Experts Live NL

📅 2 June 2026 · 🎤 Live event

Two deep-dive (level 400) sessions:

Microsoft 365 Under Fire: Securing your tenant in 2026

Together with Louis Mastelinck · 10:10, Session Room 19 & 20

Microsoft 365 remains one of the most targeted enterprise platforms, with attackers continuously evolving their techniques to compromise identities, exfiltrate data, and establish persistence. This session cuts through the noise to focus on what actually matters for defending your tenant in 2026: from token theft and consent phishing to business email compromise and configuration drift, with practical hardening strategies including identity protection beyond basic MFA and Conditional Access policies that balance security with usability.

Defending the Defender: Avoiding Misconfigurations in Defender XDR

11:10, Session Room 4 & 5

Microsoft Defender XDR is a powerful security platform, but even the best tools can only perform as well as they are configured. This session shines a light on the most common misconfigurations seen in real-world Defender XDR deployments and shows how to validate your configuration, close visibility gaps, strengthen detection capabilities, and make sure Defender XDR is working for you, not against you.
