Microsoft Entra Services

As more services move to the cloud, users and workloads continue to accumulate permissions over time. More identities and resources to manage, paired with inconsistent access management models across different public clouds, create increased complexity and a lack of visibility for IT and security teams. Left unused and unmonitored, these permissions become prime targets for attackers or risk areas for human error.

Microsoft Entra Permissions Management has one mission; to provide a single platform to manage permissions for any identity or resource – users and workloads – across Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Entra Permissions Management continuously monitors activity and behaviour to identify and assess risks and provide visibility.

What Our Microsoft Entra Services Do

Get full visibility

Discover what resources every identity is accessing across all your public cloud platforms.

Automate the principle of least privilege

Use usage analytics to ensure identities have the right permissions at the right time.

Unify cloud access policies

When utilised properly, Entra allows users to unify cloud access policies with ease.

Cloud Infrastructure Security Policies

Implement consistent security policies across your cloud infrastructure.

  • Protect access to any app or resource. Safeguard your organisation by protecting access to every app and every resource for every user.
  • Secure and verify every identity. Secure every identity including employees, customers, partners, apps, devices, and workloads across every environment.
  • Provide only the access necessary. Discover and right-size permissions, manage access lifecycles, and ensure least privilege access for any identity.

What Are Microsoft Entra Services?

Microsoft Entra is a Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) software, used to manage users permissions to access cloud resources across an organisation. With the use of Microsoft Entra, you can securely and remotely sign in and access cloud resources.

What is the Difference Between Azure AD and Entra?

Azure AD, or Azure Active Directory, is a cloud-based identity and access management solution. Microsoft Entra however, is a hybrid IAM solution that caters to the organisational needs of more complex identity management requirements.

CWSI Entra Delivery

Step 1 – Engage. CWSI will establish and configure your trial instance. Once the ID is verified on your Microsoft Entra ID tenant, Entra Permissions Management will start to gather credentials and environment details to set up and run your sample application. Within a few hours of onboarding, Entra Permissions Management will generate a comprehensive Permissions Analytics Report to identify your organisation’s areas of greatest risk, with actionable insights to begin remediation and secure your environment.

Step 2 – Review. From the data gathered, CWSI will generate reports through the system and provide an initial review of the findings. From the review, we will build a plan to lead the next steps. Elements such as Internal Risk, Partner Access, Machine ID and Keys are reviewed. A target security score is assigned, with projects identified to achieve this. Each customer’s plan is unique to their environment.

Step 3 – Support. Once the priority risks have been mitigated, CWSI will help you create a plan to bring a more structured administration program into production as part of a DevSecOps approach. Typically, we will provide a continued escalation and planning program to ensure long term compliance.
