Conditional Access in Microsoft Azure Active Directory, when tied with Mobile Application Management and Mobile Device Management in Microsoft Intune are the core pillars for building zero trust based access controls in Microsoft 365 and Azure published services. We will cover MDM and MAM policies, how Intune device compliance is applied to Conditional Access by Intune, when deploying authentication and most importantly a tested model for layered access, specifically as it relates to M365 in a variety of trust states.
This could be considered for Defensive or Security 101.
