Azure AD Access Reviews

Azure AD Access Reviews help you manage group memberships, access to enterprise applications, and role assignments. They enable you to ensure that only the right people have access to resources, improving security and compliance.

Azure AD Application Proxy

Azure AD Application Proxy enables secure remote access to on-premises web applications by leveraging Azure Active Directory. It provides seamless single sign-on (SSO) and conditional access policies to ensure secure and convenient access to corporate resources.

Azure AD Conditional Access

Azure AD Conditional Access is a tool used by Azure Active Directory to enforce access controls to your applications based on specific conditions. It allows you to create policies that provide a secure access environment by assessing signals such as user location, device state, and risk levels.

Azure AD Connect

Azure AD Connect is a tool that connects your on-premises directories with Azure Active Directory. It enables hybrid identity by synchronizing user accounts, groups, and other directory objects, providing a common identity for accessing both cloud and on-premises resources.

Azure AD Enterprise Application

Azure AD Enterprise Applications allow organizations to manage and integrate third-party applications and custom applications with Azure Active Directory for centralized access management, single sign-on (SSO), and enhanced security features.

Azure AD Identity Protection

Azure AD Identity Protection is a tool that helps organizations protect their user identities and mitigate identity-based risks. It leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence to detect suspicious activities and provide actionable insights to address potential security threats.

Azure AD Privileged Identity Management

Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM) helps you manage, control, and monitor access within your organization. It provides just-in-time (JIT) access to resources, ensuring that users have the necessary permissions only when needed. PIM also helps in auditing and reporting access, making it easier to comply with regulatory requirements.

Azure AD Security Defaults

Azure AD Security Defaults are preconfigured security settings in Microsoft Entra ID designed to protect organizations from identity-related attacks. They provide a basic level of security at no extra cost, making it easier for organizations to secure their environments without complex configurations.

Azure AD Smart Lockout

Azure AD Smart Lockout is a feature that helps protect user accounts from brute force attacks by locking out malicious attempts while allowing legitimate users to continue accessing their accounts. It uses machine learning to differentiate between real users and attackers, providing an additional layer of security.

Azure AD Workload ID Federation

OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a standard protocol for user authentication that is widely used in the context of internet security.

Azure Managed Identities

Azure Managed Identities provide an automatically managed identity in Azure Active Directory for applications to use when connecting to resources that support Azure AD authentication. This eliminates the need for developers to manage credentials, enhancing security and simplifying the development process.
