Question 1

What is Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)?

Accepted Answer

Azure AD is Microsoft's cloud-based identity and access management service that enables employees to sign in and access resources in external (Microsoft 365, Azure) and internal (corporate apps) environments.

Question 2

What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in Azure AD?

Accepted Answer

MFA is an authentication method that requires users to verify their identity using two or more factors: something they know (password), something they have (phone), or something they are (biometric).

Question 3

What is Conditional Access in Azure AD?

Accepted Answer

Conditional Access is a tool that uses signals (user location, device, app) to automate access control decisions, enforcing policies such as requiring MFA or blocking access under certain conditions.

Question 4

What is the principle of Least Privilege in the context of Azure security?

Accepted Answer

Least Privilege means granting users only the minimum permissions required to perform their job, reducing the attack surface and limiting potential damage from compromised accounts.

Question 5

What is Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)?

Accepted Answer

Azure RBAC is an authorization system that provides fine-grained access management to Azure resources by assigning roles (Owner, Contributor, Reader) to users, groups, or service principals.
