Smart Lockout assists in blocking bad actors who are attempting to brute force passwords.This allows the organization to move from an Identity Management provider-which is typically an on-premises server and requires maintenance and potentially server downtime-to a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) provider.įrom a security perspective, organizations gain significant reliability advantages and improved capabilities by moving to PHS, including Smart Lockout, IP Lockout, and the ability to discover leaked credentials, as well as the benefits of utilizing Microsoft’s billions of worldwide data points as additional layers of security to your organization’s environment. The second important consideration of PHS is that, with PHS your Identity Management provider is moved from your current provider to Azure AD. Microsoft is committed to protecting your privacy, and it’s important to note that the SHA256 hash cannot be decrypted-so the plain-text version of the password is never and can never be exposed to Microsoft. Through our hands-on experiences, we’ve learned that many companies believe that Microsoft may have access to users’ passwords. Rather, it syncs the hashes of passwords, which have all undergone a per-user salt and 1,000 iterations of the HMAC-SHA256 key hashing algorithm, before being sent to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). What is PHS? First, let’s start with what it is not. As customers can gain tremendous security benefits using the full capabilities of this service, we want to demystify PHS. While responding to cybersecurity incidents around the world, DART engages with customers who are wary about using Password Hash Sync (PHS) or are not utilizing this service’s full capabilities.
