iO Associates are excited to bring you our next Azure Virtual Meetup! We were joined by Wim Matthyssen, Microsoft MVP and Micha Wets, Microsoft MVP. The topic of this session was ‘Azure Bastion: One Does Not Simply Walk Into My VNet!’.

Security is one of the most important things that a Cloud Admin (IT Administrator) should always keep in mind, especially when managing business critical workloads in Azure. With Azure Bastion, you remain able to connect to your laaS VMs in a secure and easy way.

In this session, you will not only discover how Bastion natively integrates with the Azure Portal but also how you can harden it with JIT and NSG’s to enhance your overall VM access security. So join us in this session to learn some best practices and tips you should keep in mind when working with this ‘jump-box-as-a-service’.
