HashiCorp® announced it has expanded its collaboration with Microsoft to deliver a solution to make it easy to securely access services, applications, and hosts anywhere, as part of a zero trust security framework using HashiCorp Boundary and Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). Combining HashiCorp's secure remote access solution, Boundary, with Microsoft's enterprise identity platform, Azure AD, will enable easy access to applications and critical systems. The solution will enable the use of fine-grained authorization policies based on an organization's trusted identities. HashiCorp and Microsoft are delivering a tight integration between Boundary and Azure AD to offer seamless, automated onboarding for Azure identities, targets, roles, and permissions into a Boundary environment.

The need for secure remote access to dynamic environments is growing rapidly and legacy solutions built around securing access to an organization's private network are not built to scale effectively in ephemeral, multi-cloud environments. The overhead to manage configurations and access across highly manual security workflows impedes employee productivity and increases the risk of credential sprawl and the likelihood of a breach. This collaboration unites HashiCorp's modern, simple secure remote access solution with Microsoft's enterprise identity platform to empower users to quickly and easily access applications and critical systems with fine-grained authorization.

Across clouds, local datacenters, and low-trust networks, Boundary provides an easy solution to protect and safeguard access to applications and critical systems by leveraging trusted identities without exposing the underlying network. Boundary integrates with trusted identity platforms, such as Azure Active Directory, Okta, Ping, and many others that support OpenID Connect.
