First of all, best wishes for the new year. Hopefully everyone has been able to enjoy the nice days with family and friends. I have been a bit less active on the blog for a while but want to post some articles again this year about new features related to O365<\/a>, Azure, Windows365<\/a> and Azure Virtual Desktop. Let’s start with this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever gotten an authentication request from your work account when you\u2019re not working? This was the question that a client asked me a while ago. This can be annoying and worrying, especially if you care about your work data security. In this blog post, I\u2019ll share with you how I solved this problem for this client and for myself. I\u2019ll show you how to use a feature called report suspicious activity<\/strong> in Entra, a tool that helps you manage your authentication requests. This feature can help you avoid unwanted requests and report any suspicious activity on your account. Want to know how? Read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re like me, you probably didn\u2019t even know this feature existed until recently. But it turns out that it\u2019s a very useful and powerful tool to protect your account from fraud and hacking attempts. I\u2019ll show you how to enable and use report suspicious activity, a feature that lets you report any unknown and suspicious MFA prompts that you receive on your phone or Microsoft Authenticator app. These alerts are integrated with Identity Protection for more comprehensive coverage and capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature can help you prevent unauthorized access to your account and data, as well as alert the administrators of any potential security breaches. Users who report an MFA prompt as suspicious are set to High User Risk, which means that administrators can use risk-based policies to limit their access or require them to reset their password. This can also help you identify and disable any impacted users who might have fallen victim to phishing or malware attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
