Preparing Your Microsoft Tenant for Emerging Threats and Trends

Overview

The threat landscape is accelerating — and Microsoft cloud environments are squarely in the crosshairs. In this session, we’ll take a strategic and tactical look at how identity-based threats have evolved in the public cloud, what defenders are facing today, and where the risks are shifting next. We’ll explore current and emerging trends such as large-scale token theft, MFA fatigue, and consent phishing — and examine how developments in AI, automation, and cybercrime-as-a-service are reshaping attacker capabilities. Looking ahead to 2026, we’ll identify key focus areas for defenders: which risks deserve priority, where budgets should be aligned, and how to think tactically about preparing your Microsoft tenant to meet the next wave of cyber threats. Key takeaways: • A strategic view of current and emerging threats in Microsoft cloud • Attack trends shaping 2025 and beyond (AI, Data, Identity...) • Tactical insights on where security leaders should focus next This session is designed for cloud architects, security strategists, and IT leaders seeking to stay ahead of evolving threats — without getting lost in low-level technical detail.
