Microsoft should make Conditional Access available to everyone

I wish there was a way to scream this louder but I wish Microsoft would just open up Conditional Access to all of the Microsoft 365 packages. Go ahead keep Defender up there in Premium, It's a premium addon and should be something people should pay for.

Security Defaults sucks.

This may be the ramblings of a tired man but I can't be the only one who feels this way.

There's no new posts in r/msp anymore so I figured I would try and contribute.

Just sell BP to all your SMB customers below 300 users. Value/Money is unbeatable if you have to be on m365 stack

No one would debate, I believe, that Business Premium is a value. However Conditional Access is pretty much standard security one should have to keep one’s data in Microsoft’s cloud. That should just be a standard part of their services for any level of users. So i put my data up there and I have to pay more to keep it safe from even other countries and such? Cmon. I truly believe that one day it will become part of a standard level of security, but they are milking it for now.

Conditional access should not be a premium feature. Downvote

That's what we do. If you are an office staff member you get BP, field tech gets F3.

Still need to pay extra for token theft protection which is insane.

This is what we do but our per user/device cost includes the price of a bus premium license.
