Today, I led a workshop on Conditional Access, an essential tool within Microsoft Entra and the engine of Microsoft’s Zero Trust framework.
During the session, I emphasized the need for organizations to embrace identity-centered security controls.
The traditional approach of relying solely on network perimeter security, where everything behind a firewall or boundaries is considered safe, is no longer sufficient or reliable.
Instead, organizations should adopt an end-to-end Zero Trust strategy for their security architecture. This strategy is based on three key principles:
Verify Explicitly: Always verify the identity of users and devices before granting access.
Always Assume Breach: Rather than assuming safety, operate with the mindset that breaches are possible.
Use the Principle of Least Privilege: Limit access permissions to the minimum necessary for each user or system ensuring that only authorized users have access to the right resources at the right time.
Overall, the workshop was insightful, allowing me to share knowledge with others while also enriching my own understanding.
Grateful to my organization INFINION for the opportunity to share my knowledge and expertise
