Episode Synopsis

Hybrid work, SaaS adoption, and multi-cloud environments have changed the rules. Traditional VPNs and perimeter firewalls are not enough to keep users and data safe. Microsoft’s Global Secure Access (GSA) introduces a new identity first model that ties access directly to who the user is, the device they are on, and the conditions of the request.
In this episode of The Collective Podcast, our experts Robbe Van den Daele and Thor Nicolaï explain:


What GSA is and how it fits into Microsoft’s security stack


The three traffic profiles: Private Access, Internet Access, and Microsoft 365 Access


Real world use cases, from replacing VPNs to micro segmentation


How GSA integrates with Entra ID, Microsoft 365, and even third party SSE tools


Licensing insights and where to start if you already own part of the stack


🎧 Listen now and learn how identity first security can simplify your infrastructure, reduce risk, and give your SOC the visibility it needs.
