Chapter 1

Microsoft Entra Security

Today, you will hear security practitioners utter the aphorism, “identity is the new control plane.” This means the identity used to interact with the resource you are trying to protect might be a better guide to whether an interaction with a resource is trustworthy than the traditional method of using network location or traffic properties. This is especially true if those identities are hardened with technologies such as multifactor authentication. In this chapter, you’ll learn about managing identities in the cloud and securing access to resources and applications in the cloud.
