I recently gave the team at Microsoft Mechanics a detailed tour of Microsoft Entra, and they were super excited about the breadth and power of the whole product family, especially the solutions for unified identity management across non-Microsoft services and apps.
As a result, we decided to create this video that highlights the capabilities across Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), My Apps, Identity Governance, Verified ID, Workload Identities, and Permissions Management.
Whether you’re new to securing access and identities for your organization, or an experienced admin of Azure AD, I’m hoping this inside look at Microsoft Entra inspires you to be more effective in protecting your people and data.
