Continuous Access Evaluation (CAE) is a security feature in Microsoft Entra that enhances the resilience and security of cloud applications. It allows for the immediate revocation of access tokens if there's a change in user account status or tenant policy, without waiting for token expiration. Here are the key points about CAE:
Real-Time Policy Enforcement: CAE enables near real-time enforcement of user termination, password changes, and network location changes through critical event evaluation.
Supported Services: Initially, CAE is implemented for services like Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and Teams.
Token Lifetime: Increases token lifetime up to 28 hours, but with the capability to revoke tokens instantly based on policy evaluation or critical events.
Preparation: To prepare applications for CAE, developers should refer to the guide on using CAE-enabled APIs.
For a detailed understanding of how to implement and benefit from CAE with Microsoft Entra, you can explore the official documentation.
