Data-Centric Security Bootcamp
The Data-Centric Security Bootcamp is a hands-on workshop focused on strengthening data security using zero trust principles.
Held on the first day of the European Identity and Cloud Conference, it provides practical guidance on securing data, enforcing access controls and policies, and mitigating risk in enterprise environments.
Led by NextLabs experts, the sessions cover policy enforcement and dynamic authorization for effective zero-trust data security.
Seats are limited. Early registration recommended.

Deutsche Telekom, a global leader in digital access, shares how it consolidated its IT infrastructure under a Zero Trust Architecture to continuously protect sensitive information. By implementing NextLabs’ Zero Trust Data Security, Deutsche Telekom unified its data protection processes across all major platforms for extensive user bases.
This approach enabled Deutsche Telekom to:
- Automate and standardize security measures while adopting a global ERP strategy with strict data access controls.
- Enhance cloud computing capabilities and protect against unauthorized access and data leakage.
- Reduce operational costs through a no-code approach while maintaining continuous protection of sensitive data.
Implement field-level encryption, enforce privacy policies, and strengthen data governance across the organization.
Takeaways:
- Automate access and protection of data using the least privilege principle and classification to dynamically protect sensitive information wherever it is used or stored.
- Simplify management of data protection policies to prevent unauthorized access to restricted data.
- Streamline policy administration through a unified platform to respond to new cybersecurity requirements in real-time.
Explore Zero Trust Data-Centric Security
As data spreads across cloud, on-premises, and mobile environments, protecting it requires more than traditional perimeter-based approaches. At the event, we will explore Zero Trust Data-Centric Security, a modern approach that places data at the center of security while enabling seamless access for authorized users, internal or external.
Key Aspects
- Dynamic policy enforcement: Apply data security policies in real time at the moment of access, ensuring continuous protection across all environments.
- Comprehensive coverage: Protect data at rest, in transit, and in use – across applications, databases, and structured or unstructured data stores.
- Zero trust principles: Every access request is verified and granted on a least-privilege, need-to-know basis, whether inside or outside the corporate network.
- Seamless collaboration: Maintain consistent security policies even when sharing data with partners or external stakeholders.
