Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is Microsoft's cloud-based identity and access management service. It helps protect your organization's resources by providing a central point for managing user identities, access to applications, and security policies.

Key Features and Capabilities

Identity and Access Management

Securely manage user identities, enabling single sign-on (SSO) to thousands of SaaS applications and on-premises applications. Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) for enhanced security.

Application Management

Easily integrate and manage access to a vast catalog of pre-integrated applications, or custom line-of-business applications. Configure application access policies based on user groups and roles.

Security and Threat Protection

Leverage advanced security features like Identity Protection, Conditional Access, and Privileged Identity Management (PIM) to detect and respond to threats, enforce granular access policies, and manage privileged roles.

Device Management

Manage and secure devices used by your employees, whether they are corporate-owned or bring-your-own-device (BYOD). Ensure compliance with organizational policies.
