When developers build applications using Microsoft Authentication Libraries (MSAL) and choose modern protocols like OpenID Connect and OAuth, these applications benefit from Zero Trust controls like Conditional Access policies. We recommend that our customers authenticate users and authorize access based on all available data points. While each organization will design their own Zero Trust roll-out strategy based on their unique business needs, the most common approach is to start with a strong cloud identity. This is where developers can easily embrace Zero Trust principles across every layer – from strong authentication policies to least privileged permissions and continuous access evaluation. Zero Trust is a holistic security strategy that follows three simple principles - verify explicitly, use least privileged access, and assume breach.

Use the Zero Trust principles to build your applications. We’re continuing to invest deeply in the Microsoft identity platform to empower developers to lead this Zero Trust adoption. Many of you are getting prepared for this by embracing the Zero Trust security approach. We expect that hybrid work will be the norm and it will fundamentally change the cybersecurity landscape.

We see continued interest in the topic of remote and hybrid work - a trend that has accelerated in the last year. It’s Build week at Microsoft and it is exciting to see a wide audience, from developers to students to startups, from around the world participate in the virtual sessions at Build.
