A zero-day RCE in Entra ID with a CVSS score of 10.0, already exploited before disclosure, changes the conversation.
Entra ID is no longer optional infrastructure. It sits at the center of access for most enterprises, and when a flaw like this surfaces the blast radius is immediate.
The market still underestimates how tightly AD, Entra ID, and backup storage have collapsed into a single executive problem. The metric that now matters is measured in hours, not days: how quickly identity access can be restored after an attack.
The organizations that treat recovery speed as a first-class KPI will pull ahead of those still running separate AD and cloud identity playbooks.
