Hybrid Identity Under Siege: Defending AD & Cloud-Based Identity
5:30pm – 8:00pm ET | Washington, DC
Event Overview
For over 25 years, Active Directory (AD) has been the backbone of enterprise identity, underpinning security, access, and trust. However, the evolving cyber threat landscape has turned AD into a primary target for adversaries. From ransomware attacks and credential theft to privilege escalation and stealthy persistence mechanisms, AD compromises are more frequent and devastating than ever.
Modern identity security is no longer about if but when an attack will occur. Yet, many organizations still lack a cyber-first incident response plan for AD. Without a robust recovery strategy, a compromised AD could mean weeks of downtime, millions in financial losses, and irreversible reputational damage.
Led by Sean Deuby, Principal Technologist, North America, Semperis, this executive roundtable will explore:
- The evolving attack landscape targeting hybrid identity environments.
- Why AD is the Achilles’ heel of enterprise security—and how attackers exploit it.
- The complexity of AD recovery and why traditional disaster recovery plans fall short.
- Proactive strategies for securing AD and ensuring rapid, malware-free recovery.
- The shared responsibility model for Microsoft Entra ID and how unprotected organizational data and configuration is at risk
