Conditional Access: Making access decisions based on user, device, location, and risk. Identity Governance: Managing the lifecycle of user identities, including provisioning and deprovisioning. Continuous Monitoring: Detecting unusual sign-in behavior, device compromise, or impossible travel scenarios.”

“2.3 Real Example: Identity Breach Impact Consider an enterprise where a manager’s credentials were stolen through a phishing email. The attacker logged in with valid credentials. Since no MFA or conditional access was in place, the system assumed the login was legitimate. The attacker accessed sensitive financial data and moved laterally through the network. Lesson: When identity is not well protected, everything else is vulnerable.”
