The way people work has fundamentally changed. Employees now access business applications from home offices, airports, customer sites, coffee shops, and mobile devices instead of sitting inside a corporate network. Traditional VPNs were designed for an era when applications lived inside company data centers and network boundaries provided the primary layer of security. In this Microsoft Knowledge Nuggets episode, Mirko Peters explains Microsoft Entra Global Secure Access (GSA) in plain English, showing how Microsoft replaces broad network connectivity with identity-driven Zero Trust access that grants users access only to the specific applications and services they need. UNDERSTANDING MICROSOFT ENTRA GLOBAL SECURE ACCESS Microsoft Entra Global Secure Access is Microsoft's cloud-delivered Security Service Edge (SSE) platform that secures access to both private enterprise applications and public internet resources. Instead of assuming that anyone connected to the company network should be trusted, Global Secure Access evaluates every connection using Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, device compliance, user identity, application context, and real-time security signals.
