What is Azure AD (Entra), and How Does It Create Secure Cloud Environments?
Azure Active Directory (now known as Microsoft Entra ID), is an Azure service designed to consolidate Azure credentials and provide increased security for employees accessing Azure cloud-based resources through user identity services and access management controls. Azure AD provides enhanced access control by consolidating username and password credentials for many services into one Azure AD username and password.
For example, an employee looking to access several Azure services such as an Azure Instance, Azure BLOB account, and Azure DevOps account. Traditionally, this would require three unique sets of usernames and passwords to establish account credentials for these services. With Azure AD (Entra), employees will only be required to create one unique username and password that will provide access to all of the associated Azure Services.
This service greatly enhances an organization's security posture by minimizing the number of breachable exploitable username and passwords associated with unique Azure Services.
