Microsoft Azure Entra and Defender identity and security

Entra provides single sign-on and identity management across Microsoft and other applications; Defender extends threat protection across both cloud and on-premises systems — both pairing directly with an existing Microsoft 365 deployment rather than requiring a separate identity system.

For businesses already using Microsoft 365, this is usually the path of least resistance to consistent identity security, since the identity foundation is already in place rather than being built from scratch.

• Single sign-on and identity management across Microsoft and other apps
• Threat protection extending across cloud and on-premises systems
• Pairs directly with existing Microsoft 365 deployments

Best for: Businesses already using Microsoft 365 wanting consistent identity security.
