Get Ready for Microsoft Entra: Hybrid and Multicloud Identity and Access Management
Your connected world is at risk from intruders, and only secure and seamless Identity and Access Management (IAM) with limitless visibility across your entire digital ecosystem.
Entra is a new product family from Microsoft that was purpose-designed to holistically secure access throughout your cloud assets.

Entra’s Hybrid and Multicloud IAM Advantages
- Lock down every app and resource you control for every user across hybrid and multicloud arrangements
- Secure and verify everyone and everything: employees, customers, partners, apps, devices, and workloads
- Discover and right-size permissions, limiting access rights only to where they are needed
- Remove friction from the security process with an improved user experience with a simple sign-in and centralized administration
Changeover Period
The roll out for Microsoft Entra is starting now. The full feature set will be available by August 2022.
The Azure AD admin center (aad.portal.azure.com) will be phased out by the end of 2023 and redirect to entra.microsoft.com. The Azure AD admin page on the M365 portal will also be redirected to Entra.
