Introduction to the Workshop and Assessment
Implementing a Zero Trust strategy can pose many challenges, such as knowing where to start, what order to implement things in, and how to accurately measure success towards achieving a secure Zero Trust posture. The Microsoft Zero Trust Workshop aims to tackle these problems and simplify the Zero Trust journey via two tools: the Zero Trust Workshop and the Zero Trust Assessment.
Microsoft Zero Trust Workshop
The Zero Trust Workshop Tool is a Single-Page Application (SPA) that enables customers to document their current Zero Trust progress and develop an actionable roadmap for moving forward.
Best for: Stakeholder discussions and roadmap planning.
Watch the workshop introduction.
Microsoft Zero Trust Assessment
The Zero Trust Assessment is a PowerShell module that can be run on your environment to confirm a strong security baseline. Running the PowerShell module on your tenant automatically provides you with a set of programmatically-generated recommendations based on your tenant's current configuration and activity data.
Best for: Automated tenant checks and baseline tracking.
