Zero Trust Architecture on Azure OpenHack

The Zero Trust Architecture on Azure OpenHack is an immersive, hands-on learning experience designed to equip security professionals and cloud architects with the skills to implement a comprehensive Zero Trust security model. In today's threat landscape, traditional perimeter-based security is no longer sufficient. This OpenHack challenges participants to design and deploy a modern security framework that assumes breach and verifies every access request, regardless of where it originates. Throughout this intensive workshop, you'll tackle real-world scenarios that require you to secure identities using Azure Active Directory with multi-factor authentication and conditional access policies, protect endpoints with Microsoft Defender and Intune, implement application-level security with Azure App Service and API Management, and establish infrastructure protection through network segmentation, micro-segmentation, and policy-driven access controls. You'll work with Azure Security Center, Azure Sentinel, and other native Azure security tools to create a defense-in-depth strategy. This OpenHack is ideal for security architects, cloud engineers, IT professionals, and anyone responsible for securing cloud environments. Participants will leave with practical experience implementing Zero Trust principles, a deep understanding of Azure security services, and a proven framework they can immediately apply to their organization's cloud security posture. By the end of the challenge, you'll have built a resilient, adaptive security architecture that protects your organization's most critical assets while enabling secure access for users and applications.
