Summary

CrowdStrike's Falcon Horizon introduces new features under the Identity Analyzer umbrella to address complexities in managing identities within Microsoft Azure environments, particularly focusing on multifactor authentication (MFA), role assignments, and user consent for applications. The Identity Analyzer aims to provide enhanced visibility by unifying MFA settings and role permissions, which are often fragmented across different systems. It offers a unified dashboard for application registrations, enabling users to identify overly permissive applications and potential security risks, such as applications with multiple secrets or certificates. Additionally, the AD Users feature consolidates information on Azure AD users, including their permissions and MFA status, into a single view, utilizing "Privileged" filter checkboxes to highlight users with high-level access. These features are designed to enhance security by simplifying the management and visibility of user permissions and application settings in Azure.
