    Entra Private Access

    Zero Trust Network Access to private apps — a modern VPN replacement.

    Microsoft Entra Private Access provides Zero Trust Network Access to private applications — granting least-privilege, per-app access based on identity and conditional access, without exposing the network like a VPN. Part of Microsoft’s Security Service Edge (Global Secure Access), it modernises remote access. Faltrox designs, deploys, and operates it as managed Zero Trust access.

    Overview

    What Entra Private Access is

    Traditional VPN grants broad network access and is a frequent breach path — once on the network, an attacker can move freely. Microsoft Entra Private Access replaces that with Zero Trust Network Access: users get least-privilege access to specific private applications based on identity and conditional access, without ever being placed on the network.

    Part of Microsoft’s Security Service Edge offering (Global Secure Access), it publishes private apps for per-app access, enforces Entra ID conditional access on every connection, and works for apps on-premises and in any cloud — with support for legacy protocols beyond just web apps. It removes the lateral-movement risk of VPN while integrating with the identity control plane. Faltrox designs the access policy, migrates users off VPN, and operates it as managed Zero Trust access.

    FAQ

    Common questions

    01How is Entra Private Access different from a VPN?

    A VPN puts the user on the network and grants broad access; Entra Private Access grants least-privilege access to specific private applications based on identity and conditional access, without network exposure. That removes the lateral-movement risk that makes VPN a frequent breach path.

    02Does it only work with web apps?

    No — it supports legacy protocols beyond just web/HTTP apps, so it can replace VPN for a broad range of private applications, on-premises and in any cloud, not only modern web apps.

    03What is Global Secure Access?

    It is Microsoft’s Security Service Edge (SSE) offering. Entra Private Access provides the ZTNA (private-app access) component, and Entra Internet Access provides the secure web gateway (internet/SaaS) component — together forming Microsoft’s SSE. Faltrox designs both.

    04How does conditional access apply?

    Entra ID conditional access is enforced on every private-app connection, so access decisions weigh user, device, location, and risk — the same Zero Trust policy engine as the rest of Entra, applied to private-app access.

    05How does Faltrox operate it?

    We design the per-app access policy, publish your private apps, migrate users off legacy VPN, and operate it — delivering managed Zero Trust access to private applications as part of the Zero Trust architecture we build with you.
