Revolutionizing Network Access: From Antipatterns to Zero Trust with Microsoft Entra

Already Happened
Upcoming
Webinar

The "Zero Trust" concept might sometimes seem like another trendy term cybersecurity vendors push. However, beyond the buzz, it represents a vital transformation in our approach to cybersecurity: shifting the focus from assets to identities. Ignoring this shift could expose you to expensive breaches.

Zero Trust is a necessity, not an option, in today's threat landscape. It emphasizes continuous verification and vigilance. Addressing these antipatterns is an essential first step.

What You'll Learn:

In this webinar, our speakers will discuss security challenges and the Open Group standards, explain how Zero Trust enables organizations to grow and operate in the rapidly changing business models, technologies, regulatory mechanisms, and threats that are the hallmark of the digital enterprise, and highlight Entra Invoke solutions.

  • Identity/Network Access challenges customers face - antipatterns and fragmentation
  • Attacking the solution from multiple angles
  • Zero Trust standards from The Open Group that apply to adaptive access
  • Highlight Invoke’s secure private network & internet access solutions with Microsoft Entra
  • Commentary on the Zero Trust Playbook series being authored by Mark Simos
