Conditional Access

Security concepts
Conditional access is a security framework that evaluates real-time signals such as the program’s ID, its security health, location, and time, before granting or denying access.

For organizations building zero trust architectures, conditional access is no longer optional; it’s a critical security control. This is especially true if you are managing AI agents, microservices, and hybrid cloud workloads that operate across AWS, Azure, GCP, and SaaS platforms.

Client Credentials

Identity types
Client credentials are authentication tokens used by non-human entities (like applications, services, APIs, and automated scripts) to prove their identity and obtain access to protected resources. Unlike user credentials that require interactive sign in, client credentials enable crucial machine-to-machine communication without any human involvement. In OAuth 2.0, the client credentials grant type is a specific flow where a client application proves its identity directly to a server using its own credentials (usually a client ID and client secret) to receive a temporary access token.
