This blog post from a Microsoft Deputy CISO outlines security best practices to reduce attacks of opportunity, focusing on credential elimination (managed identities and federated auth), endpoint reduction (private endpoints and brokered admin access), and platform engineering (standardized paved paths, policy-as-code, and centralized core services) to achieve consistency, reduced attack surface, and easier incident response.
