At Ignite 2021, Microsoft is promoting the Zero Trust security mindset. With recent security breaches in mind, Microsoft believes the Zero Trust security mindset helps address and encompass “all types of threats, both outside in and inside out,” and is the “right approach is to address security, compliance, identity, and device management as an interdependent whole.”
For those who aren’t familiar with Microsoft’s terminology, the Zero Trust security news means that Microsoft is basically pushing four security innovations across what it is calling “identity, security, compliance, and skilling.”
To get there, Microsoft says the first step is to start with a cloud identity foundation, which includes strong authentication, protecting user credentials, and devices that are essential. Some of these thingsare coming to Azure Active Directory, as seen below.
As for the second security aspect, there are abunch of improvementsto Microsoft’s products coming here, too. Microsoft believes that they are taking a “holistic approach” to security, unlike other vendors which face “time-consuming challenge” to integrate both SIEM tools and endpoint or email protection. Their solutions are built from the ground up, with these new advancements, as seen below.
When it comes to the third aspect, Microsoft is also working on compliance protections, too. This relates to managing risks related to data, as well as third parties, too. This is why Microsoft is introducing the following. Full detailsare in this blog post.
The approach ends with the final aspect of skilling. This is one of the most simple, to help keep people up to date with the latest security issues, with learning resources. Microsoft is introducing four new security, compliance, and identity certifications tailored to specific roles and needs, regardless of where someone can be in their skilling journey. This includes the Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals certification, Information Protection Administrator Associate certification, Security Operations Analyst Associate certification, as well as the Identity and Access Administrator Associate certification.
