LAPS for Entra ID
Secure emergency Entra ID global admin accounts for each Entra ID customer tenant
Overview
You can connect your customer Entra ID tenants to idemeum cloud portal. Idemeum will generate up to two break glass accounts for each customer tenant, will set random passwords, and store these accounts in idemeum zero-knowledge vault. All credentials are generated in the browser and are not visible to idemeum. Moreover, every time one of your technicians logs into the portal, idemeum will trigger password rotation from the browser side, therefore we do not even see these accounts credentials when passwords are rotated.
We follow Microsoft best practices for securing emergency accounts.
