Entra 🆔 News #137 → This week in Microsoft Entra
Learn about Securing Entra ID Administration: Tier 0, AI with Zero Trust Security and more!
👋 Hi, Merill and Joshua here with this week’s roundup of the latest news in Microsoft Entra from around the globe 🌍
This edition is coming to you from Copenhagen, Denmark 🇩🇰 where I’m spending the week at Experts Live Denmark. I’m looking forward to catching up with the incredible Entra community here and hearing how organizations across the region are approaching identity and device modernization.
In this week’s Entra Chat, I sat down with Michael and Prem to unpack how large enterprises are moving to cloud-native devices using Entra Join and Intune and what it really takes to make that transition successful at scale.
Enjoy!
