Phase I — Implement free Microsoft IAM Services for Cloud-only Identities
1 min read
Summary
Microsoft has created a new offering to help small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) implement identity and access management (IAM) protocols for cloud-based identities cost-effectively.
The solution aims to help SMBs to securely verify and authorise access to data, applications, and other resources in the public cloud.
While IAM is seen as a cornerstone of cloud security, existing systems often lack advanced cloud-based security and are expensive to implement and maintain.
Microsoft’s IAM solution is free to use and available to all businesses exploring Azure identities.
The offering helps to securely connect employees, customers, and partners to Azure workloads and other resources, with conditional access and multi-factor authentication.
Microsoft has recently published a comprehensive guide to getting started with its IAM services to help users navigate the solution.
