(formerly Azure AD) Single Sign-On
(SSO), providing seamless and
secure authentication for remote
users.

Crystal Eye WireGuard with Entra ID
SSO ensures that employees
authenticate using Azure AD
credentials instead of standalone
VPN passwords. This integration
eliminates password fatigue,
reduces the risk of credential reuse
attacks, and improves user
experience.

By enforcing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Conditional Access policies, organizations can add
another layer of security, ensuring that only authorized users on compliant devices can connect to the
corporate network.

Security administrators benefit from centralized access control and audit logging, as all VPN
authentication requests are managed through Azure AD groups. This means that access can be easily
revoked when an employee leaves or changes roles, reducing the risk of forgotten or stale VPN accounts.
Additionally, organizations can enforce Zero Trust principles by requiring VPN users to meet specific
security criteria before establishing a connection.

For businesses, integrating Crystal Eye WireGuard with Entra ID SSO delivers a seamless, secure, and
scalable remote access solution. Employees experience frictionless login, while IT teams gain enhanced
control over VPN security and compliance. The combination of strong encryption, single sign-on, and
adaptive access controls ensures that remote access remains both secure and user-friendly.

Declarative Authorization Service (DAS): Enforcing Zero Trust with Precision

One cornerstone of Red Piranha’s Crystal Eye platform is the integration of Declarative Authorization
Service (DAS). Crystal Eye’s Declarative Authorization Service (DAS) distinguishes itself from others by
providing a scalable, automated framework that protects software services with precise, “allow on need
basis” access control, reducing manual effort and revenue loss while enhancing availability.

Integrated within Crystal Eye’s platform featuring a next-generation firewall, NDR, EDR, and SIEM, DAS
leverages real-time threat intelligence (updated four times daily with 70,000+ IDPS rules) and Automated
Actionable Intelligence to dynamically block unauthorized access to REST endpoints, offering granular
protection beyond many alternatives.

Managed by a DAS Administrator, it oversees Cloud Tenant Access (integrating Azure AD for
users/groups), Enterprise Application Details (FQDN, IP, ports), Resources (endpoint protection), and
Policies (blocking rules). Affordable and MSP-friendly, DAS supports compliance (e.g., GDPR, ISO
