In this continuing conversation about the complexities of designing an enterprise-level security architecture for multi-environment applications, Uli, Eric, and David—AKA the Armchair Architects— will discuss the importance of understanding both the effectiveness of security setups and the evolving threat landscape.
In this episode, you’ll gain insights into how architects can ensure robust security across various environments, manage threat detection drift, and implement zero trust architectures, particularly for sensitive data like personally identifiable information (PII).
Be sure to watch part one of “Armchair Architects: Enterprise Security and Governance” (https://aka.ms/AzEssentials/179), before watching this video.
