Microsoft Entra
Microsoft Entra represents a comprehensive approach to secure identity and access management, introduced by Microsoft to provide robust security solutions for a connected world. It's designed to safeguard any identity and secure access to any resource across multicloud environments, offering unified identity and network access management. The launch of Microsoft Entra highlights Microsoft's commitment to simplifying and securing access experiences across the digital landscape, with a focus on adaptive identity and network access controls, right-sizing permissions, and simplifying the user experience through seamless access and automated workflows.

Introduced on May 31, 2022, Microsoft Entra consolidates Microsoft's identity and access management strategy into a single, integrated “identity trust fabric.” This rebranding underscores the emphasis on a Zero Trust security approach and multicloud environments, ensuring that all types of identities are verified while securing, managing, and governing their access to resources. The product family includes Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory), Microsoft Entra Permissions Management, and Microsoft Entra Verified ID, each serving a unique role in providing comprehensive identity solutions. For a detailed overview, check out: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/security-compliance-and-identity/introducing-microsoft-entra-modern-identity-and-access-solutions/ba-p/3285796.
Microsoft Entra ID continues to be the foundation of identity access management, leveraging over 30 billion daily authentications to manage and protect users, apps, workloads, and devices. Microsoft Entra Permissions Management, previously known as CloudKnox Permissions Management, introduces a Cloud Identity Entitlement Management (CIEM) solution for multicloud environments. Microsoft Entra Verified ID explores decentralized identity solutions, offering secure, privacy-respecting interactions based on open standards.

The introduction of Microsoft Entra marks a significant step forward in Microsoft's vision for secure access and identity management, aligning with the Zero Trust framework to protect cloud resources under a single control plane. It reflects Microsoft's ongoing efforts to advance security, compliance, and identity innovations to meet the challenges of a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
- Snippet from Wikipedia: Microsoft Entra ID
Microsoft Entra ID (formerly known as Microsoft Azure Active Directory or Azure AD) is a cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) solution. It is a directory and identity management service that operates in the cloud and offers authentication and authorization services to various Microsoft services, such as Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Microsoft Azure and third-party services. Entra ID provides users with single sign-on experience, called "work or school accounts", regardless of whether their applications are cloud-based or on-premises.
Entra ID offers various authentication methods, including password-based, multi-factor, smart card, and certificate-based authentication. It also includes several security features, such as conditional access policies, risk-based authentication, and identity protection.
On July 11, 2023, Microsoft announced the renaming of Azure AD to Microsoft Entra ID to improve consistency with other Microsoft cloud products. The name change took place on July 15, 2023.
