Before infected endpoints can regain access to corporate applications, enforcing a new Azure AD Conditional Access policy is essential. This measure helps to ensure that any compromised or potentially malicious activity is mitigated before access is granted. By configuring Conditional Access policies, an organization can define specific conditions under which access to applications is granted based on the health of the device, user location, or threat level. This proactive security control protects corporate resources by requiring endpoints to meet compliance standards before connecting again.
This approach addresses potential threats directly and effectively, helping to maintain a secure environment for accessing corporate applications. Other measures, while important in a broader security strategy, do not specifically ensure that only secure, healthy endpoints can access sensitive applications.
