This guide gives security and IT teams practical, immediately actionable steps to reduce the risk of tenant-level compromise and mass device destruction.
What You’ll Learn how to
- Restrict admin access to managed devices only
- Reduce who can perform destructive device actions
- Eliminate permanent high-risk administrative access
- Shut down risky OAuth and app registration pathways
- Detect bulk wipe activity and automate response
- Improve resilience with backup, recovery, and emergency controls
The white paper also breaks down the four common misconfigurations that make these attacks possible and the top actions to implement first to materially reduce risk.
Why It Matters
A compromised Intune or Microsoft 365 admin account can become the cloud equivalent of a domain admin compromise. Attackers can abuse legitimate tools, APIs, and permissions to wipe devices, change policies, revoke access, and operate at scale. The white paper focuses on protecting that cloud control plane with the same rigor organisations once applied to on-premises domain controllers.
