Microsoft Entra Private Access (NCE)

Microsoft Entra Private Access (NCE) – Digital Subscription

Microsoft Entra Private Access is a cloud-based Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution developed by Microsoft, designed to provide secure, identity-based access to private applications and internal corporate resources without relying on traditional VPN infrastructure.

This solution enables organizations to securely connect users to private applications hosted on-premises or in the cloud while enforcing strict identity verification, device compliance, and conditional access policies. It helps reduce security risks by eliminating broad network access and replacing it with application-level, least-privilege connectivity.

Microsoft Entra Private Access ensures that users only access authorized applications based on identity, device health, and real-time risk signals. It provides seamless, secure connectivity for remote and hybrid work environments while improving visibility and control over internal application access.

This NCE (New Commerce Experience) subscription model offers scalable deployment, centralized administration, and seamless integration within the Microsoft Entra and Microsoft security ecosystem.
