Microsoft Azure adoption with cybersecurity first principle strategies.

The cloud revolution is here. How well can we implement our first principle strategies within each environment? Do we need to embrace other security platforms to get it done? In this session, Rick and the Hash Table review Microsoft Azure through the lens of first principle thinking. They review how Azure supports, or doesn’t support, strategies of resilience, zero trust, intrusion kill chains, and risk assessments. The Hash Table gives their detailed technical experiences and strategies using Azure to support cybersecurity.

Two members of the CyberWire’s Hash Table of experts - Rick Doten, Carolina Complete Health CISO and Mark Simos, Microsoft’s Lead Cybersecurity Architect - discuss Microsoft Azure security through a first principle lens.
