Entra ID holds apps and secrets that nobody is watching
Apps, secrets and certificates pile up in Entra ID, and the day one of them expires or loses its owner, a business process stops.
Anyone can register an app
Microsoft's defaults for Entra ID enable self-service application registration. Apps created through development or training exercises stay in the tenant unless someone looks for them.
Secrets and certificates expire
Thousands of apps running throughout your organization could break when client secrets and certificates expire.
Apps lose their owner
When people leave your organization, the applications they owned become orphaned, and nobody answers for them or what they can reach.
Identity reaches beyond Microsoft
The Entra ID identification layer is often used beyond Microsoft technologies, for example by AWS applications, which then sit outside your governance plan.
