In addition to this default account, organizations often employ multiple local administrator accounts for various operational needs. Unfortunately, these local administrator accounts frequently have a shared password. While changing the password of a domain account is relatively straightforward and can be done from any domain controller, altering the password of a local account presents certain practical challenges, especially wh ..read more

Last Updated on March 23, 2023 by Dishan M. Francis In privilege identity management, we can enforce MFA verification during the activation process. When this setting is in place, eligible users should have valid MFA claims to proceed with the role activation. But now we can use conditional access policies with PIM role activation. This will allow us to enforce more advanced controls than MFA on role activation. As an example, before the user activates high sensitive role, we can check if the user device is marked as complaint and if the device is Azure AD join. In this blog post, I am going t ..read more

Last Updated on November 7, 2022 by Dishan M. Francis JML (Joiners/Movers/Leavers) process of an organization has a major impact on its security and efficiency. When a new employee joins the organization or an existing employee change the job role, if they do not have access to relevant services/tools to start their job, it is just a waste of resource. Also when someone leaves the company, their access permission to data/services should revoke and accounts should be disabled. If not it creates a security risk.

Last Updated on June 8, 2022 by Dishan M. Francis Azure Bastion is a PaaS service that provides seamless RDP/SSH connectivity to virtual machines via Azure portal. When we use Azure Bastion, virtual machines do not require public IP address to connect even if the VM is in a different VNET (same or different subscription). As long as Azure Bastion subnet can reach the remote network (via VNET peering, VPN), we can use the Azure Bastion service to connect.
