Online Workshop: Securing Azure and Hybrid Environments with Microsoft Controls
Speaker:
Waseem Awwad – Microsoft MVP, Security and Azure
Event Type:
Online technical community workshop
Workshop Description:
Join this online technical workshop focused on securing Azure and hybrid environments using Microsoft security capabilities, practical governance controls, and real-world implementation considerations.
This workshop will walk through the key security areas that organizations need to address when adopting Azure or operating hybrid environments. The discussion will cover cloud security posture, identity and access risks, endpoint protection, network exposure, monitoring, ownership, governance, and risk-based remediation. It will also explain how security gaps often appear when technical controls are deployed without clear visibility, operational process, or accountability.
The workshop will help attendees understand how Microsoft security capabilities can be applied in a structured way, not only as isolated configuration settings, but as part of a wider security operating model. The session will also highlight practical examples of common risks, such as weak access controls, unmanaged endpoints, exposed services, incomplete monitoring, and unclear remediation ownership.
This workshop is designed for IT professionals, security professionals, cloud architects, infrastructure teams, and technical decision-makers who want practical guidance on securing Microsoft cloud and hybrid environments.
