Microsoft announced today that it would change the name of its Azure Active Directory enterprise identity service to Microsoft Entra ID by the end of the year.
Azure AD offers a range of security features, including single sign-on, multifactor authentication, and conditional access, with Microsoft saying it helps defend against 99.9 percent of cybersecurity attacks.
The transition from Azure AD to Microsoft Entra ID will be finalized by the end of 2023, requiring no customer action.
Today, Microsoft also announced the launch of two new services, Entra Internet Access and Entra Private Access, in public preview, designed to provide secure access to corporate resources.
"Microsoft Entra Internet Access is an identity centric Secure Web Gateway that protects access to all internet, SaaS, and Microsoft 365 apps and resources," Chik said.
You can sign-up for a preview of Entra Internet Access and Entra Private Access's upcoming capabilities today before their release scheduled for later this year.
