Microsoft’s Zero Trust Series

Learn the basics of Zero Trust cyber security, with thought leaders from Microsoft, AustCyber, and NTT. This session will help you to:

• Understand the principles underlying Zero Trust, and why they’re important.
• Identify the key elements in your organisation’s attack surface.
• Envision how your organisation can improve its security stance.
• Ensure that remote work doesn’t erode the safety of your data.

Knowing who and what is accessing your data is integral to keeping it secure. Learn how to:

• Verify the identities of people, services, and devices using strong authentication.
• Monitor resource access for compliance and unusual behaviour.
• Follow least privilege access principles.
• Monitor and enforce device health.
• Check compliance before allowing secure access.

Your data, and the applications and APIs that use it, are valuable assets. Learn how to:

• Apply controls and technologies to discover shadow IT.
• Ensure appropriate in-app permissions.
• Gate access based on real-time analytics.
• Monitor for abnormal behaviour.
• Control user actions.
• Validate secure configuration options.
• Classify, label, and encrypt data.

Infrastructure and networks act as the skeleton that supports your business.
Learn how to:

• Assess for version, configuration, and JIT access to harden defences.
• Use telemetry to detect attacks and anomalies.
• Automatically block and flag risky behaviour and take protective action.
• Segment and micro-segment networks.
• Deploy real-time cyber threat protection, end-to-end encryption, monitoring, and analytics.

Join the Microsoft team behind our internal implementation of Zero Trust. They’ll be talking about our implementation approach, the best practices they put in place, and the lessons they learnt. This will be a valuable session for anyone who is or will be involved in a Zero Trust security deployment.
