Session 1: From headlines to in control: Prevent data leaks in the age of AI
Speakers : Edine Olijve & Justine Wolters
Outline:
Recent news stories highlight how easily things go wrong for organisations: hundreds of files with sensitive data accidentally ending up in public AI tools.
The question isn’t if employees will use AI, but how to enable it safely. In this session, we will dive into the technical and human guardrails needed to keep critical data secure.
We’ll explore how Microsoft Purview and Defender for Cloud Apps block sensitive uploads to untrusted LLMs. Because technology alone isn’t enough, we’ll also look at how to engage your workforce.
We will explain why certain data belongs in Microsoft 365 Copilot or approved agents and tooling, but never in public AI apps.
Session 2: to be announced
Session 3: The Dawn Of The Mesh; Zero-Trust at scale
Speakers : Rex de Koning & Dennis Schoone
Outline:
For years, the hub‑and‑spoke model has been the familiar backbone of cloud network design—predictable, centralized, and increasingly… limiting. As organizations accelerate their cloud adoption and embrace Zero‑Trust principles, the old patterns start to show their cracks. Bottlenecks grow. Complexity creeps in. Security boundaries blur.
This session explores why the future belongs to mesh-based architectures: decentralized, identity‑driven, policy‑enforced, and built for the speed and scale of modern cloud environments. We’ll dive into how Microsoft’s cloud platform enables this shift, what it means for your security posture, and how to evolve your architecture without disrupting your business.
It’s time to rethink connectivity. It’s time to embrace the mesh.
