Using Windows Azure for Solving Identity Management Challenges (Visual Studio Live, Las Vegas 2013)

Most conference presentations will share “best practices”. That’s not this presentation. In this session we'll discuss what NOT to do. These surefire fail activities are inspired from real customer engagements (names changed to protect the innocent). Looking at the unsuccessful architecture and development patterns of others can help us not repeat the same mistakes in future cloud projects. -- This was originally presented at StirTrek 2014. --

This document summarizes Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and how it compares to on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). Azure AD provides identity and access management in the cloud, while AD DS is installed on-premises. Key differences include Azure AD being multi-tenant, lacking group policy support, and using REST APIs instead of LDAP. The document also outlines integrating Azure AD and AD DS through synchronization and federation for single sign-on capabilities across cloud and on-premises applications and services.

[Mustafa Toroman, Saša Kranjac] More and more services we use every day are moving to cloud. This creates many challenges, especially if we look at things from security point of view. Taking services out of our datacenter, opens our data and services to new kind of threats but fortunately new tools are available to protect us. See from both perspectives how attackers can try to exploit our journey to cloud and how can we detect threats and stop attacks before they occur. We will show examples how Red Team attacks our Cloud and how Blue Team can detect and stop Red Team.

The document discusses the Windows Azure platform, which provides an internet-scale, highly available cloud fabric hosted in Microsoft's globally distributed data centers. It offers compute, storage, data, integration, access control, and other services to build applications that can automatically scale out and integrate on-premises systems. The document outlines different application models, architectural patterns, and benefits of building on the Windows Azure platform.

Windows Azure Active Directory provides identity and access management in the cloud. It acts as an identity provider and security token service, supporting protocols like WS-Federation, OAuth 2.0 and SAML 2.0. It offers single sign-on for Azure applications, manages users and groups, and can integrate with on-premises Active Directory. Benefits include not needing to implement your own authorization and avoiding single points of failure compared to Active Directory Federation Services.

Azure AD Connect allows syncing of local Active Directory accounts to Azure Active Directory. It requires an Azure AD global administrator account, an enterprise administrator account for the local AD, a SQL Server database, and meeting server and hardware requirements. The setup process involves creating a global administrator account, installing Azure AD Connect, and configuring it for initial or subsequent synchronization of users and groups between the local and cloud directories.

There is no denying that Office 365 can make us highly productive, sharing and collaborating with coworkers, partners and clients. But, does it take care of our security and compliance issues? Is our data secure in Office 365? Yes, and no. The security of our information in Office 365 is a shared responsibility between Microsoft (the cloud provider) and us (the customers). Office 365 is a secure platform, but to truly secure our data we must make effective use of the security capabilities and features provided within the platform. We must also have strong information governance structures in place to control how information is shared and accessed through the platform. This session will provide a detailed review of the Office 365 Security and Compliance Center, including how to use the built in capabilities for alerts, data loss prevention policies, activity audit logs, advanced security management and customer lockbox. We'll also review recommended information governance and security practices based on customer experiences to help you effectively secure your information in Office 365 and uphold your end of the shared responsibility.

This document discusses using federated identity management with Azure AppFabric Access Control Service (ACS) and Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) for single sign-on in software as a service applications. The solution allows leveraging popular identity providers like Google and Yahoo for authentication while avoiding the need to manage user accounts. ACS acts as an aggregator between identity providers and relying parties. WIF is used to integrate applications with ACS and manage claims. The approach favors proven security standards over custom code and avoids storing sensitive user data.

This document provides an overview of Windows Azure AppFabric. It discusses the identity and access control, service bus, and caching services that AppFabric provides.
