Strengthen your security posture in Microsoft Entra by following prioritized Secure Score recommendations. Enforce MFA, block legacy authentication, and apply risk-based Conditional Access policies to reduce exposure from stale accounts and weak authentication methods. Use built-in tools for user, group, and device administration to detect and clean up identity sprawl—like unused credentials, inactive accounts, and expired apps—before they become vulnerabilities. Jeremy Chapman, Microsoft 365 Director, shares steps to clean up your directory, strengthen authentication, and improve overall identity security. ► QUICK LINKS:  00:00 - Microsoft Entra optimization 00:54 - New Recommendations tab 02:11 - Enforce multifactor authentication 03:21 - Block legacy authentication protocols 03:58 - Apply risk-based Conditional Access 04:44 - Identity sprawl 05:46 - Fix account sprawl 08:06 - Microsoft 365 group sprawl 09:36 - Devices 10:33 - Wrap up ► Link References Watch part one of our Microsoft Entra Beginner's Tutorial series at https://aka.ms/EntraBeginnerMechanics Check out https://aka.ms/MicrosoftEntraRecommendations ► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?
