Microsoft have added 2 new products to their Entra family:

  • Microsoft Entra Internet Access
  • Microsoft Entra Private Access

Both are focused on security and protecting access to apps over the internet.

Microsoft Entra Internet Access

An identity-centric Secure Web Gateway that protects access to internet, SaaS, and Microsoft 365 apps and resources. It extends Conditional Access policies with network conditions to protect against malicious internet traffic and other threats from the open internet.

Microsoft Entra Private Access

An identity-centric Zero Trust Network Access that secures access to private apps and resources. It reduces operational complexity and cost by replacing legacy VPNs and offers more granular security. You can apply Conditional Access to individual applications, and enforce multifactor authentication, device compliance, and other controls to any legacy application without changing those applications

These 2 products, plus Defender for Cloud Apps, form what Microsoft call their Security Service Edge (SSE) solution:
