Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) Management
Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) is Microsoft’s cloud-based identity and access management service. Organizations can use this service to securely manage users, devices, and applications.
Key Features
User and Group Management
Microsoft Entra ID enables users and groups to be created, managed, and granted permissions within an organization. Users can be granted access to various applications and services at the individual or group level.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
MFA enhances security by requiring users to log in with additional authentication methods other than their password. This is an effective defense against identity theft.
Conditional Access
Conditional access policies enhance security by defining which devices, locations, and networks users can log in from.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
SSO allows users to log in to multiple Microsoft and third-party applications with a single sign-on, simplifying password management.
Identity and Security Monitoring
With services like Microsoft Entra ID Identity Protection and Microsoft Defender for Identity, it analyzes user sign-in activity to detect anomalies and take automatic action.
Hybrid Identity and On-Premises Synchronization
With Azure AD Connect, organizations can synchronize their on-prem Active Directory with Microsoft Entra ID and create a hybrid identity model. This allows for integration of existing infrastructure with the cloud.
Microsoft Entra ID is a critical service that strengthens identity and access control for organizations. With security policies, access control, and hybrid management capabilities, enterprises can both improve user experience and ensure data security.
