What is the Microsoft Entra Suite?
The Microsoft Entra Suite is a unified, identity-centric solution designed to bridge the gap between identity and network access. It aims to replace fragmented, on-premises security tools and legacy VPNs with a cloud-based, Zero Trust framework, enhancing security and performance for a hybrid workforce.
How has Microsoft improved network performance?
Microsoft has implemented the Entra Suite, which allows employees to connect automatically to the nearest Microsoft 365 and Azure locations, significantly improving performance and reducing latency by up to 80%. This transformation has resulted in a more efficient routing of traffic and a better user experience.
What are the security benefits of the Entra Suite?
The Entra Suite enhances security by implementing identity-based, Zero Trust access controls that evaluate device health, location, and user risk before granting access to specific resources. This approach reduces the attack surface and helps prevent unauthorized access, while also simplifying access governance and incident response.
