As hosts of the IT Bros podcast, Raymond Comvalius and I have interesting discussions with many of the listeners that we meet outside of our recording studio. When Edmond, one of our devoted listeners, asked us to divulge on authentication methods and Microsoft accounts vs work or school accounts, the idea to speak on the technology day from his employer was born…

Raymond and I will present to 60-minute sessions:

Entra ID Applications: Five Do’s and Don’ts for this potential blind spot

Wednesday April 16, 2025, 11:15 AM – 12:15 PM, Security Track

Microsoft offers application integration features in Entra for single-tenant applications, multi-tenant applications and workload identities. Just like every other feature in Entra, management, governance, and security for applications require a certain level of attention.

Unfortunately, application governance is not part of the official Microsoft curriculum, nor any of the Microsoft Entra SKUs or IAM solutions. For most Entra admins this is a huge and potentially dangerous blind spot. In this session, we provide better optics around the situation and our real-world insights, as experienced with Entra ID application governance.

Sprinkled throughout the session will be valuable tips and tricks specifically designed to keep Microsoft Entra Enterprise Applications and Application Registrations in check, making this is a MUST attend session for all Entra admins!

Are you ready for Entra Connect Cloud Sync!? Do you mean; Is Cloud Sync ready for me?

Wednesday April 16, 2025, 2:15 PM – 3:15 PM, Security Track

Yes, you heard it right: Microsoft only invests in Entra Connect Cloud Sync as the synchronization tool between Active Directory and Entra ID. Already, some synchronization features are only available when an organization adopts Cloud Sync. This leaves Forefront Identity Manager, Microsoft Identity Manager and Entra Connect Sync admins in the cold.

Is today the right day to adopt Entra Connect Cloud Sync? Find out as we explore the installation, configuration, scalability, supportability and migration options and limits. They help you to make the right choices, so your synchronization efforts don’t come to a grinding halt in the next coming years.

As an Entra admin, attend this session when you want to take your hybrid identity to the next level without burning bridges.

During the event, photos will be taken for internal use. Don't want to be visible in the photo? Then ask for the special lanyard when you get your badge at the beginning of the RDW TechDay. This makes it visible that you don't want to be photographed.
