Microsoft Entra is a family of identity and network access products designed to help organizations implement a Zero Trust security strategy. It creates a trust fabric that verifies identities, validates access conditions, checks permissions, encrypts connection channels, and monitors for compromise. The product family supports secure end-to-end access for employees, customers, partners, and various cloud environments.

The Microsoft Entra family includes several key components: Microsoft Entra ID, which is the foundational identity and access management service; Microsoft Entra Domain Services for managed domain services; Microsoft Entra Private Access for secure access to private apps; Microsoft Entra Internet Access for securing internet resources; and Microsoft Entra ID Governance for managing identity and permissions. Additionally, it features Microsoft Entra Verified ID for credential verification and Microsoft Entra External ID for managing external identities.

Organizations can manage their Microsoft Entra deployment using the Microsoft Entra admin center, a web-based portal that provides a unified interface for configuration and management. Additionally, the Microsoft Graph API allows for automation of administrative tasks, such as license deployments and user lifecycle management. Developers can also utilize the Microsoft identity platform to build authentication experiences across various applications.
