The Dutch Microsoft Entra Community, run by fellow MVPs Pim Jacobs, Jan Bakker and Michel van Vliet and Microsoft senior product manager Stefan van der Wiele has been gaining significant traction since its inaugural meetup on February 1st, 2024. For its upcoming meetup, Raymond and I were asked to co-present one of our favorite sessions.

Entra ID Applications and Agents: Five Do’s and Don’ts

Thursday March 19th 2026, 7:40 PM – 8:40 PM

Microsoft offers application and agent integration features in Entra. Just like every other feature in Entra, management, governance, and security for applications and agents require a certain level of attention.

Unfortunately, application governance and agents are not part of the official Microsoft curriculum. 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 and agents.

We sprinkle valuable tips and tricks throughout this session, specifically designed to keep Microsoft Entra applications and agents in check, making this is a MUST attend session for all Entra admins!
