TechMentor 2-Day Hands-On Training Seminar: Cybersecurity: Deploying Zero Trust in the Real World
February 20-21, 2024
9:00AM – 5:00PM (Central)
Level: Intermediate

The modern cybersecurity threats are requiring us to tighten our control of company assets. Now this does not need to hinder usability or include high priced licenses. Todays’ admins job is not to keep the enemy out of the environment but to slow them down. Everyone gets ransomware, but that does not get you on the news. What gets you on the news is when the threat is able to laterally move around the environment and escalate the event to be a companywide disaster. There is no such thing as 100% security, so you should aim at building multiple layers of 95% security. Doing this effectively instead of spending months on trying to build one “100% secure” layer is the real key to success. The last 5% is also the most expensive part with minimal gains in the big picture. Zero Trust is an important group of concepts, but mostly misunderstood.

The three main concepts of Zero Trust are: “Always Verify”, “Principle of Least Privilege” and “Assume Breach”. In this two-day seminar, Sami Laiho, a leading Windows and Security expert, will show you how to protect your environment against current and future cybersecurity threats. You will learn how to deploy Multi-Factor Authentication in both onprem and cloud, how to remove admin rights from end-users without them losing their productivity, and how to start allowing your end users to work from Starbucks or the corporate office while keeping the level of security and usability at the same level.

The term “Zero Trust” is probably the worst name in the history of IT, but the concepts behind it are something that everyone wants – both admins and end-users! Join this in-depth seminar to learn why Zero Trust is something you should deploy, how to make it work without expensive licenses, and how to keep your end-users and yourself happy while doing it!

Attendee Workstation Requirements:
You must provide your own computer (Windows or Mac) for this hands-on lab workshop with a camera, speakers, a microphone, and internet access for this hands-on lab. Instructions will be sent out one week before the event.
