Date:
29 July 2025

Led by:
Waseem Awwad – Microsoft MVP, Security and Azure

Format:
Online technical mentoring and coaching session

Overview:
This coaching session is designed for cloud teams who want to manage Azure environments with more control, consistency, and operational discipline.

The discussion focuses on practical governance habits that are often missed after Azure resources are deployed. Instead of treating Azure Policy, tagging, access control, monitoring, and ownership as separate administrative tasks, the session connects them as part of one operating model for managing Azure resources securely and consistently.

Participants will review practical governance situations such as inconsistent tagging, unclear resource ownership, missing policy enforcement, weak monitoring expectations, and configuration drift. The session will also explain how stronger governance can support security baselines, improve visibility, reduce operational gaps, and make remediation easier to track.

What Participants Will Learn:
How Azure Policy supports control and consistency
Why tagging discipline matters for ownership and visibility
How resource organization affects security and operations
How access control links to governance risk
How monitoring expectations should be defined early
How governance helps reduce configuration drift
How to make remediation follow-up clearer for cloud teams

Cloud Security

Recommended Audience:

Session Summary:
An online technical coaching session helping cloud teams understand practical Azure governance habits, including policy, tagging, ownership, monitoring, security baselines, and operational follow-up.
