Microsoft Melds Identity & SSE With Entra Suite

Microsoft has commercially launched the Entra Suite, adding Azure-based SSE capabilities—including Entra Internet Access (a secure web gateway for SaaS) and Entra Private Access (a VPN replacement with attribute-based conditional access)—tightly integrated with Entra ID conditional access, identity governance, Verified ID, and identity protection. The suite aims to unify identity and network signals for perimeterless access control, with Microsoft planning third-party SSE partnerships later in the year; analysts note potential adoption advantages for Microsoft-centric organizations and concentration risk for those consolidating on a single vendor.
