PEP-Talk: let's talk about zero-trust in Azure

Security should be baked in, not bolted on. At least, that's what a former CISO always recited whenever he could. And guess what, I agree. Don't you?

The challenge most organizations are facing is how to apply the Zero-Trust ingredients so that they can bake it in. NIST has done an excellent job in describing zero-trust in their 800-207 document.

But how can you apply these principles?

In this session I will be taking you on a journey of zero-trust, talking about PEP's, PDP's, how Entra ID fits in and what kind of Microsoft native and 3rd party solutions are out there.

The Governantor: Judgement days in the world of IT

In the trenches of technological evolution, our T2000 (back to the future) mission begins. Just as the Governator shielded humanity in Terminator, our IT Governance is the guardian of your organization's destiny. Unravel the layers, the cybernetic sinews, forming an unbreakable framework for success.

In the ever-evolving business battleground, IT Governance isn't a mere choice; it's a necessity, a Terminator tackling chaos. Uncover its pivotal role in sculpting your organization's future, ensuring a thriving tech landscape.

Time is relentless, especially in the warp-speed realm of technology. With IT Governance, sync with Microsoft's objectives, achieving more with less – a Terminator-like efficiency.

In our real-world exploration (lessons learned), protect against past mistakes. Organizations grapple with excess IT, incompatible products, architectural voids, disjointed departments, and chaotic rebuilds. CISOs drown in multiple reports, struggling to see the forest for the trees.

Join the T2000 mission, where each acronym conceals a lesson, safeguarding your organization against the pitfalls of the past and forging a Governanator-approved path to a resilient tech future.

One Flew Over the Azure Landingzone

In this insightful "Notes from the Field" session, we take a deep dive into the Azure Landing Zone, exploring common mistakes made by organizations during implementations.

Drawing on principles from Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework and the Well-Architected Framework, attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of potential pitfalls, ranging from configuration mishaps to governance oversights.

The session not only highlights these challenges but also provides practical insights into aligning Azure Landing Zone deployments with best practices outlined in both frameworks.

Armed with this knowledge, participants will leave the session with a strategic approach to enhance the success of their Azure Landing Zone projects and ensure a well-architected cloud environment.

Azure Migrations vs. Beer Brewing – What’s the difference?!

Most of us like to get an ice-cold beer in the evening. But not everyone wants to brew their own. The same could be said about Azure: Everyone wants to use it, but not everybody enjoys the migration process. Do you want the factory standard or the tailored flavor? What’s the difference?!
This session will compare the process of beer brewing to the needed steps of an Azure Migration to find out the key differences and similarities. We will have a look at common requirements, success factors and lessons learned, supported by some fun stories and notes from the field. We promise there will be Azure and Beer in the session. So, join us to learn more about both…

A governance story; Why you should involve the CIA in your Azure architecture

Did you ever have the "too expensive" discussion when it comes to your Azure architecture?


Wouldn't it be nice if you could avoid that and still maintain the quality the solution requires? Well… have you ever considered applying CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability) ratings to your workloads?


The CIA triad is a perfect way to define architectural guidelines that match the business' expectations.

In this session I will take you on a journey on how you can avoid the "too expensive" discussion from the start, deliver business value instead of driving operational costs and get the management support you need.
