They need controls that enable them to trigger different decisions based on a set of pre-defined conditions.

“With so many employees working beyond the corporate firewall, and on devices not under the IT team’s direct control, IT decision makers must rethink their approach to risk reduction for unauthorized access to resources,” said Parthiban Paramasivam, director of product management, ADSelfService Plus. “ADSelfService Plus’ Conditional Access Policy ensures that every access request is judged based on multiple risk factors without impeding employee productivity.”
ADSelfService Plus’ Conditional Access Policy offers a new way of using the already available authenticators including biometrics, YubiKey, and Microsoft Authenticator.
