Secure Azure Resources with ASC
The Azure Security Center Workshop walks you through how you can use ASC to remediate security vulnerabilities and stay ahead of current and emerging threats with an integrated and analytics-driven approach. We go in-depth to detect actual threats earlier and explore methods to reduce false alarms. Synergy Advisors expert consultants will also talk about best practices from their years of experience working with Fortune 500 companies around this topic. In addition, there will be conversations around better together scenarios with other Microsoft products and services as well as possible areas for integration. After the workshop is completed Synergy Advisors can provide further information around Architecture Design Sessions or Proof of Concepts.
