Strong Authentication with Entra Certificate-Based Authentication

Monday September 16, 2024 15:45 - 16:45 CEST

Clubraum 2

Identity is the most critical aspect of security. Ensuring that users are who they claim to be is vital. Today, usernames and passwords alone are insufficient. Although Multifactor Authentication (MFA) mitigates some risks associated with standard credentials, digital certificates are a better choice. Organizations can improve their security posture by adopting strong, phishing-resistant credentials in digital certificates by implementing Microsoft Entra Certificate-Based Authentication (CBA).

Eliminate privileged Entra roles in your tenant

Monday September 16, 2024 17:00 - 18:00 CEST

Auditorium

Environments with multiple Global Administrators, Intune Administrators and Security Administrators are a nightmare for every Microsoft Security Consultant.
Therefore it is important to implement least privilege, protect critical access and apply just in time access.

During this session we will in take a deep dive into the world of Intune Scope Tags, Entra Administrative Units, Defender Device groups and how to leverage access to those objects using Privileged Identity Management.

We provide you valuable insights from our experience deploying these solutions with large enterprise customers.

Let’s replace your VPN with a real Zero Trust Network Access !

Tuesday September 17, 2024 08:00 - 09:00 CEST

Clubraum 1

We've spent the last few years modernizing clients, kicking them out of Active Directory and optimizing them to run outside the corporate network. The use of modern protocols, conditional access and the integration of MDE and Intune now enables us to access cloud services with access management that largely complies with the principles of zero trust.

However, when it comes to accessing legacy apps in the old data center world, we unfortunately all too often fall back on the old solutions - perhaps enhanced with some SAML and certificates - and features such as microsegmentation and session revocation are sought in vain.

In this session I would like to discuss and show why Microsoft's SSE solution is so much closer to my understanding of Zero Trust Network Access by explicitly checking every session in the network during its establishment, limiting access to the least necessary and disconnecting in case of a breach.

As a security architect who used to deal intensively with networks and in recent years with identity, I am very much looking forward to a deep dive on the topic of Single SignOn when accessing the OnPrem environment with Private Access.

In addition to the way the technology works, you will learn what needs to be considered during POC and rollout and what differences there are to a classic VPN project.

Reimagine your security operations with a unified platform

Tuesday September 17, 2024 12:40 - 13:40 CEST

Luzerner Saal

Modern security teams use various tools like SIEM, XDR, SOAR, UEBA, exposure management, and threat intelligence. However, these tools generate a large number of alerts and security signals, making it difficult for security professionals to manage them efficiently. In this session, Ramya Chitrakar will discuss how a unified security operations platform can break down these silos with a seamless experience, allowing security admins and analysts to work more effectively to level up your company’s defenses and ultimately bring down your MTTR in the case of an attack.

Kerberos is alive and kicking in the cloud

Tuesday September 17, 2024 15:20 - 16:20 CEST

Clubraum 1

Microsoft first introduced Kerberos as an authentication protocol in Windows 2000 Active Directory. Since then, many extensions to the protocol have been introduced to allow for constrained delegation, protocol translation and more. You may be surprised that Kerberos is still actively used in Microsoft Entra and solves several challenges, including SSO for hybrid users, hybrid user sign-ins using FIDO keys, Kerberos sign-in to Windows auth websites, and user authentication to cloud-hosted SMB file share.

Come to this session, and John Craddock will show you how Kerberos works and how Microsoft has implemented Kerberos in the cloud. This is packed with demos and insights that will allow you to troubleshoot your environments. Don't miss this session!

Troubleshooting Modern Authentication Protocols – OAuth 2.0 & OpenID Connect

Wednesday September 18, 2024 09:20 - 10:20 CEST

Clubraum 1

If you have been working with claims-aware apps, you may have experience with WS-Federation and SAML. As we move into a new era of authentication and delegation, the modern authentication protocols OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 are becoming predominant. Giving us seamless authentication with perhaps SSO when it all works, but what if it doesn’t, do you know how to troubleshoot?
Come to this deep-dive session with John Craddock, and he will share his extensive real-world experience. You will learn how to rapidly troubleshoot issues and identify the source of the problem whether it be an application issue or as the result of a misconfigured identity provider (IdP). You will discover how to troubleshooting with Entra ID as the IdPs. The session is packed with demos, the session will be high on the geek meter scale and shouldn’t be missed.

Zero Trust - Dope or Nope?

Wednesday September 18, 2024 10:40 - 11:40 CEST

Auditorium

Zero Trust must be the worst name in the history of Security. But is it just a bad name? Does it really offer worthwhile goals or is it an overkill? I hear sales pitches for it, like for many other security solutions, that concentrate on "What we can't allow anymore because of changed security landscape" all the time. Why does security have to be so negative? A well done Zero Trust environment gives you "the ability to work as efficiently and securely, whether you are sitting in Starbucks or the corporate office" - Which I believe most of us want. Come and listen to this talk about rights and wrongs of how to achieve Zero Trust and how keep Security as what it's meant to be - a support function for a happy workforce.

Control Plane under Control: Securing Privileged Access by Microsoft Enterprise Access Model

Thursday September 19, 2024 10:40 - 11:40 CEST

Clubraum 1

Over the last years, Microsoft has released many design principles, best practices and security concepts for securing privileged access in a Microsoft Cloud environment. This includes also the "Enterprise Access Model" as an evolution of the previously known (Active Directory) ESAE approach.

But what are real-world experiences and examples of implementing those reference architecture? Which security controls should be applied? Who and what should be defined as "Tier0" or "Control Plane"? Which privilege escalation paths should be considered even in a tiered administration model?

In this demo-drive session, I will share my learnings and practical approach to identify, protect and monitor the high-privileged assets in Microsoft Entra. We will go through related features and monitoring capabilities but also limitations to implement a tiered administration model in a cloud environment. In addition, I will show insights of my free commmunity tool "EntraOps" which allows to automate classification and protection of privileged assets in your environment.

One Year of Fighting Adversary-in-the-Middle, notes from the field

Thursday September 19, 2024 12:40 - 13:40 CEST

Clubraum 2

Last 1,5 year we were faced with a new advanced phishing technique, called adversary-in-the-middle. This is an advanced method to bypass multiple forms of MFA.

In this session Kenneth and Erik we do a deep dive into this topic.

First of alll we start with a small demo of the AiTM case

Then we will go through our options to fight this by using differente strategies like implementing phising resistant MFA methodes or using simple Conditional Access policies, or advanced Entra ID P2 Protection methods.

After this session you will have enough information to stop this attack in several ways each with it's own advangtages and drawbacks.

Zero Trust - Zero Gap? Spotlight on (new) uncovered aspects of your CA design

Thursday September 19, 2024 15:20 - 16:20 CEST

Auditorium

Conditional Access is the heart of Microsoft's Zero Trust implementation as its policy enforcement engine and Microsoft introduces constantly new features to cover more and more use cases and integrations. This includes granular conditions and controls for specific authentication methods, restricted sessions and authentication flows but also new capabilities to re-trigger a policy evaluation.

In this session, we will discuss the latest features and their use cases and also challenges that you may not address in your current ruleset. Starting from automation for deployment, exclusion handling and gap monitoring, up to missing strong policy design to prevent rogue devices or protect privileged users.
