- 0 views

Recently, I have heard of two different types of questions related to implementation of OAuth – questions related to Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) use and POP/IMAP OAuth configuration. Finding Basic auth ActiveSync usage in sign-in logs Let’s start with EAS…

Every marketing campaign is one part unique, one part “we’ve done this before and simply need to do it again and again in an organized fashion” – to keep everyone in sync and track what matters most.

When planning a community event, we have some common To-Dos, such as event schedule, agenda, speaker recruitment, promotion, and so on. In terms of event format, online streaming has been widely known as a useful tool that enables organizers to host an online event and for attendees to join the digital event anytime and anywhere. On the other hand, hosting an in-person event requires additional processes both for organizers and attendees, for example, organizers need to find an event venue during the planning phase and help attendees on the event day, and attendees need to go to the event venue physically. Another event format is the hybrid event that gives attendees two …

Microsoft Purview DevOps policies enable at scale access provisioning for IT operations
by Guest inward-eye- 0 replies
- 0 views
Microsoft Purview access policies enable customers to manage access to different data systems across their entire data estate, all from a central location in the cloud. These policies are access grants that can be created through Microsoft Purview Studio, avoiding the need for code. They dictate whether a set of AAD principals (users, groups, etc.) should be allowed or denied a specific type of access (e.g., Read, Modify) to a data source or a data asset within it. These policies get communicated to and get natively enforced by the data source. DevOps policies are a special type of Microsoft Purview access policies. They leverage Microsoft Purview’s understanding o…

Often one of the major contributing factors to the success of these investigations is not only how comprehensive your data collection is, but how fast the data is collected, what data is highlighted, and how consistent the data collection is across different investigations. This blog series highlights ways you can leverage an Azure AD application registration and OAuth authentication to allow API ac…
