Microsoft Entra

What is Microsoft Entra?

Microsoft Entra is the application for Microsoft’s identity and access management platform (formerly Azure Active Directory), which helps organizations secure access to all applications and resources, regardless of location, with a focus on Zero Trust and managing digital identities for employees, customers, and partners. The platform offers a comprehensive suite of solutions for identity management, conditional access, network security (such as Entra Internet Access and Private Access), and identity governance (Entra ID Governance) to ensure a secure, consistent user experience

Microsoft Entra Features

Microsoft Entra offers a powerful set of identity and access capabilities that enable organizations to keep their digital environments secure and well-managed. Together with Azure AD / Entra ID, the platform forms the foundation for modern identity management: users gain secure and fast access to applications and data, no matter where they work. Verified ID enables the verification of digital identities in a secure and privacy-friendly manner, contributing to trust in every digital interaction.

Together, these capabilities make Entra a comprehensive, modern identity and access management solution that aligns perfectly with the Zero Trust strategy: least privilege, continuous verification, and full control over who has access to which applications and data.

Furthermore, Microsoft Entra provides secure access to applications and resources, both in the office and remotely, and seamlessly integrates identity management with broader Microsoft services. In doing so, it helps organizations secure their digital environment while simultaneously improving the user experience.
