Book DescriptionModern identity management is complex. Organizations must enforce Zero Trust, protect privileged access, secure external collaboration, and manage hybrid environments without increasing risk. Mastering Microsoft Entra ID provides a structured, end-to-end journey to help you design, secure, and govern enterprise identity with confidence. You will begin by building a strong foundation in identity architecture and core capabilities, learning how to deploy tenants, manage users and groups, configure authentication, and implement Conditional Access.
