Session 1: "In a Galaxy far far away... there's no more Active Directory" by Martin Bonelli
There are increasing opportunities to reduce reliance on traditional Active Directory, but of course, it's not that easy. This session explores where we are today and how to start a possible transition.
Learn about the latest features in Entra ID that enable cloud-based control over your AD environment and unlock new possibilities for modern identity and access management.

Let’s embark on this journey together -> and who knows, maybe we’ll finally destroy the Death Star of Active Directory!

Session 2: "Protect your Tokens! FIDO won't help you!" by Marco Schmidt
Tokens are the backbone of modern authentication—but they’re also prime targets for attackers. While FIDO protects against phishing, it won’t stop token theft, session hijacking, or replay attacks. In this session, we’ll explore real-world attack techniques targeting tokens in Microsoft Entra ID. More importantly, we’ll dive into practical defenses: Conditional Access, Token Protection, Continuous Access Evaluation (CAE), and monitoring strategies to keep your environment secure. If you think FIDO is enough, think again—your tokens need more protection!
