Speaker Jethro Seghers

5 Must-Have Components in your Microsoft Security Plan

RSVP Today

Too often we look at security as a set of technologies. Microsoft is doing a great job at providing technology and documentation on their security technologies. But a set of technologies is not a plan. How do you know what to use for what scenario? How do all these component work together? We have Azure Active Directory, Data Loss Prevention, Azure Information Protection, Advanced Threat Protection, etc. How do we combine all these technologies, so we cover all the security needs for our organization?

In this session, we will cover the different components of a security plan and which Microsoft Security Technology you can connect with it. In this session we will design a security plan for our organization with a set of best practices and real-life lessons learned.
