Microsoft Entra Private Access provides a Zero Trust Network Access service that replaces traditional Always On VPN by offering identity-driven, application-level access controls. This model reduces broad network access, enhances security through conditional policies, and routes traffic via Microsoft's cloud-based secure client and connectors, though deployment requires careful planning around application dependencies and endpoint configurations.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You must prepare your network and endpoints now to switch from VPNs to identity-based Zero Trust access with Microsoft Entra. Traditional VPNs expose your infrastructure and grant too much access; failing to move risks security gaps and customer trust.
