Microsoft Entra Global Administrator with elevated access to Azure Resources

This elevation of privileges allows an attacker to gain direct and unfiltered access to sensitive Azure resources, enabling modification of storage accounts, virtual machines, or network settings, which can lead to data breaches or security incidents.

Attackers can exploit the elevated permissions to view or modify Azure resource configurations, gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data or disrupting services. This can also support later attacker activity, such as lateral movement or privilege escalation.

Cayosoft Guardian monitors role assignments and permissions in both Entra ID and Azure, alerting administrators when an unexpected change is detected, such as a user being added to the Global Admin role or having their permissions increased.

Cayosoft Guardian provides visibility into role assignments and permissions, allowing administrators to quickly identify and correct any unexpected changes, preventing attackers from gaining unauthorized access to sensitive resources. This helps support investigation and response efforts by providing a clear audit trail of changes.
