An on-premises server solution that allows users to authenticate to Active Directory by using their Active Directory credentials. This eliminates the need for users to remember separate passwords for on-premises and cloud resources.

A set of security settings and policies that are automatically enabled in a new Azure tenant. It strengthens the security of your tenant by enforcing certain security measures like MFA, password complexity, and account lockout.

A feature that enables a user to access a device or application without entering their password. It uses a mobile app, biometric authentication, or a PIN, and prompts the user to approve the sign-in with a simple click or gesture.

A collection of user accounts in Azure AD that have similar permissions and roles. This makes it easier to manage access to resources by allowing you to assign permissions to a group instead of to individual users.

A type of password protection that can be configured on an Active Directory domain to prevent users from using commonly used or weak passwords. It can also block specific patterns in passwords.

A feature that allows users to access on-premises resources through the cloud. It makes it easier for users to access these resources from remote locations without having to establish a VPN connection.

A feature that automatically checks incoming sign-ins for any activity that might indicate a risk. These risks can include unusual login times, locations, or devices or potentially compromised passwords. It can also track suspicious user activity and identify users who might be trying to access sensitive data.

A feature that allows you to control access to applications and resources based on user location. This helps prevent access from high-risk countries, ensuring the security of your data.

A type of risk that is associated with a user account. This can occur when a user's credentials are compromised through a data breach, phishing attack, or malware infection.

A feature that allows you to track and manage the activities of users within a cloud application. This helps you monitor potential security risks and identify any suspicious behaviour within specific apps.

A setting in Azure AD that automatically locks out accounts after repeated incorrect password attempts to prevent unauthorized access.

A feature in Azure AD that lets you control the duration of a user's authentication session. This helps reduce the risk of unauthorized access if a user's device is compromised and allows you to control what resources are accessible during a specific time.

A feature in Azure AD that allows administrators to block access to a user's account as a security measure. This is used to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information or to mitigate a potential security risk.

A type of risk that indicates a sign-in from a location that is unlikely for the user to be in, such as a foreign country or a location far outside of their usual working hours.

A feature in Azure AD that lets you restrict access to resources based on the type of client that is being used to access the resource. This helps prevent access from unauthorized or insecure devices.

A feature in Azure AD that allows you to track and identify the users and applications that are accessing your on-premises network through a VPN connection. This helps increase security by identifying suspicious activity and potential risks with VPN connections.

A type of risk that indicates a sign-in from a location that is potentially compromised or known to be associated with malicious activity. This can include specific IP addresses, DNS servers, or locations.

A type of risk that is associated with a user account. This can occur when a user's credentials are compromised through a data breach, phishing attack, or malware infection.

A feature in Azure AD that allows you to configure a group of users who have specific permissions and roles within Azure AD. It makes it easier to manage user access to Azure AD resources by applying permissions to a group instead of individual users.

A feature in Azure AD that lets administrators create groups that are designed to be used as a distribution list for sending emails or distributing information, rather than providing access to resources.

A type of risk that indicates a sign-in from an anonymous IP address or a system or device that is unable to be identified. This can be a security concern as unauthorized users can access your resources without being identified.

A type of risk that is associated with a user account. This can occur when a user's credentials are compromised through a data breach, phishing attack, or malware infection.

A feature in Azure that allows you to track and manage the resources that are being accessed from your Azure tenant. This helps you monitor potential security risks and identify any suspicious behavior.

A setting in Azure AD that lets you control the amount of time a user can stay authenticated to an Azure AD application. This helps reduce the risk of unauthorized access if a user's device is compromised.

A type of authentication where the user provides two factors to verify their identity. This helps improve security by ensuring that the user is who they claim to be.

A feature in Azure AD that allows administrators to review the permissions that have been assigned to users and applications within Azure AD. This helps ensure compliance and identify any potential security risks.

A feature in Azure AD that enables you to synchronize your on-premises user accounts with Azure AD. This helps simplify user management, enabling users to access cloud resources with their existing on-premises credentials.

A setting in Azure AD that lets you define a set of rules for managing access to Azure AD resources. These rules can include factors like location, device type, or user risk. This allows you to control access to your resources based on specific conditions.

A cloud app security feature that automatically identifies unmanaged cloud applications that are being accessed from your network. This provides insights into which unauthorized apps are being used, helping you improve security by identifying potential risks.

A feature in Azure AD that lets you create a rule to prevent specific users from accessing specific resources. This helps improve security by limiting access based on user roles or access levels.

A type of password that is used to access an application or resource, rather than signing in to a computer. It is often generated by an authenticator app and is typically used in combination with multi-factor authentication.

A feature in Azure AD that allows administrators to assign a specific role to a user or group within an Azure AD tenant. This grants the user or group specific permissions to manage resources within the tenant.
