Azure AD

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a cloud-based identity and access management service. This service helps your employees access external resources, such as Microsoft 365, the Azure portal, and thousands of other SaaS applications. Azure Active Directory also helps them access internal resources like apps on your corporate intranet network, along with any cloud apps developed for your own organization.

  1. Azure AD

  2. Azure AD P1 is a famous cloud-based directory and identity management service, developed by Microsoft. While it is essentially based on Active Directory, Microsoft’s on-premises identity management solution, Azure AD provides several additional features and benefits, which we will cover in this article. To summarize, Azure AD is cost-effective, easy to use, and can be integrated into a wide range of platforms and applications, both on-premise and ‘in the in-the- cloud. It provides a Single Sign-On feature, which includes multi-factor authentication and self-service password management. It also provides several additional protection features, including security monitoring and alerting, and can be configured to detect anomalous login attempts.

  3. Benefits of Using Azure AD

  4. High Availability Microsoft guarantees 99.99% availability. All data is first written to the Active Primary partition, and then copied to the Passive Primary, and then to the Secondary Replica partitions, from which data is read. In total, MS has 28 data centers spread across multiple geographic regions.

  5. Strong Azure AD Security As you would expect, Microsoft takes security extremely seriously. Azure AD has several security features, which include Multi Factor Authentication, Conditional Access, and Privileged Identity Management, to name a few.

  6. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in Azure AD Microsoft 365 MFA provides an extra layer of security to accounts by requesting an additional form of verification. Azure AD delivers the following MFA verification methods: Microsoft Authenticator app OATH Hardware token OATH Software token SMS Voice call

  7. Conditional Access You can set up Conditional Access policies to confirm that users are only granted access to the data they need to perform their role. These policies are if-then statements, which can check for a wide range of signals, including user or group membership, IP location, devices and applications used, and more. It is even possible for admins to set up a ‘Dynamic Group’, where group members will automatically adjust based on certain attributes, such as employee type, location, department, and more.

  8. Privileged Identity Management in Azure AD Azure AD PIM allows fine- grained control over privileged accounts and resources. This feature also provides an audit trail that will help administrators identify suspicious privileged account activity.

  9. Conclusion A dedicated third-party solution like Apps4Rent will provide data discovery and classification, inactive user account management, real-time alerts to your inbox or mobile device, and more. They even have expertise in providing notch-level Azure Server Hosting Services and support to their clients, which makes them ideal partners to select for the service.
