Training: Adversary Perspectives: Azure
Organizations have their heads in the clouds, or at least their infrastructure. Gone are the days of on-prem domain controllers and Exchange servers. Microsoft’s Azure provides organizations with the ability to deploy cloud hosts and services to augment, or in some cases, replace existing functionality completely. All of these new cloud assets need protection, both through traditional defensive security measures, and offensive security assessments. For new and veteran security professionals alike, understanding how these new technologies work and the nuances of securing them can quickly become complicated.
Adversary Perspectives: Azure aims to provide participants without previous Azure experience with a solid understanding of how attackers look at Microsoft Azure, its authentication mechanisms, and how they commonly attack Azure-based environments.
