Meet Microsoft Entra
Microsoft Entra is Microsoft’s unified family of cloud-based identity and network-access solutions. At its core is Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), the proven identity platform that authenticates billions of sign-ins every day. Surrounding it are advanced services—Verified ID, Permissions Management, External ID, Workload ID, and more—designed to secure every user, device, workload, and resource across on-prem, multicloud, and SaaS. In short, Microsoft Entra removes the complexity of identity security so your people can work anywhere, on any device, without compromise.
A robust IAM strategy anchored on Zero Trust — never trust, always verify, enforce least privilege — is no longer optional; it’s foundational for resilience and growth.
