32 publicationsRoll out Entra token protection without breaking unsupported clients
Token protection makes Entra ID refuse token requests that a device-bound session does not back. Scope it to supported apps and platforms, triage report-only data by code and platform, and cover what stays unbound.
Identity & access · Microsoft Entra / Microsoft Intune / Microsoft Graph · By Cloud Security DeskInvestigate a SaaS integration breach through its OAuth tokens
A vendor that stores OAuth tokens for your SaaS tenants has been breached. Confirm from your own logs what the tokens did, revoke them on every platform, and search the exposed records for secrets.
Detection & response · Salesforce / Google Workspace / Microsoft Entra ID · By Cloud Security DeskTier Entra administrator roles by the control they can take
Microsoft's own password reset and sensitive action tables show which Entra roles can take over which accounts. Use them, plus the non-role paths, to set three tiers, assignment rules and the controls that keep lower tiers out.
Identity & access · Microsoft Entra / Microsoft Graph · By Cloud Security DeskFind the AWS global control planes in your recovery path
Thirteen AWS control planes run in us-east-1 or us-west-2, and ordinary calls from other Regions still reach them. Audit runbooks, SDK settings and the last exercise, then swap each dependency for a data-plane operation.
Resilience · Amazon Web Services · By Cloud Security DeskPlan for an outage at your CDN or edge provider
When the CDN, WAF and edge provider fails, traffic can move to a regional WAF, a second CDN or the origin, and each keeps less protection. Decide early whether a second path is worth securing.
Resilience · Microsoft Azure / Cloudflare / Amazon Web Services / Google Cloud · By Cloud Security DeskFind the Entra changes that Backup and Recovery cannot roll back
Microsoft Entra Backup and Recovery rolls listed properties back to a daily backup kept for seven days. Credentials, role assignments, owners and user consent stay in place, and an unscoped recovery can undo your own containment.
Resilience · Microsoft Entra / Microsoft Graph · By Cloud Security DeskKeep semantic response caches inside authorization scope
A semantic cache returns whatever its nearest stored prompt earned. Put tenant, user or entitlement scope, template and model into an exact-match partition, close the write path, and treat thresholds as a correctness setting.
AI systems · Microsoft Azure / Google Cloud / Redis / GPTCache / Amazon Web Services · By Cloud Security DeskCompare just-in-time privileged access in AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
Entra PIM and Google Cloud PAM make roles temporary natively, while AWS relies on TEAM or partner tools. All three end elevation by removing an assignment, and sessions, caches and minted tokens can keep running.
Identity & access · Amazon Web Services / Microsoft Azure / Microsoft Entra / Google Cloud · By Cloud Security DeskPlan Azure disaster recovery for a region without a pair
Thirteen Azure regions have no pair and eight more pair with a restricted-access region. This guide shows which built-in geo-redundancy disappears, what replaces it service by service, and how to choose the recovery region.
Resilience · Microsoft Azure · By Cloud Security DeskRoll over a SAML signing certificate without an SSO outage
Replacing an identity provider's SAML signing key is a separate contract with every service provider. Classify each one by how it learns keys, overlap where it can hold two and finish by removing the old key everywhere.
Identity & access · Microsoft Entra / Okta / Google Workspace / Amazon Web Services · By Cloud Security DeskMap the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications to cloud controls
Each OWASP agentic risk mapped to the controls AWS, Microsoft and Google document for their agent platforms, with a plain account of which risks no infrastructure setting can close.
AI systems · OWASP GenAI Security Project / Amazon Web Services / Microsoft Azure / Google Cloud · By Cloud Security DeskGive Kubernetes pods cloud credentials without static keys
EKS Pod Identity, IRSA, AKS Workload ID and Workload Identity Federation for GKE all swap a projected token for short-lived credentials. What leaks if you stop there is the node's own identity.
Identity & access · Amazon Web Services / Microsoft Azure / Google Cloud / Kubernetes · By Cloud Security DeskPrepare Azure automation for mandatory MFA on resource management
Azure now requires MFA for user accounts that write through Resource Manager. Find the scripts and pipelines that still sign in as people and move each one to a managed identity or federated credential.
Identity & access · Microsoft Azure / Microsoft Entra / GitHub / Azure DevOps / HashiCorp Terraform · By Cloud Security DeskBuild an inventory of non-human identities across cloud accounts
Find every service account, service principal, role and key across AWS, Entra and Google Cloud, then record the owner, credential type, privilege and last use that turn a list into decisions.
Identity & access · Amazon Web Services / Microsoft Entra / Microsoft Azure / Google Cloud / OWASP · By Cloud Security DeskLet AWS workloads call external services with IAM-issued tokens
IAM outbound identity federation lets an AWS role trade its credentials for a signed JWT instead of storing a vendor API key. AWS controls issuance; the receiving service's claim checks decide what the token is worth.
Identity & access · Amazon Web Services / AWS IAM / AWS STS / Microsoft Entra · By Cloud Security DeskRun code written by AI agents inside a disposable sandbox
Treat agent-generated code as untrusted input. Pick a microVM or user-space kernel boundary, keep egress and credentials off by default, and destroy the session when the user or conversation ends.
AI systems · Amazon Web Services / Microsoft Azure / Google Cloud / Firecracker / gVisor / OWASP · By Cloud Security DeskDefend cloud admin accounts against help desk social engineering
Attackers who talk a help desk into resetting MFA inherit every cloud console behind single sign-on. Verify callers properly, shrink what a reset hands over, and alert on the events it leaves.
Detection & response · Microsoft Entra / Okta / Amazon Web Services / CISA / Mandiant · By Cloud Security DeskGive AI agents their own identity instead of borrowed user tokens
An agent that replays a user's token is invisible in logs and cannot be revoked on its own. Give it a principal, delegate narrowly through token exchange, and use what Entra, AgentCore and Google now provide.
Identity & access · Microsoft Entra / Amazon Web Services / Google Cloud / IETF / Model Context Protocol · By Cloud Security DeskGet an Azure alert when a role assignment changes
Detect successful RBAC changes and test alert delivery without expanding a production role.
Detection & response · Azure · By Cloud Security DeskCheck and stop anonymous access to Azure blobs
Understand account and container settings and prove both anonymous denial and intended app access.
Workload security · Azure · By Cloud Security DeskConnect to Azure OpenAI without an API key
Prove Entra-based inference with a scoped runtime identity before disabling local authentication.
AI systems · Azure · By Cloud Security DeskSet explicit trust boundaries for Entra partner access
Accepting another tenant’s authentication claims is a specific trust decision, not blanket approval of its users, devices or access to your applications.
Identity & access · Microsoft · By Cloud Security DeskFind the Purview audit history your investigation can still retrieve
Resolve Purview audit availability at the record level by separating actor eligibility, retention policy, collection status, investigator scope and export limits.
Detection & response · Microsoft Purview / Microsoft 365 · By Cloud Security DeskPasskey deployment needs a recovery design
A workforce passkey rollout needs a recovery contract before broad enforcement. Separate credential custody, enrollment evidence and application sessions.
