Microsoft's Security Adoption Model: A unified framework for security modernization
Summary
This episode of Ctrl+Alt+Azure explores Microsoft's Security Adoption Model (SAM), which consolidates a decade of security guidance into a unified framework. The model is role-aware and designed for planning security modernization across on-premises and multicloud environments. It's structured around three layers: business scenarios (the "why"), nine disciplines (the "who" — accountability), and technology pillars (the "how"). The hosts discuss what's genuinely new — the single front door and disciplines framing — versus what's been carried over from existing resources like the MCRA and CISO workshop.

We talk through what's genuinely new, the single front door and the disciplines framing, versus what's just been folded in like the MCRA and the CISO workshop.
