In the new version of Visual Guard, we are introducing Azure Entra as an advanced feature to enhance identity and access management. Azure Entra is Microsoft’s unified identity and access platform, designed to protect identities and ensure secure access to resources.

Benefits of Azure Entra Integration:

  • Enhanced Security: Leveraging Azure Entra’s robust security features ensures that only authenticated and authorized users can access sensitive applications.
  • Improved User Experience: The integration of SSO and seamless MFA provides a frictionless experience for users while maintaining high security standards.
  • Scalability and Flexibility: Organizations can scale identity management effortlessly, catering to both on-premises and cloud-based applications.
  • Advanced Access Control: With conditional access, organizations can tailor security policies based on real-time risk assessments.

Key Aspects of Azure Entra Integration:

  1. Seamless Integration with Visual Guard: Azure Entra allows for streamlined user authentication by integrating with Visual Guard, enhancing the way applications authenticate and authorize users.
  2. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Azure Entra brings enhanced Visual Guard MFA capabilities, adding an extra layer of security with identity verification methods like TOTP, and OTP.
  3. Conditional Access: It supports advanced access controls based on user risk, device state, and session context, providing administrators with better control over access policies.
  4. Single Sign-On (SSO): Users can now access multiple applications within the Visual Guard ecosystem with a single set of credentials, simplifying the user experience and reducing password fatigue.
  5. Compliance and Governance: With Azure Entra, Visual Guard can better support compliance with security regulations through detailed auditing and reporting tools.
