Public Preview: Token Protection for Sign-In Sessions
Overview of Token Protection
Token Protection is a feature of Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) that helps protect user accounts against attacks that involve stealing user credentials. This feature is now available as a public preview. Token Protection helps ensure that only verified users can access an application, even if their credentials have been stolen or compromised.
How Token Protection Works
Token Protection works by validating users’ credentials against the Azure AD service when they log in to an application. If the credentials are valid, the user is granted access to the application. If the credentials are not valid, the user is blocked from accessing the application.
Benefits of Token Protection
* Reduce the risk of account compromise: Token Protection helps reduce the risk of account compromise by verifying that the user’s credentials are valid before granting access to the application.
* Protect against credential stuffing attacks: Token Protection helps protect against credential stuffing attacks, which are a type of attack where a malicious actor attempts to gain access to an application using a list of stolen credentials.
* Ensure user privacy and security: Token Protection helps ensure that only verified users can access the application, which helps protect user privacy and security.
How to Enable Token Protection
Token Protection can be enabled by configuring the Azure AD service. To enable Token Protection, you must first create an application in Azure AD and configure the required settings. Once the application is created, you can then configure the settings for Token Protection.
Conclusion
