Question

Hotspot Question You have a Microsoft 36S tenant. You create a named location named HighRiskCountries that contains a list of high-risk countries. You need to limit the amount of time a user can stay authenticated when connecting from a high- risk country. What should you configure in a conditional access policy? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Explanation

This question tests knowledge of Conditional Access policy configuration in Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) to restrict session lifetime for users connecting from high-risk geographic locations.

Approach. To limit authentication time from high-risk countries, you configure two key areas: (1) Under 'Assignments > Conditions > Locations', select 'Include > Selected locations' and choose the 'HighRiskCountries' named location to scope the policy to those countries. (2) Under 'Session controls', configure 'Sign-in frequency' with a short time interval (e.g., 1 hour) to force re-authentication after that period. This ensures users connecting from high-risk countries must re-authenticate more frequently, reducing the window of exposure if a session is compromised. Optionally, 'Persistent browser session' can be set to 'Never persistent' to prevent browser sessions from remaining signed in.

Concept tested. Conditional Access policy configuration in Microsoft Entra ID - specifically using Named Locations as a condition and Session controls (Sign-in frequency) to enforce re-authentication limits based on geographic risk.
