Awareness
This section helps you to analyze the benefits of Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Password Protection. You will learn about the ease of use, pricing and licensing model, as well as customer stories about how it helped improve their business. You will also receive up-to-date announcements and access to blogs that discuss ongoing improvements.
Business Overview
Your organization's protected assets should be available to only those who have authorized access. Unfortunately, poor password choices expose you to the risk of corporate data breaches. You need a password system that prevents users from setting up easily guessed passwords when they select or change their passwords.
Most users think if they have chosen a password that meets a complexity requirement, something like P@$$w0rd1! they are safe. Attackers know how users create passwords, and there are three methods they use to be aware of:
? They know to account for character substitutions like "$" for "s". ? They also know that if there are complexity rules, most people will apply them in the same way, by starting a
word with a capital letter and ending the password with a digit or punctuation. ? They know that requiring users to change their passwords periodically leads to other predictable patterns. For
instance, if users must change their password every quarter, they often pick passwords based on sports teams, months or seasons and combine them with the current year.
To defend your organization from a password spray attack, it is integral for all users to have passwords that are hard to guess. However, it is often difficult for users to know how to create hard-to-guess passwords.
Azure AD Password Protection allows you to eliminate easily guessed passwords and customize lockout settings for your environment., the feature lets you:
? Protect accounts in Azure AD and Windows Server Active Directory by preventing users from using passwords from a list of more than 500 of the most commonly used passwords, plus over 1-million-character substitution variations of those passwords.
? Manage password protection for Azure AD and on-premises Windows Server Active Directory from a unified admin experience in the Azure portal.
? Customize Azure AD smart lockout settings and specify a list of added company specific passwords to block.
