Stop Treating All Data the Same: How to Master Microsoft 365 Security with Authentication Contexts

Not all data is equally sensitive, yet many Microsoft 365 environments treat every file and app the same. Blanket multi-factor authentication creates fatigue, and security signals get ignored. That’s where authentication contexts come in. They let you apply stricter Conditional Access controls only to high-value resources—like finance or HR data—while keeping everyday workflows smooth.
