Secure Access Hands-on Lab

Day 1 · Core Foundations Get Ready for AI

Welcome to the Kloudynet partner lab for the Microsoft Technical Workshop. In the next 2.5 hours you will configure and prove, with your own hands, the Zero Trust controls that make an organisation ready for AI: phishing-resistant sign-in, risk-based access, device trust, identity-centric network access with Microsoft Entra Suite, and data access that Microsoft 365 Copilot cannot bypass.

You are lab number NN. Enter it in the box above so every page shows your own account names.

How this lab works

  • You work in a shared test tenant. Every attendee has their own numbered admin and user accounts. Everything you create carries your number, so you never touch anyone else's work.
  • Your own laptop is the "untrusted device". It is not joined to the lab tenant, so it plays the role of a personal or unmanaged PC. That is intentional.
  • LAB-PC-NN is your "corporate device". It is a Windows 11 desktop in Azure, joined to the lab tenant, managed by Intune, and running the Global Secure Access client. You open it inside your browser. No software to install.
  • Two browser windows. Keep one InPrivate window signed in as the admin and a second one signed in as the user. Lab 0 sets this up.

Before you begin

  • Your credential card (lab number, tenant domain, two temporary passwords)
  • A laptop with Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome
  • A smartphone with Microsoft Authenticator installed (iOS or Android)
  • Bluetooth switched on, on the phone and the laptop (needed for passkey sign-in in Lab 2)
  • This guide open in a normal browser window, not InPrivate, so your lab number is remembered
  • About 2.5 hours and a coffee

Ground rules for a shared tenant

  • Only create, change or delete objects whose name contains your number (CA-NN-..., WCF-NN-...).
  • Never edit anything that starts with BASE-. Those are the instructor's baseline policies that all labs depend on.
  • Never assign a policy to "All users". Always target your own group Lab-Users-NN.
  • If something looks broken, ask the instructor before "fixing" it.

Expected result

Green boxes tell you exactly what you should see after a step. If you see something else, re-read the step, wait a minute, and try again in a fresh InPrivate window.

Wait for propagation

Orange boxes flag steps where Microsoft Entra needs a minute or two before a policy takes effect.

Instructor note

Blue boxes are for parts the instructor shows on the main screen.
