Conditional Access 101: Understanding and Implementing This Powerful Security Feature

In this video, we'll be discussing the importance of MFA and how you can use conditional access to ensure that your organization's accounts are properly secured. Did you know that only 26.64% of Azure AD accounts use MFA? This means that a large number of accounts are not adequately protected against unauthorized access. By implementing conditional access, you can require MFA for certain types of access and help prevent unauthorized access to your organization's systems and data.

We'll start by providing an overview of conditional access and explaining how it works. We'll then demonstrate how to deploy a policy to secure your organization's admin accounts using MFA. Whether you're a security administrator or just want to learn more about how to protect your accounts, this video is for you. By the end of it, you'll have a good understanding of how conditional access works and how you can use it to enhance the security of your organization's resources.

This works well and has a lot of neat features, but most admins not super knowledgeable about the product shouldn't setup the more advanced ones until they feel comfortable with it.
In my experience, this gets messy or annoying in a couple hypotheticals.. country based location filtering unfortunately seems to require location sharing which is extremely annoying. Once one starts to setup granular CA policies, it's like a fence around a house where every location or user group needs a set of boards for each application or however the policies are oriented. This makes for a messy set of error prone policies and one needs to spend a lot of time in the CA 'what if analyzer' to make sure they have every hypothetical login protected.
