⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse Microsoft Entra ID's identity and access management capabilities with broader security tools like Defender for Cloud (CSPM) or Sentinel (SIEM), or with device management tools like Intune (MDM), because all are part of Microsoft's security portfolio but serve distinct functions.
