MetaDefender IT Access v3.44.0 release introduces the integration between MetaDefender IT Access and Microsoft Entra ID to bring about a comprehensive, security-first identity and access management solution.
Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory)
Microsoft Entra ID is the identity authentication component of the overarching Microsoft Entra unified identity and access management that facilitates access to corporate resources from various endpoint devices.
Microsoft Entra ID features security capabilities such as single sign-on (SSO), multifactor authentication (MFA), and conditional access to verify and authenticate users when they attempt to access digital resources. With these capabilities, users can login and access enterprise resources from a wide range of endpoints, from corporate issued to personal devices (BYOD).
Identity and Access Management, with Endpoint Deep Compliance
Microsoft Entra ID’s conditional access gathers incoming endpoint signals such as device type, operating system version, IP address, or group identity. To enhance this security feature, OPSWAT MetaDefender Access goes beyond basic checks with its time-proven, trustworthy endpoint deep compliance capability. MetaDefender Access directly integrates with Microsoft Entra ID to run deep endpoint compliance checks on crucial policies such as malware protection, encryption level, firewall, vulnerability management, and many others. Microsoft Entra ID leverages MetaDefender Access deep compliance checks to make access decisions, which can be to block or allow access, impose limits, or remediate vulnerabilities before moving on.
Safeguarding Organizations’ Assets and Resources
This integration is an optimal solution for organizations that use the Microsoft Entra suite, to streamline access to assets and applications while safeguarding from cyberthreats involving diverse endpoints. By combining MetaDefender Access’s deep endpoint compliance enforcement with Microsoft Entra ID's identity authentication features, organizations can be more confident in protecting their digital resources.
