How strong identity management provides a foundation for 'Zero Trust' security
Introduction
Strong identity is one of the foundational pillars of Microsoft's
Zero Trust security model, which provides a framework for moving
from access control based on implicit trust assumptions to an
approach that requires real-time verification of all users, devices,
locations, and other signals.
Microsoft 365 E5, which includes Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), is
best equipped to deliver a strong identity-management
foundation for Zero Trust security.
The ability to connect all cloud and legacy
applications to one identity solution helps
nonprofits gain end-to-end visibility of
their digital presence–a critical step in
securing the attack surface.
