Global Secure Access (GSA), Microsoft’s Security Service Edge solution, unites identity‑centric Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access to deliver a modern, resilient access architecture. When implemented correctly, it becomes a cornerstone of Zero Trust.

Since the earliest public previews, I’ve **pioneered** replacing legacy VPN with Entra Private Access and supported numerous proofs of concept, pilots, and full rollouts. In this demo‑rich session, I’ll share hard‑won lessons from the field and highlight the innovations that have transformed the experience.

We’ll explore practical strategies for migration, uncover common pitfalls, and dive into new capabilities that close critical architectural gaps. Expect hands‑on demos of features such as:

- **Intelligent Local Access** – Policy‑driven decisions based on device and network locality
- **Universal Continuous Access Evaluation** – Near real‑time enforcement across hybrid and multi‑cloud environments
- **Private Access for Domain Controllers** – Protecting Domain Controllers with Zero‑Trust Private Access
- **B2B Guest Access with GSA** – Secure, streamlined access for partners and consultants

Join us to learn what works, what doesn’t, and how these advancements shape the future of secure connectivity.
