Common Attacks Against Azure AD
Common attacks against Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) include phishing, brute force attacks, password spray attacks, token theft, and privilege escalation. These attacks aim to compromise user credentials, exploit vulnerabilities, or gain unauthorized access to sensitive data within Azure AD. Organizations must implement robust security measures such as multifactor authentication (MFA), strong password policies, regular security assessments, and monitoring to mitigate the risk of such attacks and safeguard their Azure AD environment.
Azure Active Directory
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a service for managing identities and access in the cloud. This solution facilitates access to thousands of additional SaaS applications, the Azure portal, and external resources like Microsoft 365 for your staff members. They can also access internal resources like apps on your business intranet network and any cloud apps created by your own company, thanks to Azure Active Directory. You can also maintain your on-premises Active Directory implementation with the assistance of Azure AD. Simply explained, Azure AD enables users to sign up for various services and access them from any location via the cloud using a single username and password.
