Simplified Zero Trust security with the Microsoft Entra Suite and unified security operations platform
If you're interested in unified, zero trust security, then Microsoft has some more good news for you. In July, Microsoft announced the general availability of the Microsoft secure access solution Entra Suite and Microsoft's cloud-native security information and event management platform, Sentinel. This article explains the benefits of these two solutions and why a zero-trust approach to security is essential.
What is the Microsoft Entra Suite?
The Microsoft Entra Suite is a comprehensive secure access solution designed to simplify the implementation of a Zero Trust security strategy. It unifies identity and network access security, allowing organizations to manage access controls for both identities and networks from a single portal. This suite helps prevent security breaches by ensuring least privilege access, automating the access lifecycle, and providing real-time risk assessments for access requests.
How does Microsoft Sentinel enhance security operations?
Microsoft Sentinel is integrated into the unified security operations platform to provide enhanced threat detection and response capabilities. It allows organizations to onboard a single workspace, streamlining investigations and reducing context switching. By combining signals from various sources, it improves the accuracy of threat detection and enables faster incident response, with an average of 50% faster correlation among data and alerts.
Why is a Zero Trust strategy important?
A Zero Trust strategy is crucial in today's environment where cyberattacks are increasingly sophisticated and prevalent. With 66% of digital attack paths involving insecure identity credentials, adopting a Zero Trust approach helps organizations protect against unauthorized access by continuously verifying every access request and enforcing least privilege access. This proactive stance reduces the attack surface and enhances overall security posture.
