Building Entra's CA AI Agent: A Creator's Perspective

In this episode, I sit down with Jordan Dahl, a Product Manager on the Entra Conditional Access team, to discuss the newly GA'd Conditional Access Optimization Agent. Jordan shares the origin story of the agent, explaining how customer feedback about the difficulties of managing CA policies at scale led to its creation. We delve into how this AI-powered "digital colleague" works to identify and remediate security gaps, its future roadmap including Service Now integration and phased rollouts, and how you can get started with it in your own tenant.Subscribe with your favorite podcast player or watch on YouTube 👇About JordanJordan is a Product Manager on the Entra Conditional Access team at Microsoft.
