Replace your VPN - Global Secure Access in Microsoft Entra

Microsoft Mechanics Podcast

Connect users to on-premises resources while enforcing Conditional Access policies, including MFA, and eliminate the need for VPNs using Secure Access Service Edge with Microsoft Entra. Route authentication through Microsoft Entra before granting resource access, even within legacy on-premises systems. Boost performance with intelligent local access that keeps internal traffic local while routing only authentication to the cloud. Protect sensitive data from being uploaded to AI apps, and stop prompt injection attacks—without modifying your applications or AI models.

Ashish Jain, Microsoft Entra Principal GPM, shares how to strengthen your zero trust architecture while simplifying the access experience for users.
