Question

Set up a modern workplace based on Zero Trust, in which identity, device and application are weighed at every access.

• Application allow-listing with App Control for Business, introduced in phases
• Central firewall management for the workplace
• Then grew into the role of cybersecurity architect and expert solution architect

Approach

• A migration strategy per environment: merge, keep side by side, or carve out
• Migrate identities, collaboration and workplaces coherently
• Phased execution with fallback scenarios

Result

Integrations and migrations that keep running while the business keeps running, with decisions recorded up front rather than explained afterwards.
