Key Features for Your Customers
Single Sign-On (SSO)Enable seamless access to thousands of pre-integrated SaaS applications, including Microsoft 365, using a single set of credentials. 
Multifactor Authentication (MFA)Add an extra layer of security by requiring multiple forms of verification before granting access to resources. 
Conditional AccessDefine policies that control access based on user location, device compliance, risk level, and more. This ensures only authorized users can access sensitive data under specific conditions. Conditional Access provides granular control over access, enabling policies to be set based on user location, device compliance, and risk level. These policies can trigger actions like MFA prompts, ensuring only authorized individuals gain access. 
Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR)Empower users to reset their own passwords without IT support, reducing helpdesk calls and improving productivity. Users pre-register authentication methods (e.g., phone, security questions) and can reset passwords via a secure portal. This integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 for a smooth experience. 
Group ManagementStreamline user and group management with dynamic groups, naming policies, and expiration settings. 
Application ProxyProvide secure remote access to on-premises web applications without the need for a VPN.
Password ProtectionEnforce strong password policies and block weak or compromised passwords. Support passwordless methods like biometrics or PINs. Reduce the risk of account breaches with customizable policies.

Cost Efficiency: The comprehensive security features offered by Entra ID Plan 1 reduce the need for third-party security solutions, resulting in cost savings and simplified management.
