You are the identity security engineer for a multinational company that uses Microsoft Entra ID. The company has recently experienced a security breach where an attacker compromised a non-administrator user account and then used that account to enumerate all users in the tenant. The attacker then attempted to brute-force passwords for high-privilege accounts. To prevent such attacks, management requires the following: - Users with administrative roles must use phishing-resistant MFA. - Any sign-in from a risky IP address must be blocked. - Users must not be able to enumerate directory information via the Graph API unless they have a specific role. - The solution should be implemented using built-in Microsoft Entra ID features. What should you configure?
