OVERVIEW

One of the most common cyberattack vectors is compromised credentials. Malicious actors with access to AI technologies have increased the sophistication and effectiveness of their attacks. Preventing credential theft is critical. As of September 30, 2025, authentication methods can’t be managed with Microsoft’s legacy MFA and SSPR policies.

Microsoft Entra ID is a cloud identity and access management solution that safeguards your identities and network access. It allows organizations to adopt a Zero Trust security approach by verifying identities, validating access conditions, checking permissions, encrypting communication channels, and monitoring for breaches.

Our Modernize Identities implementation provides a review of your current identity security configurations, migrates them to the newest authentication methods portal, configures Privileged Identity Management (PIM), access reviews, protects against user and sign-in risk, and introduces newer technologies to strengthen your security posture. This implementation includes configurations included with Entra ID Plans 1 and 2.
