Designing a holistic, granular and effective Microsoft Purview Endpoint Data Loss Prevention solution to secure sensitive data exfiltration actions on Windows 10/11 and macOS devices can be a daunting task. The key difficulty - and value! - lies in adapting your solution based on the actual usage patterns from the organization you're working with. To build a truly fit-for-purpose production solution with Endpoint DLP, you'll need to accomlish things like: - Mapping various categories of cloud domains targeted by file uploads and content paste activities - Identify network and local printers that are used commonly for print jobs involving sensitive information - Understanding the often sprawling jungle of network shares used by employees and accounting for them - Discover usage patterns of removable USB media across roles.. and more. All of these tasks get exponentially more complex as the size of the organization grows. There is a way forward though: getting comfortable with KQL in Advanced Hunting and Log Analytics. I'll share and demonstrate how I routinely design and build Endpoint DLP data security solutions for organizations of all sizes using repeatable patterns and practices. We'll also get into how I've found it essential to use Generative AI (doesn't have to necessarily be Copilot!) to speed up a few of the most demanding parts of the Endpoint DLP solution design process. During the session, I'll share my favorite KQL queries and how to vary them to meet your requirements - and how to turn the information you get from them into practical solution design. This session is useful for any IT pro, security architect and data security responsible looking to create or maintain a functional Endpoint Data Loss Prevention solution.

Expectation vs. Reality: Crushing user experience and productivity in the name of security

security

Cybersecurity is ultimately all about balancing risk management with productivity. Too often the mentality is: identify the bad thing, block the bad thing, tell the users to shun the bad thing, case closed, kingdom saved - right? Our experience says something is missing from that equation: the human factor and employee experience. By treating business users like sheep, we are disregarding three of the most powerful drivers of security risks: frustration, creativity and most important: laziness. Whenever people encounter unexpected obstacles that they are motivated to overcome, we have an uncanny ability to find surprising ways to bypass them - unauthorized jury-rigged solutions which are often far worse for an organization's security posture than the original risk the technical controls were meant to protect from. In this session, two seasoned security pros versed in psychology and equipped with deep practical experience unpack how and why idealistic and uncompromising security initiatives can (and often do) eventually backfire, manifesting as a silent and unmitigated workaround culture that breeds inefficiencies and discontent, raising new security risks and ultimately undermining the competitive edge of the business itself. You will leave the session with platform agnostic tips and tricks, along with a fresh outlook to help you properly use the licenses and tools you already have. For example, you’ll be able to: - Go from BlockPoint to SharePoint, opening up secure collaboration by using Microsoft Purview capabilities like DLP and Information Protection - Avoid an exodus from Windows devices towards often looser-managed platforms like MacOS, driven by the desire for more user freedom - Set up guardrails for handling business data on unmanaged devices with a thoughtful implementation of MAM - Provide access to generative AI without compromising on essentials like audit logging and data security The session is recommended for anyone looking for a fresh perspective on an important topic – especially security architects, technical experts and IT decision makers.

While Copilot Agents are the cutting edge of innovation in modern work, Dataverse has already established itself as a leading component of business applications strategies worldwide, while Fabric is now becoming an essential part of our business solutions around Dataverse. AI, data and Power Platform are a powerful mix. In this session we will guide you through the governance and management of the data, with a mixture of demos and real life stories, to help you know what to use where and give you a glimpse of what is coming next on the roadmap. In our experience however, one thing is clear: data security capabilities from Purview and other services are often overlooked or underutilized. To help correct that, we'll dive in and explore how to unlock their full potential. We'll demonstrate how to build a sustainable and secure framework, with sensitive data accounted for and proper guardrails in place using the capabilities available to you today. Key topics that we will demo: Discovering sensitive data in Dataverse and Fabric: What you need to know and what steps to take once you've found it Using Data Activator to drive granular, conditional real-time action and awareness based on data in Fabric Extending critical data protection to Power Platform with sensitivity labels across Copilot Agents, Dataverse, and Fabric Along the way, we'll share stories and actionable insights from our experiences in the field. This session is perfect for.. Power Platform, Dynamics 365 and Fabric admins and those with governance responsibilities Microsoft 365 data security responsibles looking to get up-to-speed on using Purview capabilities effectively Don't miss this opportunity to transform your approach to governing and securing your Copilot Agents and business applications!

Does the complexity and clumsiness of access and security role management in Power Platform and Dataverse leave you feeling unsure of how to keep things under control at scale? Do you find yourself wishing you could bring in the familiar and powerful access management and governance functionalities of Entra ID (formerly known as Azure AD) to Power Platform and Dataverse? If so, this is the right session for you! Through demos and insights, I will walk you through a proven, repeatable and easy-to-understand strategy for managing access to Power Platform environments and the Dataverse security roles in them - all powered by familiar Entra ID capabilities and only utilizing native Microsoft features. During the session, I will show you how to.. * Manage Dataverse security roles with Entra ID groups * Control access to Power Platform environments in Entra ID * Clean up security role assignments from stale user accounts * Enable easy an self-service access and role management for environment owners - no admin permissions required! * Implement just-in-time activation (with optional business justification requirements) for System Administrator and other roles - and monitor the use of these roles over time The end-to-end approach I share and demonstrate in this session is based on a set of solutions I've researched, developed, validated and implemented for real organizations over the last years. I will equip you with a set of patterns you can start implementing immediately in your own (or a customer's) organization.
