Entra.Chat: Backup, Governance, Conditional Access, and Risk

Original episode on Entra.Chat / Entra.News

I joined Merill Fernando, Ru Campbell, and Thomas Naunheim to work through a busy round of Microsoft Entra announcements. We discussed Backup and Recovery, using difference reports to identify tenant changes, and Tenant Governance for organizations managing multiple tenants.

We also covered the Conditional Access Optimization Agent, passkey tradeoffs, and the unified user risk score in Defender. The conversation connects these announcements to the work admins are already doing: figuring out what changed in a tenant, preparing for recovery, and reviewing how access and risk are managed.
