🥳 🎉 Folks, @fabian_bader, @thomasnaunheim & I are excited to launch Maester today after working on this over many long nights & weekends!

Maester is an open source, test framework that you can set up in minutes to test & continuously monitor your Microsoft security config

🧵⬇️

@fabian_bader @thomasnaunheim With Maester you can write tests that encode your organization's business and security policies.

Apply modern DevSecOps practices and continously monitor critical aspects of your Microsoft cloud.

Here's an example of a custom test that you can write.

@fabian_bader @thomasnaunheim Using the brand new conditional access what-if API you can now write regression tests for your conditional access policies.

Run tens of hundreds of regression tests on your policies and ensure your are not introducing loopholes as your org's policies evolve over time.

@fabian_bader @thomasnaunheim We integrated the awesome Entra ID Security Config Analyzer built by
@samilamppu & @thomasnaunheim

Now you can run the config tests in minutes right from your desktop!

@fabian_bader @thomasnaunheim @samilamppu Test details include direct links to the Microsoft admin portals.

This way you can jump straight to the specific conditional access policy that needs to be fixed or the group that needs to be reviewed.
