Adopting a Zero Trust framework with Microsoft Entra offers several benefits, including improved security through continuous risk evaluation, reduced attack surfaces, and enhanced access governance. It also allows for seamless multifactor authentication and least privilege access, which helps prevent unauthorized access and minimizes lateral threat movement.
