Microsoft Entra Private Access modernizes how users access private apps and resources 🔐. Now, it closes a long-standing gap by extending Zero Trust principles to on-premises environments.

This breakthrough redefines hybrid security by finally enabling Conditional Access policies for on-premises applications that use Kerberos authentication with domain controllers. It delivers layered protection by validating CA policies through Global Secure Access clients and Private Access sensor 🚨.

Here’s Why This Is a Big Deal

  • Secure on-prem access without relying on traditional VPNs
  • Apply per-resource security instead of limiting controls to initial login
  • Block lateral movement with access control at the domain controller level
  • Fine-tune user access using device-based exclusions and inclusions

If your infrastructure still relies on on-premises AD, this is your signal to modernize and evolve your security perimeter around identity.
