Entra & Security

What is Entra?

Microsoft Entra, formerly known as Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), is a product family that encompasses all of Microsoft’s identity and access capabilities. It’s part of the Microsoft Security portfolio, which also includes Microsoft Purview for compliance, Microsoft Priva for privacy, Microsoft Defender for cyberthreat protection and cloud security, and Microsoft Sentinel for security.

Here are some key features of Microsoft Entra:

Unified Identity and Network Access: Microsoft Entra provides a single place to secure identities and access, making it easier to protect your digital assets.
Secure Access to Any App or Resource from Anywhere: Microsoft Entra takes advantage of adaptive identity and network access controls to secure access to any app or resource for every user or digital workload across your entire environment.
Protection and Verification of Every Identity: Microsoft Entra helps implement consistent security policies for every user—employees, frontline workers, customers, partners—as well as apps, devices, and workloads across multicloud and hybrid.
Simplified User Experience: Microsoft Entra reduces IT friction and improves the hybrid workforce experience with seamless access to any resource, single sign-on, user self-service management, and automated lifecycle workflows.
Why Microsoft Entra Matters:

In a hyperconnected world, millions of connections happen every second between people, machines, apps, and devices so that they can share and access data2. These interactions create exciting opportunities for how we engage with technology and with each other—but they also create an ever-expanding attack surface with more and more vulnerabilities for people and data that need to be addressed2. Microsoft Entra is designed to address these risks and provide secure access for our connected world.

In conclusion, Microsoft Entra is a crucial tool for organizations to manage and secure their digital estates in an increasingly complex and interconnected digital landscape. It helps provide secure access to everything for everyone, by providing identity and access management, cloud infrastructure entitlement management, and identity verification.

True cybersecurity

While Entra is a great starting point for IT security for any company, nowadays, this would represent the bare essentials. Between “man in the middle” and “brute force” attacks, the most common security exploit in any company remains the employee. As such, we at Global Prime IT are firm believers that a periodically up to date trained employee is the most effective means of avoid cyber threats.

With us you can rest assured that your team is up to date with the latest threats, methods and modern day attempts to steal your company data.
