Secure Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and Entra ID Data Against Cyber Threats

Executive leaders must balance digital transformation with cybersecurity resilience. Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and Dynamics 365 enhance efficiency but also expand the attack surface, heightening risks of data breaches. Protecting critical business data is a strategic imperative, not just an IT concern.

A proactive cybersecurity approach leverages historic data as an indicator of compromise (IoC). Analyzing past incidents, authentication trends, and deviations in backup snapshots enables Cyber Security teams to detect subtle threats early, strengthening defenses against evolving risks. By transforming cybersecurity from reactive protection to predictive intelligence, organizations enhance resilience and ensure long-term security success.

Strengthen cyber resilience for Entra ID and Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and Dynamics 365 form the backbone of many business operations, seamlessly integrating to drive efficiency and innovation. However, this interconnected power also expands the attack surface, increasing the potential risk of data loss and security breaches. Protecting your critical data across these platforms is no longer optional—it’s essential to ensuring business continuity and swift recovery from cyber incidents. In this session, we’ll uncover the key vulnerabilities and provide actionable strategies to strengthen your data security posture against evolving threats

PowerBI is bad ass and here's why...

I've lived in the reporting and dashboard space for a long time. I remember converting 1600 reports over from Crystal Reports to the first release of SSRS. Yes! It's been that long. That’s why I can say that PowerBI, although not perfect, is absolutely one of the best tools Microsoft has released in years. I’ll talk about stuff and then we’ll walk through building out a dashboard and reporting solution.

Knowledge Management + Microsoft 365 = Bad Ass

Knowledge management is the practice of organizing and bringing information together as a whole. It involves a concerted effort and commitment by an organization to promote a single source and to deliver that information to users in a relevant and efficient manner. It is not a technology, software application or platform. We will explore the questions centered around Microsoft 365 of "Can it be used?", "Should it be used? "How can be it used?", and "What should I consider?".

Architecting an end to end data driven solution in 365

Business problems that need data driven solutions don't all require massive investments in infrastructure (native or cloud). We will discover the power of solution architecture and Microsoft 365 apps to solve everyday business problems.

What should you know before you write that first line of code for Microsoft 365

You're getting ready for a new project for 365. You're a software developer / engineer and your go to is a custom application. You know the APIs, you know how to write code. You're ready to go. You may even have another project similar so you could just copy that and change a few things around.

Do you know what the security posture is of the organization? Do you understand the roles that will be using your solution? Do you know what the organization has planned for 365?

The application you create is only one part of what will make it successful. We will discuss a series of topics that can help the successful rollout and adoption of your next custom or customized solution for Microsoft 365.

How data visualization drives adoption for your knowledge management program

So you have or want to build a knowledge management program for your organization. Oftentimes, reporting is last on the list of features to consider. Reporting, dashboards, data visualization should be at the forefront of any km program. With it you can not only drive adoption but it can be supporting facts to the support you may need to grow your team or gain approval for upgrading your licensing.

Be Ready: Protecting Microsoft 365 Data from Cyber Attacks

Your company has made significant investments in Microsoft 365—through licenses, solutions, and dedicated staff. With growing threats to the Microsoft ecosystem, it's crucial that you understand your role in responding to cyber attacks. Every Microsoft 365 professional needs to be aware of the NIST 2.0 framework and the expectations of your role to ensure a swift, effective defense.
In this session, you will deepen your knowledge in these critical areas, empowering you to protect your organization and contribute to a more effective, coordinated response to cyber attacks.

Cyber security, data security, data protection

Hell yes you can create an Employee Recognition solution using Microsoft 365

With Microsoft 365 you have the underlying apps to provide an end to end solution with employee recognition. Let's break down the architecture, build out where you collect information, process and extend the data with Power Automate (I still call it Flow in my mind), communicate status and get approvals using Exchange Online and Teams and absolutely, visualize the data with the best app ever..PowerBI.

Regardless of the size of your organization, you have options when managing Employee Recognition.

Let's build an Employee Recognition solution together!

Cyber Resilience for Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365 & Entra ID

Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting business-critical Microsoft 365 and Entra ID environments. This session highlights the critical, unasked questions that organizations must begin asking to strengthen their preparedness and resilience. We’ll examine the evolving threat landscape and spotlight the questions your security, IT, backup, and collaboration teams should be asking of each other to ensure data can be restored quickly, confidently, and to a verified pre-attack state.

Do you know who else is using AI? Cybercriminals are.
