🕐 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM EST
📍 700N Conference Room , Louisville , Kentucky

Learn how to implement multi-layered security approaches in Azure with NSGs, Azure Firewall, and micro-segmentation.

Join us for an in-depth exploration of cloud network security with Sean Whitesell, Microsoft MVP and President of SkyForge Consulting.

Session Abstract

When setting up cloud network security, it is crucial to implement a multi-layered security approach to protect your infrastructure and data. This involves configuring network security groups to control inbound and outbound traffic, ensuring that only legitimate traffic is allowed. Utilizing a centralized firewall for network security policies and threat protection is also essential.

Leveraging native security features for continuous monitoring, threat detection, and security analytics can significantly enhance your security posture. By adhering to best practices and regularly reviewing and updating security configurations, organizations can maintain a robust and resilient network security posture in any cloud environment.

This talk will give you an in-depth insight into implementing Azure network solutions that significantly strengthen network security posture. Attendees will learn about the critical role of Network Security Groups (NSGs) in controlling traffic to and from Azure resources, ensuring only legitimate traffic is allowed. The utilization of Azure Firewall for centralized network security policies and comprehensive threat protection will also be covered.

The session will place strong emphasis on advanced network architecture designs such as micro-segmentation, which creates isolated network segments, significantly reducing the attack surface and limiting lateral movement within the network. By incorporating these sophisticated architecture designs and adhering to best practices, participants will gain invaluable knowledge on how to robustly secure their Azure environments, ultimately enhancing the overall security framework and resilience of their infrastructure.
