OVERVIEW

Connect to your apps

  • Establishing identity management in the cloud is your first step. Microsoft Entra ID lets you manage authentication across devices, cloud apps, and on-premises apps. With single sign-on, your employees can access resources from any device while working remotely.
  • Your business-critical apps may not be set up for access from outside the corporate network. Use Microsoft Entra ID application proxy, a lightweight agent, to enable access to your on-premises apps without opening up broad access to your network. Combine it with existing Microsoft Entra authentication and Microsoft Entra conditional access policies to help keep users and data secured.

  • Partnering with other organizations becomes more challenging without in-person meetings. Create and maintain relationships no matter where you are by removing barriers to remote interaction. Grant access to the right apps with a single sign-on experience. Ensure appropriate access to your organization’s resources anytime, anywhere, by applying a greater level of security and governance for partners.

Protect access from anywhere

Multifactor authentication (MFA) is the best way to secure remote work. When hardware security devices aren't available, use biometrics or apps like Microsoft Authenticator as the second factor.
