In this article, we're going to talk about how users can use the Microsoft 365 access control feature to prevent credential theft and other cyberattacks.
Most users worry about how they can avoid unauthorized access to their accounts and stay safe from scams and other attacks. In this regard, logic can be helpful to prevent attacks and suspect when we are being targeted by one of them.
Microsoft 365 users can review the devices where services have been accessed with their account. This helps detect possible identity usurpation or credential theft.
To access this Microsoft access control feature, we must go to our profile icon, located in the upper right corner of the screen, and click "View account".
On our account information screen, we will find different sections, but the one that interests us in this case is the one corresponding to "Devices".
If we click on the corresponding card, we will see information about the devices we have used to access Microsoft 365 resources.
It is important to check if these devices match ours and if we have ever used them. If any of them does not match our devices, it is important to alert the IT department. This way they can investigate these strange behaviors. Additionally, if we click on any of the devices, we can see more information about it.
In summary, with the Microsoft 365 access control feature, users can help keep the organization's data and credentials secure.
Checking devices periodically prevents attacks and protects data integrity with a few simple steps.
