• Single sign-on to any cloud and on-premises web app

  Azure Active Directory provides secure single sign-on to cloud and on-premises applications including Microsoft Office 365 and thousands of SaaS applications such as Salesforce, Workday, DocuSign, ServiceNow, and Box.

• Easily extend Active Directory to the cloud

  Connect Active Directory and other on-premises directories to Azure Active Directory in just a few clicks and maintain a consistent set of users, groups, passwords, and devices across both environments.

• Works with iOS, Mac OS X, Android and Windows devices

  Users can launch applications from a personalized web-based access panel, mobile app, Office 365, or custom company portals using their existing work credentials—and have the same experience whether they’re working on iOS, Mac OS X, Android and Windows devices.

• Protect sensitive data and applications

  Enhance application access security using rule-based Azure Multi-Factor Authentication for both on-premises and cloud applications. Protect your business with security reporting, auditing, alerting, and “shadow IT” application discovery. Take advantage of unique machine learning-based capabilities that identify potential threats.

• Protect on-premises web applications with secure remote access

  Access your on-premises web applications from everywhere and protect with multi-factor authentication, conditional access policies, and group-based access management. Users can access SaaS and on-premises web apps from the same portal.

• Reduce costs and enhance security with self-service capabilities

  Delegate important tasks such as resetting passwords and the creation and management of groups to your employees. Providing self-service application access and password management through verification steps can reduce helpdesk calls and enhance security.

• Enterprise scale and SLA

  Azure Active Directory Premium offers enterprise-grade scale and reliability. As the directory for Office 365, it already hosts hundreds of millions of users and handles billions of authentications every day. The high availability service is hosted in globally distributed datacenters in 17 regions, with worldwide technical support that provides a 99.9% SLA.

  Gain better control over the user identity lifecycle with dynamic, automated workflows. Give your employees self-service options such as resetting passwords and creating and managing groups. Make sure you’re meeting your business goals by offering monitoring and reporting in the admin portal.

• Collaborate securely with partners and customers

  Engage with users outside your organization while maintaining control over your sensitive apps and data. It’s easier than ever for customers and partners to connect with your business using a simple sign-up experience that works with multiple identity providers, including Microsoft, LinkedIn, Google, and Facebook. You can also use customization options to modify the web and mobile experience to fit your brand.

• Get seamless access to any application from virtually any location or device

  By using one identity, users can launch all of their cloud applications from a personalized, web-based access panel or mobile app and have the same experience whether they’re working on Windows, Mac, Android, or iOS devices. With the Azure AD Application Proxy, you can go beyond cloud applications and publish on-premises web applications to provide highly secure remote access and single sign-on.

• Enhance security and respond to advanced threats in real time

  Guard against unauthorized access to apps and data without compromising on productivity by using the enhanced security solutions in Azure AD, including conditional access, identity protection, and access reviews. For sensitive information and resources, Azure AD Privileged Identity Management can help you discover, monitor, and protect administrator accounts. Mitigate potential threats affecting your organization’s identities with security monitoring, alerts, and machine learning–based reports that identify inconsistent access patterns.
