Stop fighting your legacy VPN and start treating your private apps like cloud apps: accessible from anywhere, secured by Entra ID, and governed by Zero Trust. The age of the "flat network" is over. Microsoft’s Global Secure Access (GSA) is the game-changer that brings identity-centric security to your private, on-premises resources. In this demo-heavy session, we move beyond the buzzwords of Security Service Edge (SSE) to show you exactly how to publish private apps without a VPN. We will explore deep integration with the Entra ecosystem by demonstrating how to wrap private traffic in Conditional Access, automate access via Access Packages, and maintain a "least-privilege" posture using PIM and Access Reviews. Learn how to bridge the gap between your local data center and the cloud using a single, unified identity fabric.

By joining this session, you will gain the practical "how-to" for replacing your aging VPN infrastructure with a modern SSE solution. You will leave with the confidence to implement a Zero Trust network strategy that is fully integrated into your existing Entra ID governance and security stack.

You will learn:

• Execute VPN-Less Connectivity: Deploy Private Access to securely reach on-premises resources without traditional tunneling software.
• Unify Identity and Network Security: Apply granular Conditional Access and MFA requirements to legacy private applications.
• Automate Private Access Governance: Use Entitlement Management to automate the lifecycle of network access, ensuring users only reach private apps when necessary.
