Microsoft | Identity and Access Management

ENTRA ID

Entra ID is a SaaS-based Identity Access Management solution designed to protect enterprises against cyber attacks, providing robust security measures and advanced access controls.

Let your users access all their apps with just one identity. Entra ID supports thousands of apps, such as Office 365, Zoom, and Workday.

You can even integrate Entra ID with apps that lack any out-of-the-box with Entra ID using integration templates.

Explore, address, and oversee potential permission risks associated with any identity or resource. Provide insights into permissions for identities and resources across different cloud infrastructure solutions, such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Microsoft Entra External ID is a developer-friendly platform designed to offer customizable sign-up and sign-in experiences for end users in B2C scenarios. It also supports B2B scenarios, allowing you to invite anyone with a Microsoft account to be invited as a guest user, gaining access to your in-house resources. This enables swift collaboration with your vendors, contractors, and partners.

Ensure that the right people have the right access to the right resources by automating the identity lifecycle, assigning apps based on group membership, and removing access when an employee leaves. Conduct regular Access Reviews to allow managers to confirm their team’s access.

Built-in MFA provides an extra layer of security, further strengthened by application control policies depending on location, application, and device.

In addition, Entra ID identifies attacks already at an early stage using robust analytics and machine learning.

Get better control over your user's life cycle by integrating Entra ID with your HR application and customize provisioning to downstream apps.

Furthermore, self-service features such as password reset, group management, application requests, and application management help keep IT costs low.

Let users access their apps, whether on-premises or in the cloud, with one identity by integrating your Active Directory (single AD or forest) with Entra ID.

Gain control over user identities that require privileged access by detecting, restricting, and monitoring them. You can also enable just-in-time access to requested resources for authorized users.

Verify the identity of new users through trusted third-party identity providers such as BankID or based on documents like the user’s driver's license or passport.

MICROSOFT IDENTITY MANAGER (MIM)

Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) is an on-premises identity management platform that automates lifecycle management processes to provision user accounts to Active Directory and on-premises applications.

Integrated with Azure AD, MIM manages user access both for on-premises apps and through Azure AD also in the cloud.

The MIM portal supports delegated administration and self-service, as well as the configuration of automatic processes and configuration of other functions such as dynamic group administration.

MIM's primary function is the synchronization of identities between different directories, databases, and on-premises applications via APIs, built-in-, and third-party connectors.

Provisioning is governed by policies and workflows that automate the synchronization of identity information.

MIM can be expanded with custom-built modules for integration with on-premises applications. Modules are preferably developed in C # or ASP.NET.
