ALT Manage individual Security Defaults protections (preview) Organizations need to protect their accounts from common identity attacks, even when they don't have the resources to build and maintain custom security policies. Security Defaults provides a Microsoft-managed security baseline that helps protect accounts with multifactor authentication (MFA) and blocks vulnerable or commonly abused sign-in methods. The original Security Defaults experience uses one on/off setting for all protections. The updated experience introduces individual rules, so administrators can see what each protection does, whom it covers, and whether it's enabled. You can change one protection without turning off the others. This article explains how to manage these protections in Microsoft Entra ID Free. Security Defaults is available at no extra cost; no P1 or P2 license is required for the baseline protections.
