Protecting Your Identities with Microsoft Defender for Identity and Microsoft Entra ID Protection 

In this session, we’ll take a practical and accessible look at the most common misconfigurations we see in real hybrid environments. We’ll break down what they actually mean, why attackers exploit them, and how they impact your overall identity security posture – without requiring deep technical expertise.

You’ll also get a guided walkthrough of the Microsoft Defender portal and Entra admin center, where we’ll show you how to:

• Understand what your identity risk signals are really telling you – and what they’re missing
  
• Identify critical configuration gaps in Defender for Identity and Entra ID Protection
  
• Automate response with risk-based Conditional Access policies before an attack spreads
  
• Demonstrate and communicate the value of identity security work to stakeholders
  

Whether you're working hands-on with security, responsible for IT operations, or simply want better visibility into identity-based attacks like Pass-the-Hash, or leaked credentials – this session will give you actionable insights you can use right away.
