(353 Ratings) Write Review

What is Azure AD and how does it work? Azure AD is an identity and access management solution from Microsoft, offering active protection from 99.9% cybersecurity attacks. The software offers single sign-on and conditional access rights, besides multiple developer tools. Thus making it easy for enterprises to integrate identity within their services and apps. Organisations can automate their individual workflows for user lifecycle and provisioning. Its self-service feature facilitates productivity within the on-site workers irrespective of their actual location. Azure AD facilitates cross-organisational collaboration, enabling vendors partners and contractors, get access to in-house resources in a hassle-free manner. Organisations can keep track of their AzureAD connect sync engine using the Connect Health monitor technology offered by the software. Automated policies and meaningful detailed insights offered by Azure AD ensure proper detection of malicious threats before they get to cause any potential damage. Its multi-factor authentication mechanism enables additional security layers, ensuring better protection.
