MicrosoftExcellent, but Entra should be more like Identity Gateway as I described for the identity team before Entra, when I wanted them to merge B2B and B2C. Then we could have Zero Trust everywhere, when I worked at OpenHorizon I also showed how agents could keep up todate graphs and rebuild the essentials graphs everywhere dynamically, this is the an evolution of turtles everywhere and sovereignty: airgap’ed not always but when needed and as long as it takes. This is also where continuity is and essential part; love to discuss it but it goes further than “inner circle of trust” and “3-2-1-0-0-0” I did show to my friends in CommVault, GitHub and Microsoft (

Excellent. But I believe Entra can evolve into something much bigger: an Identity Gateway for the distributed enterprise. This goes back to the discussions I had with my friends in the Identity team, even before Entra, when I advocated bringing B2B and B2C together. The ambition was already larger than identity management itself: Zero Trust everywhere, with identity and trust following users, workloads, services and machines across every environment. @OpenHorizon, I extended the same principle to agents and graphs: agents continuously keeping the knowledge and dependency graphs current, while being able to dynamically reconstruct the essential graphs wherever they are required. Think of it as the next evolution of “turtles everywhere”: identity, trust, context, policy and intelligence distributed across every layer, while remaining capable of rebuilding the essential operating model locally. That is also where sovereignty becomes an architectural capability rather than a political slogan. You do not need to disconnect everything permanently. You need the ability to operate independently when circumstances demand it. Connected by default. Zero Trust everywhere. Sovereign when required. Air-gapped when necessary, for as long as it takes.
