With the Azure AD Premium P2 license you are entitled for Azure AD Identity Protection. You will get the option in Conditional Access to assign risk level based options to your policies. Azure AD Identity Protection can detect six different types of suspicious sign-in activities with 3 different levels of risks.
Six suspicious sign-in activities and 3 risk levels
With the riks levels combined with conditional access policies we can protect sensitive application and data access. With this article I am going to show you how to create risk-based conditional access policies
So let’s create a Policy and get Conditional Access applied with risk levels
Azure Application Gateway is an advance type of load-balancer. Where an Azure Load-balancer routes traffic on the transport layer (OSI Layer 4 | TCP + UDP) the Application Gateway is a way more advanced load-balancer. It can route based on URL as well on path’s. On top of that it can do much more, like SSL offloading, autoscaling, redirection, multiple site hosting and the most import of all, it can include a web application firewall (WAF)
With all the features that the Azure application gateway provides, we should be able to setup multiple websites listening on different ports and url’s behind one Azure Application Gateway with just one external IP address.
With this guide you should be able to setup an application gateway with multiple site hostname match and http to https redirect. In this manual we will be using Atlassian Jira and Confluence as an example.
So what are we going to setup:
Deploy Azure application gateway
Configure 2 external URL’s (jira.2azure.nl and confluence.2azure.nl)
We will redirect port 80 to 443 for both websites
Jira will be listening on port 8080 internally (Default port)
Confluence will be listening on port 8090 internally (Default port)
For this guide the VNET, subnets and the virtual machine hosting both websites have already been deployed. During this guide we will not deploy a Web Application Firewall, I will tell more about that in upcoming blog article.
We all know that phishing is going on all the time. But how to defend your organization against these criminals that want to get your login information! The answer is simple, Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection, or short: ATP.
Quite a statement, passwords are bad? Today I’d like to explain why you should work on better security by using other authentication methods than just 1 password.
Why passwords are bad
Password are problematic, very often you see that passwords fall in the hands of unpleasant people. Here are a few things that might happen with a password:
Enterprise Mobility + Security is a Microsoft solution specially developed for management and securing users, company data and applications. This gives you and your users always secured access to your company information without ever worrying about security!
With EM+S we are moving from a managed device to data management and security. This means that it will not only protect your device, but most important, it will take care of security on a document level where you can prevent that confidential data is readable by unauthorized persons.
By using this security suite you can prevent abuse of stolen credentials when one of your users is tricked by a phishing email. You can limit access to company data to only trusted devices (Company and BYOD) by using the Intune portal. But we can limit access to it as well with IP black / white listing. This includes Geoblocking as well, it is impossible to travel from the Netherlands to Russia for example in 5 minutes.
To protect your valuable company data I recommend to always use EM+S for optimal protection. If you want the security to be at its best, E5 is your way to go!

Microsoft bied op
verschillende diensten Advanced Threat protection aan. Helaas zit er marketing
technisch nog steeds hier en daar de naam Defender aan vast, waar het onder
water een compleet ander product is. Het is inmiddels geen simpel antivirus
pakket meer, maar een all-in-one oplossing tegen aanvallen van buitenaf en
binnenuit. Dit gebeurt door Windows ATP voor bescherming van je device, Office
365 ATP voor bescherming van je Email, SharePoint, OneDrive en teams data en
als laatste Azure ATP voor bescherming van alle identiteiten.
Als kers op de taart is er voor on-premise omgevingen is het Azure Security center ontworpen, die net als Windows, constant in contact staat met de Microsoft Azure datacenters om data en informatie uit te wisselen. Inmiddels zijn alle bedreigingen zo uitgebreid en geavanceerd geworden dat 1 enkele computer de rekenkracht ontbreekt om alles te analyseren. De kracht van de Cloud komt hier om de hoek kijken. Informatie die verzameld is bij andere klanten wordt gebruikt om jouw omgeving en apparaat veilig te houden. Het mooie is dat de ATP client standaard in Windows 10 is ingebouwd waardoor er relatief weinig hoeft te gebeuren om het in te zetten.
