Dynamic Defense - Context-Based Access Control and Zero Trust

Learn about implementing context-based access control and Zero Trust principles in this 30-minute Cloud Security Alliance presentation. Explore how traditional access control models based on entitlements and roles can be enhanced by moving beyond binary trust decisions to incorporate contextual signals from multiple security pillars. Discover how to leverage artificial intelligence to process signals from network, device, application/workload, data, and identity components to create a dynamic defense system. Master the fundamentals of context-based access control by understanding how to define contexts using Zero Trust pillar signals, implement adaptive access controls, and utilize AI for real-time threat detection and user behavior analytics. Examine both the benefits and potential risks of AI in security, including how malicious actors might attempt to circumvent controls and how proper dataset implementation can help detect such attempts.
