Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), is an enterprise identity service that provides single sign-on, multifactor authentication, and conditional access to guard against 99.9 percent of cybersecurity attacks.
Azure helps protect your users and your data:
- SSO simplifies access to your apps from anywhere.
- Conditional access and multifactor authentication help secure data.
- A single identity control plane grants full visibility and control of your environment.
- Governance ensures the right people have access to the right resources, and only when they need it.

An Azure AD Premium P1 vs. P2 Overview
Azure AD Free still includes basic and important features such as pass-through cloud authentication. But it only supports up to 500,000 directory objects, which is a limitation most mid-sized businesses will run up against. This is where their Premium P1 and P2 plans really shine. The advanced set of features that P1 and P2 offer are perfect for anyone that wants to do more automated self-administration.
Active Directory Premium P1
From its small business packages all the way to enterprise level, Azure P1 is designed to empower organisations with more demanding identity and access management needs. Experience enterprise-level identity management capabilities and conditional access features allowing for seamless work in and out of office.
Active Directory Premium P2
Premium P2 has all the features of P1 but also identity protection and identity governance. Identity protection includes: vulnerabilities and risky account detection, risky events integration and risk-based conditional access policies.
