ABOUT THE SESSION

Think your tenant is safe because Security Defaults are on? Think again.

We’ll safely demonstrate how attackers can still walk straight through the front door-rifle through mailboxes and move around your tenant while no one’s looking. These gaps create a dangerous false sense of security that leaves most tenants exposed.

In this fast-paced, demo-driven session, we’ll rebuild Microsoft 365 the way it should be secured-using Entra ID, Intune, and Defender for Endpoint to form a modern Zero Trust baseline.

Attendees will learn how to:

Identify the real-world gaps in Security Defaults

Design effective Conditional Access and compliance policies

Integrate identity, device, and threat signals for automatic defence

Apply a 90-day hardening plan that actually works

Come for the (safe) hack. Stay for the rebuild. Leave with a tenant that’s default to defensible.

Assumed Knowledge:

You should have an understanding of a Microsoft 365 tenant

Practical Takeaways:

Attendees will take away key areas which will keep there Microsoft 365 (including Exchange, SharePoint etc) tenant protected against attacks and how to plug the gap.

Out of Session Scope:

We will not be going through licensing, or managed security
