Summary:
The Microsoft 365 admin center will implement continuous access evaluation (CAE) in September 2024, enabling near real-time session termination or reauthentication and enforcing policy changes without waiting for token expiration. This rollout requires no admin action and offers benefits like mitigating insider threats, preventing unauthorized access, and removing user access swiftly.
Details:
We will enable continuous access evaluation (CAE) of tokens in the Microsoft 365 admin center in September 2024. This feature will proactively terminate active user or admin sessions, or require reauthentication, and enforce tenant policy changes in near real time instead of waiting for an access token to expire.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-September 2024 and expect to complete by late September 2024.
