Azure AD / Entra ID
What is Azure AD / Entra ID?
Microsoft's cloud identity service — it manages who can log in, what they can access, and enforces security policies across all your apps.
Why Azure AD / Entra ID Matters
It's the front door to your Microsoft 365 environment. Proper setup means one password for everything, automatic lockouts for stolen credentials, and instant access revocation when someone leaves.
