The Art of Killing Local Admin with Simon
Local administrator access is still one of the easiest ways attackers gain a foothold on Windows devices. Many organizations know this, but removing local admin rights without breaking workflows remains a challenge. In this session, Simon walks through how to reduce local admin risk using Microsoft Intune in Microsoft Entra ID–joined environments. He demonstrates practical configurations with Microsoft LAPS and Microsoft Endpoint Privilege Management, shows how Security Copilot can help with investigations, and explains where Microsoft 365 Cloud PC fits in addressing local admin access. This is a hands-on, experience-driven session focused on what works in real environments, common mistakes to avoid, and how to balance security with productivity.
Mastering Entra ID Privileged Identity Management: What, Why, and How to Do It Right with Jan Ketil
Privileged Identity Management (PIM) in Microsoft Entra ID is essential for securing administrative access and reducing risk. In this session, you’ll learn what PIM is, why it matters, and how to implement it effectively. We’ll cover setup, activation workflows, governance best practices, and advanced features like access reviews, custom roles, and privileged access groups. You’ll also see how to enforce step-up authentication and reauthentication for sensitive operations, ensuring compliance and security in your organization.
