🔐 Azure AD Integration

Secure and Centralized Authentication

The Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Integration module enables users to access CIQ ITAM using their corporate credentials from Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), delivering a unified and secure login experience.

This functionality is essential for organizations seeking centralized authentication and enhanced security. It eliminates the need for multiple logins, improves access control, and ensures that only authorized users can access the system.

Additionally, Azure AD integration supports the implementation of security policies such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and allows permission management based on groups—enhancing identity management in line with modern information security best practices.


What is Azure?

Microsoft Azure is a comprehensive cloud platform that can host your existing applications and simplify the development of new applications.

Azure can even enhance on-premises applications. It integrates the cloud services you need to develop, test, deploy, and manage your applications, all while taking advantage of cloud computing efficiencies.

With all the services that Azure offers, it can be an intimidating task to figure out which services you need to support your solution architecture.
This section highlights the Azure services typically used by developers. For a list of all Azure services, refer to the Azure Documentation.

This way, it is possible to grant access to specific users or the entire organization.
