How do you implement and manage conditional access policies in Azure Virtual Desktop?

Implementing and managing conditional access policies in Azure Virtual Desktop is primarily done through Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Conditional Access settings. This allows organizations to control who can access their virtual desktop resources based on various conditions, such as user location, device state, and risk levels.

The use of Azure AD Conditional Access provides a robust framework for securing access by enabling organizations to create and enforce policies that specify requirements for authentication. For instance, when users attempt to log in to their Azure Virtual Desktop environment, these policies can require multi-factor authentication if the login occurs from an unfamiliar location or device. This layered security approach is essential for protecting sensitive data accessed through virtual desktops.

Other choices do not directly facilitate the implementation or management of conditional access policies. Azure Networking settings pertain more to network configurations and security measures like network security groups and firewalls. The Azure Virtual Machine configuration primarily deals with the setup and management of VMs, while Azure Subscription Management focuses on billing and resource allocation, not on access policies.
