Microsoft Entra Internet Access is a cloud-delivered solution that secures access to web content. It protects users, devices, and data from internet threats. This solution is part of Microsoft’s Security Service Edge (SSE), which also includes Microsoft Entra Private Access. This solution is based on the core principles of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), which aims to apply the principle of minimal rights, explicit verification and assumption of an attack. Microsoft Entra Internet Access implements adaptive access controls, simplifies network security, and enables a consistent user experience, regardless of location. Microsoft delivers the solution over the Microsoft Wide Area Network, which covers more than 140 countries and 190 network edge locations.

Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) manages and monitors access to Azure roles. Access to Azure resources and Microsoft online services is on-demand and time-restricted.

Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) can minimize the following risks:

- Users are better protected against accidental compromise of sensitive data. (no unnecessary privileged roles when they are not needed).
- Attackers do not get privileged access
