Secure access to SaaS and
on-premises apps
Organizations need to enable people to access resources
securely without impacting their productivity. Having multiple
usernames and passwords for different apps and services is a
security risk, especially when you don't control access to the app
(such as with third-party SaaS apps).
By connecting the sign-in experience for all your apps (on-
premises, cloud, and third-party SaaS apps) from any device and
managing user directories together, you gain better control and
visibility, and simplify the experience for users. You can reduce
the risk posed by multiple credentials for outside apps if they are
connected to a single sign-on process. In addition to Microsoft
services (Office 365, Azure, Dynamics), Azure AD has an app
gallery of thousands of pre-integrated third-party SaaS apps
to simplify single sign-on for your users. Plus, you can add your
own custom applications easily in the portal.
