Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a cloud-based identity and access management service provided by Microsoft. Here are some of the key features of Azure AD:
- Single Sign-On (SSO): Allows users to access multiple applications with a single set of login credentials.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Provides an additional layer of security by requiring users to provide multiple forms of authentication, such as a password and a code sent to their mobile device, to access applications.
- Conditional Access: Allows administrators to control access to applications based on specific conditions, such as the user’s location or the device they are using.
- Identity Governance: Enables administrators to manage and govern access to applications and resources through features such as access reviews and entitlement management.
- Seamless Application Integration: Allows applications to easily integrate with Azure AD using standard protocols such as OpenID Connect and OAuth.
- Customizable Branding: Allows administrators to customize the branding of the Azure AD login page to match their organization’s branding.
- Identity Protection: Helps to protect against identity-based attacks by providing insights and remediation options for suspicious activities.
These are just a few of the many features available in Azure AD that help organizations manage identities and secure access to applications and resources.
