March 2023 Meetup - Azure AD Conditional Access – the gateway to Zero Trust

IMPORTANT: We have changed venue for this month due to availability and also therefore able to start 30 minutes earlier!

Zero-Trust is a buzzword for securing access to enterprise resources. The core of Zero-Trust is the ability to continuously evaluate who, when and how those resources can be accessed. The who, could be a user or a workload identity. The when, when the access request is coming from a particular location, device, or operating system. Thehow, defines requirements for access such as MFA, device compliance and control of the session accessing the resource.

Implementing this control requires a policy enforcement gateway which comprehensively evaluates the access requirements and implements the appropriate controls. In Azure AD, a component of Microsoft Entra, Conditional Access allows the creation and enforcement of policies.
Come to this session and learn all about the capabilities of Azure AD Conditional Access.

John Craddock, who has worked with many private preview aspects of Conditional Access, will keep you up-to-date with all the latest details. This session will be mainly demo-based and definitely one not to be missed.
