A county wants stronger protection for privileged Microsoft 365 roles by combining a second sign-in factor with adaptive access rules. Which pairing best matches that fundamentals goal?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Privileged roles deserve more than one trick. MFA proves who you are harder; Conditional Access decides whether this sign-in looks safe enough. Stack them and the county’s admin story gets much tougher to abuse.
Full Explanation
MFA strengthens authentication, while Conditional Access applies contextual policies to privileged or sensitive access. Using both is a common layered identity approach described in Microsoft 365 fundamentals. Productivity apps and features such as To Do, Stream, Known Folder Move, Bookings, or PivotTables are not substitutes for those identity controls.
