In today’s digital landscape, the security and resilience of Microsoft workloads are paramount in the face of increasing cyber threats and data management challenges. Recognizing this, Druva has introduced support for Microsoft Entra ID, a pivotal addition to our suite of advanced data protection solutions tailored specifically for the Microsoft ecosystem.
Why Microsoft Entra ID Needs Protection
Microsoft Entra ID, formerly known as Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), serves as the online version of Active Directory, facilitating access to cloud resources like Microsoft 365 and Azure. Given its role as the core identity and access management (IAM) for all Microsoft Cloud resources, safeguarding Entra ID is imperative for maintaining business continuity.
Entra ID stores crucial business information regarding users, devices, enterprise and organizational applications, including their relationships like groups, roles, and access permissions. With CrowdStrike reporting that 80% of cyberattacks exploit stolen or compromised credentials, any breach involving Entra ID objects could have serious repercussions, possibly resulting in substantial financial losses. This makes Entra ID a prime target for cyber attacks, including ransomware, as it provides an avenue for bad actors to access and extract data or introduce new administrators, potentially leading to data loss or ransom demands.
