As you all know, cyber threats are very high nowadays and happen in all <strong>organizational </strong>areas. In this case, it may have a lot of <strong>concern </strong>for the employee’s access.</p>
<p>The <strong>security </strong>measures we used for long time are <strong>not applicable</strong> sometimes. In this situation, Microsoft recently mentioned the new <strong>Executive View </strong>report on the Microsoft Entra Suite. The <strong>KuppingerCole </strong>Executive View <strong>report </strong>provides a detailed explanation for safely managing<strong> employees’ access </strong>to Cyber threats.</p>
<p>We know that <strong>MS Entra </strong>is one platform to protect employee’s access. The<strong> KuppingerCole Executive View report </strong>offers a complete<strong> <a href="https://www.anoopcnair.com/entra-phishing-resistant-passwordless-authenti/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Zero Trust </a></strong>access solution.
