Identity & access security

Protect the accounts attackers target first.

Most attacks begin with a stolen password or an approved sign-in prompt. Microsoft Entra lets you verify every sign-in, limit administrator power and remove access the moment it is no longer needed.

Overview

Identity is the new perimeter.

Your staff work from offices, homes and phones. Applications live in the cloud. The one thing every access request has in common is an identity — and attackers know it.

We design identity controls that are strong where risk is high and simple where it is not, so security improves without making everyday work harder.

  • Fewer account takeovers from stolen passwords
  • No standing global administrator access
  • Simpler, faster sign-in for legitimate users
  • Evidence of access control for insurers and auditors

Capability map

From Microsoft capability to business outcome.

Each row connects a Microsoft capability to the problem it solves, the Simba Cyber service that delivers it and the licensing it depends on.

Microsoft Entra ID

Cloud identity, authentication and single sign-on.

Microsoft Entra ID: capabilities mapped to business problems, Simba Cyber services, outcomes and licensing
CapabilityProblem it addressesSimba Cyber serviceBusiness outcomeLicensing dependency
Multifactor & passwordless authentication Stolen passwords used to sign in Managed Microsoft 365 Sign-ins that require more than a password MFA available in all plans; phishing-resistant methods recommended for administrators
Conditional Access Same access rules for every user, device and location Managed Microsoft 365 Access decisions based on user, device and risk Entra ID P1 (included in Business Premium and E3)
Single sign-on Separate passwords for every SaaS application Cloud & Security Engineering One protected sign-in for business apps Included; some provisioning features need P1
External identities Unmanaged guest accounts from clients and partners Managed Microsoft 365 Guest access that expires and is reviewed Pricing for external users is based on monthly active users

Entra ID Protection

Risk-based detection of compromised users and sign-ins.

Privileged Identity Management & Identity Governance

Just-in-time administrator access and access lifecycle control.

Licensing disclosure

Licensing and availability

Feature availability depends on your Microsoft subscription, product plan and any add-on licenses.

Some capabilities require tenant eligibility, specific configuration or supported deployment environments.

Several services, including Microsoft Sentinel, Defender for Cloud plans and Copilot Studio, include consumption-based charges billed by Microsoft.

Preview features can change and are not recommended for production use without review. We identify preview status in our recommendations.

We do not publish Microsoft prices. Licenses are purchased from Microsoft or your licensing provider, and we confirm current entitlements before proposing implementation.

Questions

Common questions

We already have MFA. Is that enough?

MFA is essential, but attackers now bypass weaker methods through phishing proxies and repeated push prompts. Conditional Access, number matching and phishing-resistant methods for administrators close many of those gaps.

What is Conditional Access?

Conditional Access evaluates each sign-in — who the user is, which device they use, where they are and how risky the session looks — and then allows, blocks or requires additional verification.

Do you support hybrid Active Directory?

Yes. Many organizations still synchronize on-premises Active Directory with Entra ID. We secure both sides and help plan a move to cloud-only identity where it makes sense.
