What is Azure Conditional Access Policies?

Azure Conditional Access Policies are a crucial component of Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) that allow organizations to enforce access controls based on specific conditions. These policies evaluate signals like user location, device health, application sensitivity, and real-time risk assessment to determine whether to grant or deny access, require multi-factor authentication (MFA), or enforce other access restrictions. They are commonly used to protect sensitive data, secure cloud applications, and mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to corporate resources by ensuring only trusted users, devices, and locations can access resources under specific conditions.
