Cloud Talks #11 Azure Governance Series – Identity Baseline

Welcome to Cloud Talks!

After our insightful session on the Security Baseline discipline of Azure Governance, we are excited to continue our Azure Governance series by diving into the Identity discipline, which is an integral part of the Cloud Adoption Framework.

In this upcoming event, we will explore the Identity Baseline discipline and its importance in consistently applying authentication and authorization requirements across cloud adoption efforts. We’ll discuss the advantages of utilizing Azure Active Directory as the centralized identity and authentication system for your organization, and how it complements the Security Baseline discipline. During the session, we will cover the following key areas:

1. Azure Active Directory configuration
2. Administrative access
3. Business user access
4. Application access

For each area, you’ll receive prescriptive guidance on what to govern and how to audit compliance with standards. Additionally, we will delve into the identity management tools available for user management and access control, which help reduce the risks associated with user access to your applications.

Join us for this informative event and discover how to effectively manage your organization’s identity baseline within the Azure cloud environment.
