See how you can apply Zero Trust principles and policies to your endpoints and apps; the conduits for users to access your data, network, and resources. Jeremy Chapman walks through your options, controls, and recent updates to implement the Zero Trust security model. Our Essentials episode gave a high-level overview of the principles of the Zero Trust security model, spanning identity, endpoints, applications, networks, infrastructure, and data. For Zero Trust, endpoints refer to the devices people use every day — both corporate or personally owned computers and mobile devices. The prevalence of remote work means devices can be connected from anywhere and the controls you apply should be correlated to the level of risk at those endpoints. For corporate managed endpoints that run within your firewall or your VPN, you will still want to use principles of Zero Trust: Verify explicitly, apply least privileged access, and assume breach. We've thought about the endpoint attack vectors holistically and have solutions to help you protect your endpoints and the resources that they're accessing. ► QUICK LINKS: 00:00 - Introduction 01:16 - Register your endpoints 01:49 - Configure and enforce compliance 02:31 - Search policies with new settings catalog 03:15 - Group Policy analytics 04:00 - Microsoft Defender for Endpoint 04:36 - Microsoft Cloud App Security (MCAS) 06:36 - Reverse proxy 07:06 - Authentication context 08:44 - Anomaly detection policies 09:21 - Wrap up ► Link References: For more on our series, keep checking back to https://aka.ms/ZeroTrustMechanics Watch our Zero Trust Identity episode at https://aka.ms/IdentityMechanics Learn more about the Zero Trust approach at https://aka.ms/zerotrust ► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?

Microsoft Viva Connections | Curated Organization and Personal Experience

Tour your identity options when moving to the Zero Trust security model. Our last Essentials episode gave a high-level overview of the Zero Trust security model principles: identity, endpoints, applications, networks, infrastructure, and data. Join our host, Jeremy Chapman, as he unpacks the foundational layer of the model with identity. As the primary control plane for Zero Trust, it acts as the front door for people, service accounts, and devices as each requests access to resources. Identity is at the core of the Zero Trust concepts of never trust, always verify and grant the appropriate level of access through the principle of least privilege. Verify Explicitly Azure AD - easily implement additional protections to verify explicitly Multi-factor authentication (MFA) - requires an additional authentication factor. Replace passwords with Microsoft Authenticator, Windows Hello, or FIDO2 keys. Activity reports in the Authentication methods - see who’s capable of MFA and passwordless authentication, how many recent registrations and by type. Usage - see the distribution of MFA sign-ins and by method, as well as the number of password changes and resets. Least Privilege access Conditional Access in Azure AD - uses real-time intelligence at the time of sign-in to assess the risk level, then blocks or grants access. Built-in Insights and Reporting - expose the impact of enabled policies pre- and post enforcement. ► QUICK LINKS: 00:00 - Introduction 00:37 - Demo in Azure AD 01:47 - Azure AD Application Proxy 02:50 - How to set up multi-factor authentication 04:44 - Activity Reports for admins 05:21 - Least privileged access and conditional access 07:22 - Conditional Access Insights and Reporting 08:16 - Wrap up ► Link References: For tips and demonstrations, check out our series at https://aka.ms/ZeroTrustMechanics Learn more at https://aka.ms/zerotrust ► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?
