If you can RDP into a server or a jump server from any computer in your network, you are in trouble and you should join this training!

One concept to deploy in any modern environment is the Concept of Privileged Access Workstations. We simply cannot allow _any_ computer to take down the whole company or have access to resources that can. A normal end-user computer can access the Internet and cannot be thus used to manage the environment. A separate workstation, that cannot access the Internet and is better secured and more controlled, is to be used for managing the environment. We simply cannot combine potential access to malicious content and management into the same device.

The PAW is the missing component that makes a properly tiered Active (or Azure Active) Directory secure and easy to manage!

THE MOST COMMON REASON FOR PAW-PROJECT FAILING OR PEOPLE BEING UNHAPPY ABOUT IT, IS THAT PEOPLE READ MICROSOFT'S INSTRUCTIONS. Come and learn how the PAW-concept with Active Directory Tiering is deployed in reality!

Join, Sami Laiho, a world leading security expert, in this workshop and learn how he manages different sized environments and deploys the concepts of AD/AAD Tiering and Privileged Access Workstations

You will learn:

  • How to deploy Directory Tiering
  • How to deploy Privileged Access Workstations for on-prem & in the Cloud
  • How to keep admins happy while using the PAWs, and not having multiple hardware devices or VMs
