#TROOPERS26 AD & Entra ID Security Track

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The #TROOPERS26 ‘AD & Entra ID Security’ track delivered an incredible experience – much like the entire conference! We were thrilled to host some of the brightest minds in identity research alongside a highly engaged audience who brought valuable insights to the roundtable discussions. While the presentation slides have already been published on the TROOPERS website, several speakers have shared complementary tools, in-depth blog posts, and active social media threads. To make things easy, we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of all these fantastic resources from the track below.

Insights into Entra ID’s (Un)Conditional Access

Thu, 21 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

When looking at security measures in Microsoft Entra ID environments, a common recommendation is to implement Conditional Access policies.

Whether Conditional Access is implemented can be quickly checked, and you can put a check mark next to it in your best-practice compliance form. However, simply implementing conditional access will not provide much security. A phishing attack that we recently analyzed highlights this very well.

Some Things to Consider when Using EMET

Fri, 08 Aug 2014 00:00:00 +0000

In the light of the recent release of version 5.0 of Microsoft’s Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) on July 31, it seems to be more than appropriate to talk a bit about the new features and some general things to take into account when using EMET (for the new certificate pinning feature of EMET 4.0, see Friedwart’s comment). For all of you who don’t know EMET, in short, it’s a free mitigation tool for Windows developed by Microsoft, helping the user by preventing vulnerabilities in software from being successfully exploited. The tool works by protecting applications via a number of security mitigation technologies, vastly extending Windows operating system mitigation capabilities as Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR).
