This chapter covered several important topics related to IAM in the modern IT landscape. We discussed authentication and authorization, which are crucial components of any IAM solution. Then, we moved on to explore the importance of engaging and collaborating with employees, partners, and customers, as well as the role that digital identities play in this process.
We provided an overview of Azure AD, a cloud-based IAM service that enables organizations to control access to cloud applications. Finally, we discussed how Microsoft Entra’s identity-based access control can help organizations secure their cloud-based workloads by establishing definitive identities for each user and controlling access to resources.
In the next chapter, we will discuss the core IAM capabilities that can be utilized with Azure AD.
