Manage PIM Policies in Microsoft Entra Using PowerShell

Manage PIM Policies in Microsoft Entra Using PowerShell

Granting privileged access such as the Global Administrator role for project work is common, especially when external expertise is involved.

This increases the risk of privilege misuse, audit gaps, and compliance issues.  Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) policies help prevent this. They let you set expiration periods, require multifactor authentication (MFA) or approval, and notify the right people when roles are activated.  In this blog,... Read More Read More

How to Manage Channel Policies in Microsoft Teams

How to Manage Channel Policies in Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams gives users and owners a lot of freedom to create channels. That’s great for collaboration, but without limits, this can become a security risk. Imagine a user creates a private channel and shares sensitive information without any admin oversight. Since private channels are hidden from the rest of the team, this lack of visibility can lead to data leaks, policy violations, or unintentional shadow IT. Without proper controls, these channels can turn into blind spots for IT admins. ... Read More Read More
