In a cloud environment, securing privileged identities and DevOps pipelines with privileged access requires special attention. In this session, Sean Deuby and Gil Kirkpatrick (Semperis Chief Architect) discuss Microsoft's current guidance for securing privileged access in Microsoft Azure with Thomas Naunheim (Cloud Architect at glueckkanja-gab AG). They cover how to design a secure foundation for privileged identities, including how to prevent privilege escalation by implementing a well-designed and delegated Azure RBAC model.
