Enforce MFA with Conditional Access (Step-by-Step Lab) | Azure Security Project

In this lab, I walk you through how to enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) using Conditional Access in Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD). This is a real-world cloud security scenario where we: Enforce MFA for users Block access from non-compliant devices Understand how Conditional Access policies work together Test real login scenarios and analyze results One key takeaway from this lab is how Conditional Access policies are layered — even if a user is excluded from one policy, another policy can still enforce MFA. 🔧 What You’ll Learn: How to create a Conditional Access policy How to enforce MFA in Azure How to test access control policies Why users still get MFA even when excluded Real-world enterprise security behavior 🧠 Lab Environment: Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) Microsoft Intune Windows 10/11 device Test users + security groups 📌 Related Labs in This Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3MZUES7RgPJkjti1aF1pKN7oPOHKjvh7 Device Compliance Policy Lab Why Your Device Gets Blocked (Compliance Explained) Block Legacy Authentication Lab 🚀 Goal: Build real cloud security skills and simulate enterprise-level environments to prepare for roles like: Cloud Security Engineer SOC Analyst Azure Security Engineer
