Entra ID - Security Config Analyzer Tests

Overview

The tests in this section are based on the Entra ID Attack and Defense Playbook specifically the Entra ID Security Config Analyzer (EIDSCA).

These tests verify if mitigations are in place to protect from various common attack scenarios on Microsoft Entra. Each test in EIDSCA is mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
