Welcome to our in-depth look at Single Sign-On (SSO) and how Azure Active Directory (AAD) can be a game-changer for your organization's identity management. We're living in a world with an ever-growing number of applications and services and managing access to all of them can become a real headache.

Today we are getting a little SASE 😊 We are talking about the Secure Access Service Edge. Before I talk about the components of SASE, let's talk a little bit about what it is.
