This is achieved through the comprehensive Identity & Access Management and Privileged Identity Management features provided by Azure Active Directory.
This integration ensures identities associated with users, computers, applications, and resources are safeguarded within a defined security boundary, providing strong protection in diverse networks and cloud environments.
