Microsoft’s recent move to dial up emphasis on identity management through the launch of Entra ID reinforces heightened awareness on cyber security challenges, and the rapid pace of change occurring across the Modern Workplace landscape. In case you missed it, Microsoft announced that Azure AD would become Entra ID with a bunch of new features. Microsoft Entra will verify all types of identities and secure, manage, and govern their access to any resource.
In summary, the new Microsoft Entra product family will:
- Protect access to any app or resource for any user.
- Secure and verify every identity across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
- Discover and govern permissions in multi-cloud environments.
- Simplify the user experience with real-time intelligent access decisions.
