Session Abstract

As cyber threats evolve, traditional security models are no longer sufficient to protect modern cloud environments. Zero Trust Security is a critical framework for securing identities, devices, applications, and data in Microsoft Azure. In this session, we will explore the core principles of Zero Trust—verify explicitly, use least privileged access, and assume breach—and demonstrate how to implement them effectively in Azure. Attendees will learn how to leverage Conditional Access, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, network segmentation, Just-In-Time access, and other key security controls to build a robust Zero Trust architecture. By the end of this session, you will have a clear roadmap for strengthening security in their Azure environments, reducing attack surfaces, and improving overall resilience against cyber threats. Sign up and be secure!
