Microsoft Entra Internet Access isolates the traffic for Microsoft applications and resources, such as Exchange Online and SharePoint Online. Users can access these resources by connecting to the Global Secure Access client or through a remote network, such as in a branch office location.
Microsoft Entra Private Access
Microsoft Entra Private Access is an advanced security solution that provides granular network access based on user needs. It enables users to access specific network destinations on their private network, and administrators can create private applications with precise segmentation and least privilege access.
