Microsoft Entra

Is a family of identity and access management products that provides secure and seamless access to any resource from anywhere.

Some of its most requested solutions and main features are the following:

• Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory): Microsoft's cloud-based identity and access management solution that helps employees and guest users securely sign in and access resources such as Microsoft applications, thousands of popular pre-integrated SaaS applications, and any custom-built on-premises or cloud web application. It offers security features such as single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, conditional access and lifecycle management to protect organizations against identity risks.
• Microsoft Entra Private Access: Allow users to access internal resources without the need for a VPN. It uses conditional access and multi-factor authentication to verify the user's identity and device status, and creates a secure session between the device and the requested resource. This reduces the surface area exposed to external attacks and improves the user experience.
• Microsoft Entra Internet Access: Allow users to access resources on the Internet with a single sign-on-like experience. It uses a cloud-based proxy to redirect user requests to public web applications, and enforces security policies based on user identity, device state and request context. This simplifies Internet access and protects user identity and data.
• Microsoft Entra Permissions Management: Allow administrators to delegate permissions management to owners or members of groups or applications. It uses a role-based portal to allow users to request, approve or deny access to resources, and provides reporting and auditing to improve visibility and compliance. This reduces the workload for administrators and empowers end users.
