Certificate-Based Authentication (CBA) in Microsoft Entra provides secure, passwordless access using X.509 certificates, eliminating phishing, credential reuse, and password fatigue. This presentation explores its core benefits, including strong phishing resistance, lower support costs, simplified compliance, and seamless cloud and hybrid authentication. It also highlights how Entra Conditional Access policies can leverage certificate properties (such as issuer, subject, or extended key usage) to enforce granular, context-aware access controls and further strengthen security posture. Attendees will gain practical deployment and integration strategies for a more resilient, user-friendly authentication environment.

You will learn:

• Eliminate phishing, credential reuse, and password fatigue using X.509 certificates
• Enforce context-aware security with Entra Conditional Access using certificate properties
• Lower support overhead and simplify regulatory requirements
• Deliver secure, frictionless authentication across cloud and on-premises environments
