Microsoft + Creto

Unified Identity & Access Across the Microsoft Ecosystem

From Azure Active Directory to Microsoft Entra, Creto helps enterprises maximize the security and operational potential of their Microsoft identity stack—seamlessly integrating policy, access governance, and threat protection under one strategy.

The Challenge

While Microsoft offers powerful identity tools, enterprises often struggle to:

Fragmented identity experiences across Entra, AD, and third-party apps
Limited contextual policy enforcement beyond Microsoft 365
Gaps in threat detection and lateral movement inside the identity layer
Difficulty aligning with compliance frameworks across multiple geos

The Solution: Extend & Secure Microsoft Identity with Creto

Creto complements Microsoft’s native stack by layering zero trust, contextual access, and deep risk analytics across your infrastructure:

What you get with Creto + Microsoft:

Adaptive access policies across hybrid AD & cloud apps
Unified audit trail for all user, device, and privilege activity
Identity-based threat signals integrated with Microsoft Defender
Streamlined provisioning/deprovisioning with Entra workflows
Compliance-ready posture for GDPR, ISO, HIPAA, NIST

One multinational manufacturer used Creto + Microsoft to roll out a global zero-trust model—spanning 11,000+ employees and 50+ cloud apps—without overhauling their existing Azure AD infrastructure.

Where Microsoft Meets Creto

Maximize the impact of your Microsoft security stack by integrating it with Creto’s intelligent identity orchestration. From hybrid environments to modern collaboration tools, Creto strengthens and extends your Microsoft ecosystem across every user touchpoint.

1

Integrating third-party apps with Entra policies & MFA

Extend Microsoft Entra’s security policies—including multifactor authentication—to non-Microsoft and legacy applications, ensuring consistent protection across your digital ecosystem.

2

Managing guest access securely in Microsoft Teams/SharePoint

Gain granular control over external users by applying context-aware rules and expiration-based access to collaboration tools like Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive.

3

Monitoring identity-based risks using Defender + Creto alerts

Combine Microsoft Defender’s insights with Creto’s behavioral analytics to detect anomalies, lateral movement, and privilege escalation—before they lead to breaches.

4

Automating access reviews for privileged AD accounts

Ensure continuous compliance by triggering automated, scheduled access certifications and reviews for high-risk accounts within Active Directory and hybrid environments.

5

Enforcing Just-in-Time (JIT) access to critical Microsoft resources

Reduce standing privileges by granting temporary access to sensitive resources only when needed—automatically revoked when tasks are completed or time expires.

6

Applying conditional access policies to legacy systems via hybrid AD

Extend Microsoft’s conditional access logic to on-premises and legacy applications through hybrid Active Directory, ensuring identity policies apply uniformly across environments.

The Integration: Adaptive, Unified, Microsoft-Ready
