Speaker:
Waseem Awwad – Microsoft MVP, Security and Azure

Format:
Online technical clinic

Session Overview:
Identity controls are one of the most important foundations for securing Microsoft cloud environments. This online technical clinic focuses on how Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access and access review practices can help reduce risky access, strengthen governance, and improve cloud security posture.

The session will focus on practical review areas such as Conditional Access policy design, MFA enforcement, privileged access exposure, legacy authentication risks, device compliance signals, exception handling, monitoring, and periodic access review considerations. Instead of treating access control as a one-time configuration task, the clinic will show how identity policies should be reviewed, adjusted, and governed as cloud and hybrid environments evolve.

This session is suitable for security professionals, IT teams, identity administrators, cloud administrators, and anyone involved in protecting access to Microsoft cloud services.

Participants will gain a clearer understanding of how to identify risky access patterns, reduce unnecessary exposure, and apply stronger identity governance across Azure and Microsoft cloud environments.
