"You can start your zero trust journey with your existing environment. We encourage customers to follow a two-step approach: Step one is focused on implementing strong authentication controls beyond passwords, which can be done with existing infrastructure. The second step is limiting privilege access," he says.
In a video interview with Information Security Media Group, Gomes also discusses:
- Why an identity-centric zero trust approach is easy;
- How to leverage existing IAM solutions;
- Microsoft's own zero trust journey.
