Microsoft 365 Virtual Training Day: Secure and Protect Your Organization — Lesson 2: Identity and Access Protection

Learning Objectives

• Apply multifactor authentication, Conditional Access, passwordless, and least privilege
• Review privileged identity, sign-in risk, access reviews, and external collaboration
• Plan emergency access, role separation, and identity monitoring

Detailed Topics

• Apply multifactor authentication: Apply multifactor authentication, Conditional Access, passwordless, and least privilege
• Review privileged identity: Review privileged identity, sign-in risk, access reviews, and external collaboration
• Plan emergency access: Plan emergency access, role separation, and identity monitoring

Guided Demonstration

1. Review the requirement, users, data, dependencies, permissions, risks, and expected result.
2. Demonstrate the relevant configuration, development, administration, analysis, or collaboration workflow step by step.
3. Capture settings, outputs, logs, screenshots, calculations, test results, and other useful evidence.
4. Compare the observed result with acceptance criteria and explain any corrective action.

Hands-On Activity

Design an identity and access protection policy set.

• Document assumptions, prerequisites, and the planned sequence before starting.
• Complete the activity and preserve evidence of normal, boundary, and failure behavior.
• Record issues, corrective actions, reusable notes, and the next improvement priority.

Scenario Analysis

• Identify the business or technical decision that must be made.
• Compare valid implementation approaches and their trade-offs.
• Consider security, privacy, accessibility, performance, support, and operational impact.

Troubleshooting Focus

• Separate symptoms from causes and collect evidence before applying a fix.
• Check configuration, data, permissions, dependencies, capacity, connectivity, and recent changes.
• Validate rollback, recovery, ownership, user impact, and business continuity.

Validation Checklist

• The requirement, scope, inputs, and expected outcome are clear.
• The selected design or configuration is documented and follows approved standards.
• Normal, boundary, failure, security, accessibility, and operational conditions are reviewed.
• The result is supported by evidence and the next improvement is prioritized.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can explain and apply Identity and Access Protection in a realistic scenario and validate the result with documented evidence.
