entra-global-secure-access

entra-global-secure-access is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vinayaklatthe/microsoft-security-skills. It costs 225 tokens per session (1,882 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for Microsoft Entra Global Secure Access, a cloud service that controls internet and private-application access through a shared client and identity system. It covers Entra Internet Access, which protects web traffic, and Entra Private Access, which provides authenticated access to internal apps without a traditional VPN.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan client deployment, traffic-forwarding profiles, Conditional Access for Microsoft 365, and remote access to TCP or UDP applications.
Why use it?
It helps replace or reduce VPN use and apply identity-based access rules to network traffic.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

entra-global-secure-access scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Microsoft Entra Global Secure Access

Global Secure Access (GSA) is Microsoft's Security Service Edge (SSE) platform delivered through the Entra control plane. It has two products that share one client, one policy surface, and one identity model:

  • Entra Internet Access — secure web gateway (SWG) for internet and Microsoft 365 traffic with Conditional Access applied to network flows.
  • Entra Private Access — ZTNA replacement for traditional VPN, fronting on-prem and IaaS apps through Entra-authenticated connectors (evolution of Entra App Proxy).

When to use

Replacing VPN with ZTNA, applying Conditional Access to outbound internet traffic, restoring source IP for M365 sign-ins from the GSA client, or providing remote-worker access to TCP/UDP apps that aren't HTTPS.

Do not use this skill for generic CA policy authoring (conditional-access-mfa), hybrid network design (azure-network-security-design), or competing SSE products.

Traffic forwarding profiles

Profile Traffic captured Use case
Microsoft profile Entra ID + M365 traffic Source IP restoration, CA on network for M365
Internet Access profile All internet egress SWG, web filtering, CA on internet traffic
Private Access profile Defined private apps (on-prem, IaaS) ZTNA, VPN replacement

Each profile is assigned to users/groups; user can be in all three concurrently.

Approach

  1. Start with the Microsoft profile, even if you're not buying full SSE yet. It's included with Entra ID P1/P2 (in preview/GA per region). Benefits:

    • Source IP restoration → CA policies that "require trusted network" actually work for remote users on the GSA client.
    • Compliant network check in CA: only requests through GSA satisfy the condition.
  2. Pilot the GSA client on a small group (50–200 users). Validate:

    • Latency to top apps (M365, internal HR, SAP) ≤ baseline + 30 ms.
    • Captive portals still work (hotel/airport Wi-Fi).
    • Conflict check with existing VPN clients, third-party endpoint protection, and personal firewalls.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
