Content+Cloud has today achieved another Microsoft Advanced Specialisation in Identity and Access Management. This is the eighth such specialisation under our belt – making us one of only 19 Microsoft partners in the UK to hold eight or more Advanced Specialisations.
Advanced specialisations are only awarded to Microsoft partners who demonstrate a deep knowledge and extensive expertise in a specific area, and this particular specialisation gives our clients the full reassurance that their assets are fully protected against unwanted access.
What is the Microsoft Advanced Specialisation in Identity and Access Management?
The Identity and Access Management advanced specialisation is awarded to Microsoft partners who evidence their technical abilities in delivering Microsoft identity workloads with Azure Active Directory (AD).
To achieve this award, partners must hold an active Gold Cloud Platform competency and meet a strict set of criteria in regard to delivering identity and access management services.
Mike Parker, Head of Technology Enablement at Content+Cloud, said:
“Achieving the Microsoft Advanced Specialisation in Identity and Access Management demonstrates to our clients that Content+Cloud is trusted to manage their identity security needs.
“Hybrid working has certainly changed the face of business, especially when it comes to cyber security. While cloud-based working presents countless new opportunities for business, it also introduces a number of security risks.
“Identity and access management is essential to protect organisations from the threats associated with the public cloud. Content+Cloud is committed to securing our clients’ assets, and this latest advanced specialisation is evidence that we’re the perfect partner for organisations seeking the assurance of a zero-trust model.”
Identity and access management in Azure AD
Identity and access management is an essential measure for managing digital identities and authorisations within cloud services. As organisations continue to move towards hybrid working models, identity and access management has become more important than ever.
Azure AD protects your business with a unified identity platform, giving you single sign-on, conditional access and multi-factor authentication services. You’ll be able to connect your people securely, no matter where they’re based.
