Why Modern Attacks Ignore Geoblocking (And What Actually Works)

In this video, we take a practical look at geoblocking policies, what they are, how they work, and why organisations use them to reduce risk. We break down how location-based access controls are enforced, the common challenges they introduce, and the real-world issues that can arise when users travel, use VPNs, or work remotely.

From there, we shift focus to strengthening security through compliance and Conditional Access. You’ll see how device compliance policies can be used to ensure only trusted, managed devices can access corporate resources, and how Conditional Access can be configured to require compliant devices as part of your zero trust strategy. We also cover an often-overlooked control: limiting the number of devices users can enroll. By restricting device enrollment, you can reduce exposure, prevent unmanaged sprawl, and maintain better visibility and control across your environment. What you’ll learn:

What geoblocking is and how it works

Common pitfalls and user-impact considerations with geoblocking

Whether you’re managing Microsoft Entra ID, Intune, or a broader zero trust architecture, this video will help you balance security, usability, and control.
