How Microsoft Entra ID supports US government agencies in meeting identity security requirements

The report outlines how Microsoft Entra ID enables U.S. government agencies to meet OMB M‑22‑09 Zero Trust identity requirements by consolidating identity management, enforcing phishing-resistant MFA (CBA with PIV/CAC, FIDO2/device-bound passkeys, Windows Hello), and applying Conditional Access using device and risk signals, including cross-tenant collaboration and Azure Virtual Desktop scenarios. It highlights customer examples (e.g., migrating from AD FS to cloud CBA, requiring strong authentication for vendors and admins), recommends risk-based policies integrated with Microsoft Intune/Defender/Sentinel, and notes timelines tied to M‑21‑14 for progressing toward fully mature Zero Trust by FY 2026, with next steps and resources for government clouds.
