Extend Entra ID Risk Engine Signals to the Network
SecureW2 transforms Entra ID identity data into dynamic certificate policies that adapt to user context and risk in real time. Auto-remediate when suspicious behavior or account compromise occurs.
SecureW2's direct integration with Entra ID enables real-time network policy enforcement based on Entra ID's Risk Engine signals. When user status, group membership, or risk score changes in Entra ID, SecureW2 immediately adjusts network access privileges—blocking compromised accounts, or applying segmentation based on group membership and/or device posture by combining user signals with device trust from Jamf, CrowdStrike, and more.

How SecureW2 + Entra ID Enhances Your Security
Entra ID-Driven Network Access
Network policies that automatically adapt to Entra ID user status, group changes, and risk signals in real-time.
Real-time
Continuous Device Trust
Combine Entra ID user trust with hardware-bound certificates to verify device posture, compliance, and legitimacy.
24/7 Monitoring
Go Passwordless
Replace frustrating MFA prompts and eliminate the risk of credential theft for Wi-Fi, VPN, Entra ID SSO, Desktop Login, and more.
Zero Passwords
Top SecureW2 + Entra ID Use Cases
SAML Certificate Enrollment for Microsoft Entra ID Users
Enable self-service, certificate-based access for unmanaged devices using Entra ID SAML SSO
- 1 User downloads Self-Service Onboarding Client from JoinNow Landing Page
- 2 Client redirects the user to Entra ID SSO to enter credentials
- 3 Credentials are verified, SAML token with user attributes sent to JoinNow Client
- 4 Certificate is issued and installed with network settings; device is ready for Wi-Fi
-
Passwordless, certificate-based Wi-Fi for unmanaged/BYOD devices
-
Role-based access using Entra ID groups and attributes
-
Faster, self-service onboarding with minimal IT effort
-
Reduced risk of credential theft and spoofed networks
Automate Network Access & Segmentation via Entra ID Signals
Implement dynamic access controls based on Microsoft's Entra ID user attributes with SecureW2's Cloud RADIUS
- 1 Devices present certificates to the Cloud RADIUS server, initiating authentication
- 2 SecureW2 uses real-time lookups to verify users' status through Entra ID
- 3 Access decisions are driven by user roles and groups within Entra ID
- 4 Policies ensure users are placed in the correct VLAN or access group based on current directory information
-
Ensures only authorized and active users have network access
-
Reduce risk by assigning VLAN segmentation based on real-time user status
-
Reduce the need for manual oversight and automate network access
-
Combine EntraID user status with device trust from Jamf, CrowdStrike, and more
Enforce App Access Control with Certificate-Validated Devices
Enable granular application access policies in Entra ID using device certificates issued by SecureW2’s advanced PKI.
- 1 Admin creates an Intermediate CA in the JoinNow Portal and exports the PEM-formatted certificate
- 2 The CA is uploaded to Entra ID and mapped under Device Integrations for Desktop (macOS/Windows)
- 3 Authentication policies are defined in Entra ID to enforce conditions like “Managed + Registered” device
- 4 App access is restricted to only devices with valid SecureW2-issued certificates and user group match
-
Certificates provide strong identity signal to Entra ID for trusted device posture
-
Role- and group-based access enforcement for apps (e.g., Workday, Salesforce, GitHub)
-
No need for legacy device management tools or additional endpoint agents
-
Simplifies certificate lifecycle management without reducing authentication granularity
