Join this **Identity Master Class** for an experience-based full-day deep dive into building and securing Identity and Access Management (IAM) scenarios using **Microsoft Entra** in 2026! We will cover key IAM scenarios, including **Identity Governance & Lifecycle Workflows**, **Access Control**, and **Monitoring & Insights** while highlighting Entra’s capabilities such as **Authentication & Authorization**, **Conditional Access**, **Identity Protection** and **Entitlement Management**. Participants will gain insights into why and how to implement these technologies to enhance security, optimize user experiences, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards and common frameworks like **Zero Trust**.

This Master Class will be led by renowned Identity experts **Merill Fernando**, Principal Program Manager at Microsoft, **Thomas Naunheim**, **Klaus Bierschenck**, **Pim Jacobs**, and **Jan Vidar Elven**, all Microsoft MVPs in **Security** and the **Identity & Access** area!

Agenda for the **Identity Master Class** will cover the following areas:

- Inbound Provisioning & Synchronization, covering both Hybrid and Cloud Native Identities, and Identity Lifecycle Workflows supporting Joiner, Leaver, and Mover IAM scenarios.
- Securing Identities (Human and Non-Human), Authentication and Authorization with Authentication Methods & Conditional Access.
- Securing Privileged Access, principles and methods for controlling end-user, workload identities, and separate admin identities with privileged access to your Entra ID tenant and resources.
- Access Management for Internal and External Identities using Entitlement Management and Entra ID Governance.
- Optimizing Identity Security Exposure with Zero Trust Assessments, Tests, and Monitoring tools (Third Party, Community, or Microsoft), and investigate potential Attack Paths with Microsoft Security Exposure Management.
- Effective and Secure Use of AI and Agents for securing and providing insights for Microsoft Entra.
- Maintaining, Monitoring & Best Practices for Disaster Recovery of Entra ID objects, including Importing and Exporting Configurations and Policies.
- While serious in content, we’ll have fun in style and delivery, with several opportunities for engaging in games (Kahoot style), quizzes & surveys, and will finish with a case-oriented of the day with interactive engagement from the audience, leaving no questions unanswered!
