The shift to remote and hybrid work has exposed gaps in traditional perimeter-based security models. Secure
Remote Access is VSI Technologies' hands-on workshop that guides IT and security teams through applying zero-trust principles with Microsoft Security solutions. We start with a Zero-Trust Maturity Assessment, mapping user journeys and identifying high-risk access paths. Next, we configure Azure AD Conditional Access policies to enforce device compliance, multi-factor authentication, and location-based controls before granting resource access. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Cloud App Security are deployed to provide continuous monitoring, risk scoring, and real-time remediation of compromised sessions. The workshop includes labs on setting up Microsoft Tunnel for secure access to on-prem resources and integrating Intune for mobile-device management. We demonstrate automated remediation workflows that isolate high-risk endpoints, require step-up authentication, or block lateral movement. Participants leave with a validated zero-trust blueprint, policy templates, and a phased roll-out plan to secure remote work without hindering productivity.
