How I Secure Admins in Microsoft 365

Video Description

Privileged accounts are the #1 target for attackers and in Microsoft 365, a single compromised Global Administrator can give hackers the keys to your entire environment. In this video, I’ll show you how to secure your admins in Microsoft 365, step-by-step, using the same framework we apply across every tenant we manage. From inventorying Global Admins to implementing phishing-resistant MFA, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and Access Reviews, you’ll see exactly how to go from “basic” to “advanced” admin security. 🧩 Here’s what we cover: 00:00 – Privileged accounts: the #1 target for attackers 00:17 – Why “secure” tenants often aren’t secure 01:02 – Real-world examples of bad admin practices 01:59 – Level 1: Inventory your Global Admins 07:43 – Level 2: Establish Break Glass (Emergency Access) Accounts 09:19 – Level 3: Validate MFA and move to phishing-resistant methods 13:23 – Level 4: Adopt a Least Privilege Model 16:03 – Level 5: Set up Dedicated Admin Workstations (PAWs) 18:47 – Level 6: Just-in-Time Access with Privileged Identity Management (PIM) 22:25 – Level 7: Create Admin Role Change Alerts 24:10 – Level 8: Automate Access Reviews for Ongoing Assurance 🔒 Bonus: I also demo how we use CloudCapsule to automatically run these checks across every tenant.
