Stopping Teams data exfiltration dead using Teams data using Microsoft 365 Endpoint DLP

Stopping Teams data exfiltration dead using Teams data using Microsoft 365 Endpoint DLP

Protecting sensitive data from risky or inappropriate copying, sharing, transfer, or use is a top priority for any organization. Remote working and data sharing across a plethora of corporate and personally owned devices have created renewed emphasis on providing strong and coordinated protection on the endpoint's employees use every day.

Microsoft Endpoint DLP identifies and protects information on endpoints. It extends the activity monitoring and protection capabilities of DLP to sensitive items that are physically stored on Windows 10, Windows 11, and macOS devices. It delivers three core capabilities: Native protection, seamless deployment, and integrated insights.

In this session, Luke will play the disgruntled employee looking to try and conduct some insider data exfiltration using Microsoft Teams with Jose/Jon playing the part of the defenders to try and stop Luke dead in his tracks!

After attending this session, you will understand at a high-level:

What Endpoint DLP is, what are the capabilities and how it can better protect your data
A live demo of Endpoint attacker vs defender
How you can take the insights of Endpoint DLP and integrate it into the Microsoft Sentinel

We will cover:

Challenges of manual infrastructure provisioning

Benefits of automating infrastructure provisioning

Using diagrams to visualise infrastructure and threat modelling with Microsoft Threat Modelling Tool

Technical details of (1) translating Visio diagrams into Terraform and Bicep, (2) Importing the diagrams into Microsoft Threat Modelling Tool and (3) AzureRM and AzureAD through IaC “gotchas”

Potential benefits, limitations, and trade-offs of this approach

Integrating with common DevOps tools and workflows

Results of the proof of concept through sample diagrams and generated code, along with lessons learned from the development process.

Attendees will learn about the benefits of automating infrastructure provisioning and how using diagrams to visualize infrastructure can improve threat modelling capabilities. They will also gain a technical understanding of how to translate Visio diagrams into Terraform and Bicep code, as well as insights into the limitations and trade-offs of this approach. Finally, attendees will see a showcase of results and lessons learned, as well as potential use cases and considerations for implementing this approach in their own organizations.
