Versa MISA-qualifying integrations work with Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Entra Internet Access to bring device posture and identity-aware access control together at the network edge. Intune signals enable VersaONE to apply differentiated policies based on whether a device is managed, compliant, or unmanaged, while Microsoft Entra Internet Access, Microsoft’s identity-centric Secure Web and AI Gateway, extends Conditional Access to AI apps and agents, SaaS, and the web. For customers, this means a consistent Zero Trust policy that follows the user and their device across AI applications, SaaS, and the web, reducing the gap between identity, endpoint, and network enforcement that attackers typically exploit.
“Identity and device signals only matter if the network actually enforces them,” said Tony Fallows, SVP of Business Development at Versa. “By integrating with Microsoft Entra Internet Access, Microsoft’s identity-centric Secure Web and AI Gateway, and Intune, VersaONE turns those signals into real-time Zero Trust policy at the network edge so a compliant user on a managed device gets frictionless access, while anything that does not meet the bar is blocked.”
“The Microsoft Intelligent Security Association has grown into a vibrant ecosystem comprised of the most reliable and trusted security vendors across the globe,” said Maria Thomson, Director, Microsoft Intelligent Security Association. “Our members, like Versa, share Microsoft’s commitment to collaboration within the cybersecurity community to improve our customers’ ability to predict, detect, and respond to security threats faster.”
Established in 2018 to bring together Microsoft leaders and security vendors, MISA focuses on collaborating to combat security threats and create a safer environment for all. Its mission is to provide intelligent, industry-leading security solutions that work together to help protect organizations at the speed and scale of AI in an ever-increasing threat landscape.
