A Active Directory Identity Protection

Azure Active Directory Identity Protection can analyze a user’s sign-in request against risk factors such as known leaked credentials, atypical travel, malware-linked IP addresses, and unfamiliar sign-in properties. This additional intelligence is useful for organizations looking to automate responses to suspected compromised user accounts without relying on users reporting odd behavior or administrators reviewing logs after the fact.


Access reviews

Access reviews allow better management of group memberships and access to enterprise applications by delegating regular access reviews to specific reviewers to confirm whether the provided access is still required. This is particularly useful for high-privilege security groups or applications that process sensitive data. It is often a regulatory and/or audit requirement to demonstrate effective access management processes.
