In this second part, we demonstrate how a Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) assessment is performed in practice. Using a low-cost IP camera as an example, we show how a product is classified, how threats are modelled, how hardware and firmware are analysed, and how compliance gaps against IEC 62443-4-2 can be identified. You may want […]

On paper, the vast majority of crisis plans look reasonable, actionable and complete. Once the rubber hits the road, however, chaos emerges quickly.
This post is part of a small blog series covering common Entra ID security findings observed during real-world assessments. Each article explores selected findings in more detail to provide a clearer understanding of the underlying risks and practical implications. Conditional Access Policies Conditional Access policies are among the most important security controls in Entra ID. […]

In part 2 of our 4-part series on common Entra ID security findings, we show how seemingly harmless group configurations can be abused to bypass security controls and gain high privileges.
The post shows scenarios where insufficiently protected groups are used to:
weaken Conditional Access protections for administrators
enable privilege escalation through PIM for Groups
grant privileged access to Azure resources, leading to full compromise
We also show how to detect these issues in practice using EntraFalcon and how to mitigate them.
This post is part of a small blog series covering common Entra ID security findings observed during real-world assessments. Each article explores selected findings in more detail to support a clearer understanding of the underlying risks and practical implications. Introduction In the vast majority of tenants we review, there are enterprise applications that originate from […]
