Discovery, Azure AD Join: MDM auto-enrollment and local admin policy customization Azure AD Join: self-service BitLocker recovery, enterprise state roaming, and Advanced security and usage reports

Sign-in risk policy

Here Administrators can enable sign-in risk policy to protect sign-in users and can remediate based on all users/individual and group members ( can exclude any members ). Administrators can set the conditions when the risk policy should apply based on user risk level ( Low, Medium, and High). The end result will be block access or allow access with password rechange requirements.

MFA registration policy

Azure Multi Factor Authentication provides a means to verify every user who is using more than just a username and password. It provides a second layer of security to user sign-ins. In order for users to be able to respond to MFA prompts, they must first register for Azure Multi-Factor Authentication. This registration policy only supports Azure MFA and not OnPremise MFA server or third party MFA Apps. Here too administrators can enforce for all users/individuals or a group member based on Azure MFA registration enforcement.
