Generative AI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT, and Claude enable employees to work at unprecedented volume and speed. However, this surge in AI-generated content has also introduced new risks and exposures that regulators are now closely monitoring.

In the era of generative AI, relying solely on tools for content inspection, device control, and endpoint privilege management isn’t enough to satisfy auditors or prevent data loss. Modern compliance frameworks, such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, and CMMC, all require proof that your endpoints are correctly configured and that you have the necessary controls in place.

Join Jeremy Moskowitz, former 20X Microsoft MVP and CTO of Endpoints at Netwrix, to learn how Netwrix prevents data loss and proves compliance across multi-OS endpoint environments the quick and easy way.

During this session, Jeremy will show you how to:
· Prevent sensitive data exposure to LLMs while ensuring safe AI usage and shadow AI discovery.
· Secure USBs with MDM-style controls that include decoupled encryption keys, remote wipe, and password management
· Protect sensitive data across Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints that connect to printers, Bluetooth devices, and the internet
· Enforce least privilege and prevent unauthorized software installation without disrupting user productivity or increasing helpdesk tickets
· Generate the audit-ready evidence required for CMMC, PCI, HIPAA, NIST, GDPR, and more

You’ll leave with a clear framework for turning everyday endpoint controls into verifiable compliance - proof that your endpoints are not just locked down but entirely governed in the era of AI.

Enforce and Prove Endpoint Compliance in the AI Era

Identity systems are not longer just part of security — they are security. Active Directory and Entra ID control who can authenticate, access critical systems, and recover operations after an incident. Yet most organizations still manage them reactively, discovering gaps only after privilege escalation, lateral movement, or outages expose fundamental weaknesses.
This session is for those responsible for ensuring identity systems remain secure, operational, and recoverable under pressure. We'll walk through the reality of hybrid identity: how misconfigurations accumulate silently, how inherited permissions create shadow admin access, and why monitoring alone won't save you when your identity layer becomes the attack surface or the single point of failure.
We'll cover three critical areas:
Know your exposure: map attack paths, misconfigured trusts, and excessive privileges before adversaries do
Detect what matters: identify privilege changes and anomalous access patterns in real time across AD and Entra ID
Recover with confidence: restore identity infrastructure precisely and quickly, ensuring business continuity when not if incidents occur.

Securing Identity & Access Management in AD/Entra ID

As enterprises rapidly adopt Copilot, GenAI, and modern cloud strategies, maintaining compliance and protecting sensitive information has never been more critical. This session explores how Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) delivers the visibility and control needed to stay ahead of risk while driving innovation. You’ll learn how to:
- Safely integrate Copilot and GenAI without exposing sensitive data
- Identify where sensitive data resides and who has access to it
- Apply governance best practices from security-forward organizations
- Move beyond alerts to proactively remediate risky data exposure
- Align DSPM with today’s security and compliance frameworks

Data Security Posture Management: Visibility, Control, and Trust in a Cloud-First World

Modern Device Control and USB Security: Preventing inbound ransomware and outbound data exfiltration in the face of new threats and mixed OS environments.
Modern Device Control needs to support multiple data transfer channels, adapt to emerging business and compliance requirements, and provide detailed, context-aware protections without compromising productivity. Today, data leaves organizations not only through USB sticks, but also through wireless methods such as Bluetooth, local and network printers, peer-to-peer sharing tools like AirDrop, mobile devices, and specialized ports, such as FireWire. Managing these risks is further compounded by mixed OS environments that include Windows, macOS, and Linux.
During this webinar, attendees will learn how to overcome challenges related to:
-            Device Control: Data loss via USB, Bluetooth, printers, mobile devices, and more
-            Ransomware Protection: Blocking unauthorized devices completely and eliminating risk at the hardware level
-            Enforcing Encryption: Encrypting files and devices to accommodate authorized data transfers while controlling access to decryption keys
-            DLP for Mixed OS Environments: Overcoming the unique device control and DLP challenges associated with environments that include Windows, macOS and Linux.

The Do's and Don'ts of Device Control Beyond USB Storage

Les ransomwares demeurent l’une des menaces les plus redoutables en cybersécurité, paralysant des systèmes critiques et infligeant des pertes financières considérables aux organisations. Mais comment ces attaques se déroulent-elles réellement ?

Ransomware démasqué : Tactiques, vecteurs d’attaque et enseignements concrets

In today’s increasingly decentralized IT environments, organizations are facing a modern identity crisis—one where traditional perimeter-aligned security is no longer effective, and identity has become the new attack surface. As cloud adoption, remote work, and third-party access proliferate, meshes of identities and permissions lead to serious risks. As users gain more and more privileges, identities sprawl, and unauthorized access to sensitive data continues to grow, this session is about how to take back full control.

This webinar explores how Zero Trust principles—rooted in continuous verification and least privilege access—can help organizations regain control. By implementing fine-grained Identity and Access Management (IAM) strategies, security teams can reduce risk, enforce policy consistently across hybrid environments, and protect critical assets from identity-based threats.

Zero Trust, Full Control: Tackling the Modern Identity Crisis in Data Security

Le Role Mining est crucial pour structurer efficacement les accès utilisateurs, renforcer la sécurité, assurer la conformité et optimiser les ressources au sein des opérations d'une solution IGA.

The term “privileged access" in Windows is open to interpretation.  Are you simply talking about membership in the local Administrators group?  If so, you need to think about local accounts and if the system is joined to AD then domain accounts.  If it’s an Entra-joined Windows 11 box or an Azure VM then there’s Entra accounts that could be admins. 
But privileged access goes way beyond the Administrators group.  There are a number of admin-equivalent user rights such as “Act as part of the operating system”. 
And again, if the system is part of an AD domain, then anyone with certain group policy related permissions on the OU branch of the computer account has indirect but definite privileged access.  Likewise for systems managed by Intune.  If the system is a VM then it depends on the particular hypervisor or cloud environment.  Azure for instance provides multiple routes of privileged access into VMs based on resource group permissions.
Windows itself has multiple connection points for privileged accounts including RDP, shared folders, WinRM, RPC, etc.  Do you disable these individually or rely on Windows firewall or an external firewall?
Bottom line is there are many vectors to privileged access in Windows, and it can be confusing because so much of this functionality has accreted over time with the progression of IT eras that Windows has lived through. 
In this real training for free session, I will try to give you a comprehensive view of privileged access in Windows covering all these areas and more.  Then I will focus on key choke points that if you understand and properly control will give you confidence that privileged access to your Windows systems is truly locked down to who should actually have it.

Understanding the Multiple Layers of Privileged Access in Windows

Ransomware continues to be one of the most devastating forms of cyberattack, often leaving organizations locked out of critical systems and facing major financial losses. But how do these attacks really happen?
In this session, ethical hacker Clemens Domingo and Anthony Moillic will walk you through the anatomy of a ransomware attack—from initial access to lateral movement and payload deployment. With real-world case studies, they’ll highlight how attackers think, where organizations commonly fail, and how to tighten defenses.

You’ll learn:
The most common entry points attackers use today
How social engineering, misconfigurations, and unpatched systems lead to compromise
Real-world examples of successful attacks and near misses
How tools like PingCastle can help uncover Active Directory risks before attackers do

Active Directory has been the foundation of access management for over 25 years, used by most organizations to control access to resources both on-premises and in the cloud. Over time, IT pros have turned to forums, videos, and online communities to troubleshoot AD issues only to discover that a forgotten configuration from years ago, or a well-meaning shortcut like copying user accounts, can lead to major problems today.
With constant security updates from Microsoft and increasingly complex permission structures, many admins -new and experienced alike - struggle to understand who has access to what and why. This session helps you cut through that complexity and take control of your AD environment.

In this session, Sander Berkouwer and Netwrix Solution Engineer Darryl Baker show how PingCastle, Access Analyzer, and Threat Prevention help admins:
- Quickly and securely assign permissions across the organization
- Equip new admins with clear insights into AD and Entra ID permissions and delegations
- Detect and block unauthorized changes to prevent new security issues

Ransomware continues to be one of the most dangerous and financially devastating threats facing organizations today — but it's not just data that's at risk. Ransomware campaigns are increasingly targeting identity systems like Active Directory and Entra ID, seeking to escalate privileges with a goal of complete takeover. Securing identity has become a critical pillar in a modern ransomware defense strategy.
In this webinar, we explore the continuous evolving threat landscape of ransomware, how these attacks unfold, and why identity compromise is often the center of large-scale breaches. We break down the typical ransomware attack chain, highlighting how attackers leverage stolen credentials and Active Directory weaknesses to succeed.
We discuss major ransomware incidents, including wannacry, Revil, and lockbit with real-world examples of the severe impact identity-focused ransomware can cause. We also profile notable threat groups and their tactics to give you actionable insights into how ransomware operations work today compared to just a few years ago.
We finish the session with a live 15-minute demonstration of Netwrix Threat Prevention, showcasing how it can detect ransomware behavior early, identify anomalous activities linked to identity compromise, and automatically take action to contain and stop an attack before it spreads. We also touch on the importance of internal assessments to understand what vulnerabilities potentially lie in your environment.
Security practitioners, junior or senior will all walk away from this sessions with essential strategies to strengthen your defenses, focusing on identity protection as a core component of ransomware resilience.
