Cybercrime never sleeps and the threat actors behind it never stop evolving their tactics—including using AI to automate cyberattacks, create deep fakes, and complete other nefarious tasks. According to Statista’s Market Insights, the estimated global cost of online criminal acts is expected to surge to $23.84 trillion by 2027, up from $8.44 trillion in 2022.¹ To counter the launch of cyberattacks at scale, organizations need a robust security strategy, especially given the global talent shortage and coordinated nation-state teams they’re faced with.

This is why a proactive and integrated Zero Trust approach is needed more than ever. A Zero Trust approach considers all activity as suspect, and relies on three foundational principles: verify explicitly, ensure least privilege access, and assume breach. It’s especially effective when an end-to-end security approach is applied to Zero Trust, protecting identities, endpoints, apps, infrastructure, networks, and data consistently across the entire organization’s environment. To learn more about how our new capabilities in identity and network access and security operations make it easier to implement Zero Trust across your entire environment, register for “Zero Trust in the Age of AI” and bring your questions to the livestream at 10:00 AM PT on July 31, 2024.

Microsoft is committed to security above all else² and dedicated to the principles of Zero Trust. We’ll continue to innovate new capabilities for our end-to-end security that combine effectively with these solid principles. We’ll explore the value of these new capabilities at our “Zero Trust in the Age of AI” spotlight at 10:00 AM PT on July 31, 2024. Led by Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Security Vasu Jakkal, the online event will include:

• A keynote exploring why an end-to-end approach centered around a Zero Trust strategy is crucial in addressing future security challenges.
• A demo of the latest product innovations, walking you through how a strong Zero Trust strategy can thwart a breach attempt at machine speed with Microsoft’s unified security operations platform, and how the new Microsoft Entra Suite helps protect every access point to any resource, from anywhere.
• A panel discussion with Gary McLellan, Head of Engineering Frameworks and Core Mobile Apps at Virgin Money, and Carlos Rivera, Senior Analyst at Forrester, on practical ways to take your Zero Trust strategy to the next level.    

Simplifying Zero Trust implementation

With the recent general availability of the Microsoft Entra Suite and the Microsoft unified security operations platform, Microsoft is reaffirming our commitment to Zero Trust. We believe Forrester has acknowledged this commitment by naming Microsoft as a leader in the 2023 Zero Trust Platform Providers Wave™, recognizing our advocacy of Zero Trust in our products and supporting services as well as giving us the highest scores possible in the innovation and vision criteria.

The Microsoft Entra Suite is the industry’s most comprehensive Zero Trust user access solution for the workforce while our unified security operations platform offers unified threat protection and posture management. This combination of products simplifies the implementation of Zero Trust architecture.

For a technical deep dive on the new Microsoft Entra Suite, join us on August 14, 2024, for the Microsoft Entra Suite Tech Accelerator, part of an ongoing virtual program aimed at expanding attendees’ technical knowledge of Microsoft products and connect them with industry peers.
