I understand the need to protect corporate assets and resources, but this looks an awful lot like Microsoft is now marketing the great firewall of China as a "new" Entra feature. As this scales up and out, I can see this being weaponized to control the internet access of specific groups of people deemed a "threat" simply because of differing views, politics, beliefs, etc. This is quite possibly the most frightening piece of "innovation" to come from Microsoft to date.

Jul 20, 2023Microsoft Entra Internet Access is an identity-centric Secure Web Gateway (SWG) for SaaS apps and internet traffic that protects against malicious internet traffic, unsafe or non-compliant content, and other threats from the open internet. Customers have full control over what traffic is routed through the service which is designed to enable organizations to provide security controls for their users, devices and data and is an evolution of traditional on-prem security controls.
