In today's security landscape, compromised identities are the leading cause of cyber breaches, with 80% of incidents involving identity theft. Active Directory (both on-prem AD and Entra ID) is often a prime target, as controlling AD means controlling the organization.
Identity protection is so important to Microsoft that its the first pillar in their comprehensive and newly expanded Secure Future Initiative announced in May 2024 and its why both Quest and Microsoft are driving awareness for the Identity Threat Protection and Response (ITDR) cybersecurity discipline.
Join us for an information-packed event with Microsoft and Quest security experts to discuss the future of hybrid identity, including:
- The expanding attack surface with Active Directory and Entra ID
- Microsoft’s Secure Future Initiative: Identity Protection
- Combatting misconfigurations, missed alerts, and cybersecurity shortage
- Modernizing hybrid AD to take advantage of cloud-native capabilities like Security Copilot
- Applying Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) security principles with Quest
Join us in Amsterdam on the 16. October to learn practical strategies to mitigate threats, streamline your security processes with ITDR and cloud-native capabilities, and gain actionable insights into protecting your critical Microsoft assets.
Location: Evert van de Beekstraat 354, 1118 CZ Schiphol, Netherlands
