What is Microsoft Entra?

Microsoft in August 2023 started to replace the name for Azure Active Directory commonly known as Azure AD into Microsoft Entra ID.

Microsoft Entra is more than just rebranding the Azure AD, it’s a new unifying brand and product family for all identity and network access solutions 

There are no changes to any Azure AD capabilitiesAPIslogin URLsPowerShell cmdletsMicrosoft authentication library (MSAL)developer experiences, or tooling, only the name is changing

Azure AD Conditional Access has become Microsoft Entra Conditional AccessAzure AD MFA has  become Microsoft Entra MFAAzure AD single sign-on has become Microsoft Entra single sign-on, and so on.

Microsoft Entra is as already mentioned a product family name for all identity and network access solutions from Microsoft.

Microsoft Entra is part of the Microsoft Security portfolio, which also includes Microsoft Purview for compliance, Microsoft Priva for privacy, Microsoft Defender for threat protection and cloud security, and Microsoft Sentinel for security information and event management (SIEM).

When Microsoft announced Microsoft Entra in May 2022, the Microsoft Entra product family consisted of Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)Microsoft Entra Permissions Management, and Microsoft Entra Verified ID.
