Description

An identity removed a Conditional Access policy.

Attacker's Goals

  • An attacker attempts to change Active Directory configuration for persistence or defense evasion.

Investigative actions

  • Check implications of the policy being removed.
  • Check whether the user changing the configuration is permitted to perform such actions.
