More Than Just a Directory Service

Azure AD/Entra ID Is Not Enough

Microsoft Entra ID – still known to many as Azure Active Directory – is already in use at most companies and reliably manages user accounts, groups, and login access to M365 services. But herein lies a common misconception: a directory service alone is not yet Identity & Access Management. IAM begins where the pure administration of accounts ends – at the question of who holds which permission and why, how long it remains valid, and who reviews it regularly.

Zero Trust Instead of Perimeter Security

Endpoint Management Reimagined

For a long time, the firewall was seen as a castle wall: whoever was inside the company network was trusted – whoever was outside had to stay outside. Home office, cloud applications, and BYOD have long since made this wall porous. The classic network perimeter effectively no longer exists; the endpoint has become the new security boundary. This is exactly where Zero Trust comes in: no device, no user, and no process is automatically classified as trustworthy – every request is verified, regardless of where it comes from.
