Updated November 10, 2023: We have updated this message to show as intended.
In 2020, we introduced security defaults in Microsoft Entra ID, which significantly raised baseline security for organizations. Now, to build on those improvements, we’re introducing Microsoft-managed Conditional Access policies. Between early November 2023 and late December 2023, we’ll create these new Conditional Access policies in your tenant: As part of ongoing efforts to improve security, we’ll create these new Microsoft managed Conditional Access policy (or policies) in your tenant.
These policies will be created in report-only mode, which means that they won’t block any access, but will generate reports on how they’ll affect users when they’re switched to the On state.
After the policies have been created in your tenant, you’ll have 90 days to evaluate and configure them. Then, if you haven’t already moved them to the On or Off state, they’ll be automatically moved to On. Once the policies are enabled, users covered by them will need to have multifactor authentication.

[When this will happen:]
We'll create new Microsoft-managed Conditional Access polies between early November 2023 and late December 2023.
