Working from home best practice outlines


Blocking legacy authentication

Identify then block

Monitoring sign Ins from azure AD for any failed log ins

This is your only friend for supporting and trouble shooting

You must know what is the meaning of every tab, every column in this window specially every protocol

Enable Modern authentication (OAUTH With MFA feature)

3 ways to enable conditional access

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/howto-mfa-getstarted

My recommendations never apply security defaults

You can use the

registration policy

Azure Active Directory Identity Protection will prompt your users to register the next time they sign in interactively and they will have 14 days to complete registration. During this 14-day period, they can bypass registration but at the end of the period they will be required to register before they can complete the sign-in process.

For authentication method use mobile app (free)

Note: you must monitor first to make sure no one is using legacy authenticating
