Microsoft Entra Suite Now Available

With Microsoft Entra, you can secure access to every online service within your organization. Whether it’s Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure, or connected third-party applications, Microsoft Entra is the central location for managing and protecting your sign-in activities.

This month, Microsoft released the Entra Suite. As a “Product Launch Partner” for three products in this Suite (Microsoft Entra Internet, Private Access, and Entra ID Governance), we’d like to explain what the Microsoft Entra Suite entails and how it can add value to your organization.

What is the Microsoft Entra Suite?

The Microsoft Entra Suite delivers the most comprehensive Zero Trust solution for user access and unifies identity and network access. This cloud-based end-to-end solution enables users to access cloud and on-premises resources within your organization with the least privileges and in a user-friendly way. By also utilizing Identity Governance processes and leveraging decentralized identities where appropriate, the Entra Suite offers top-tier security capabilities for your organization.

What products are included in the Microsoft Entra Suite?

The Microsoft Entra Suite includes the following 5 products:

• Microsoft Entra Private Access
  This Zero Trust Network Access solution provides secure access to on-premises applications and resources, simplifies complex management, and can replace older VPN solutions. InSpark is a “Product Launch Partner” for Microsoft Entra Internet & Private Access.
  
• Microsoft Entra Internet Access
  This Secure Web Gateway is a solution for SaaS applications and internet traffic, protecting your organization against malicious internet traffic and other threats originating from the internet. InSpark is a “Product Launch Partner” for Microsoft Entra Internet & Private Access. 
  
  

• Microsoft Entra ID Governance
  Microsoft Entra ID Governance is a comprehensive solution for automating your organization’s identity and access lifecycle to ensure that the right people have access to the right applications and services at the right time. 
  
  

• Microsoft Entra ID Protection
  Microsoft Entra ID Protection is an identity solution that intervenes in real time when a risk is detected. Using advanced machine learning, the threat is assessed and blocked in real time when necessary. 
  
  

What is the added value of the Microsoft Entra Suite?

By deploying the solutions within the Microsoft Entra Suite, the security posture of your environment is significantly enhanced, and the user experience is improved for both internal and external employees. This is because the Entra Suite is fully integrated into your existing Microsoft Entra environment. This reduces complexity and lowers costs, as third-party solutions and software become unnecessary. Examples include Zscaler, Palo Alto, Fortinet, SailPoint, HelloID, Savyint, and many more.

Because all Microsoft Entra Suite solutions are fully integrated within Conditional Access, management becomes simpler, ensuring that users can securely access all resources and applications within your organization. Combined with a robust Entra ID Governance framework, this always adheres to the principle of least privilege.

Microsoft Entra P1 is required to add the Microsoft Entra Suite to your organization. For organizations that already have Microsoft Entra P2, a step-up license is available.
