Identity management with Azure Active Directory

• #10: Mobility tools are often point solutions that address specific security needs, but even multiple point solutions are still disconnected from one another, leaving cracks. Microsoft believes you should have an integrated mobility solution that provides security across multiple layers. You should have a comprehensive set of tolls that use identity as a control plane, provide the visibility and insights required to quickly pinpoint and resolve issues or threats, and simplify mobile device and application management. Identity-driven security. Microsoft simplifies identity management by creating a single set of credentials for each worker, making it easier for IT to apply identity-based security measures, including conditional access policies and multi-factor authentication. Identity based security reporting, auditing, and alerting offer greater visibility so you can spot potential issues. 200+ days. That’s the average amount of time that attackers reside within your network until they are detected, gathering classified data and information, waiting to strike at just the right moment. Microsoft helps you identify breaches and threats using behavioral analysis and provides a clear, actionable report on a simple attack timeline. Managed mobile productivity. Encourage your workers to use secure applications for work — even on personal devices — by providing the Office tools they know and love. Management capabilities built into Office make it easier for IT to protect company information. Conditional access policies restrict actions such as copy, paste, edit, and save —ensuring that workers only access corporate files through approved, managed apps and not personal workarounds where information can be corrupted or leaked. Nobody manages Office better than Microsoft. Sharing is a mainstay of collaboration for the mobile workforce, but poses a serious challenge to security. Microsoft gives you another integrated approach to information protection with a layer of security at the file level. Encryption, rights management, and authorization policies can be applied to any file type and remain with the data, wherever it goes and even in motion. Only authorized users can access protected files, and only on the sender’s terms. Comprehensive Solution: Meet new business challenges with the flexibility of a cloud-first mobility solution. Microsoft cloud services are designed to work seamlessly with your on-premises infrastructure and existing investments. Stay ahead of your BYOD workers with rapid release cycles to support the latest devices and apps. Scale quickly to onboard new hires, devices, apps, and more. It’s fast, it’s cost-effective, and it’s always up-to-date. Manage across multiple OS types (iOS, Android, Windows) and thousands of cloud apps.
• #13: Microsoft has a solution for this [Click] Traditional identity and access management solutions providing sing-sign on to on-premises applications and directory services such as Active Directory and others are used from the vast majority of organizations and huge investments were made to deploy and maintain them. These solutions are perfect for the on-premises world. [Click] Now, as we have discussed, there are new pressing requirements to provide the same experience to cloud applications hosted in any public cloud. [Click] Azure Active Directory can be the solution to this new challenge by extending the reach of on-premises identities to the cloud in a secure and efficient way. [Click] In order to do that, one simple connection is needed from on-premises directories to Azure AD. [Click] and everything else will be handled by Azure AD. Secure single sign-on to thousands of SaaS applications hosted in any cloud by using the same credentials that exist on-premises [Click] And we don’t forget the users. Azure AD provides Self-service capabilities and easy access to all the application, consumer or business, they need. in the cloud but on-premises too (Application Proxy)
