Join us for our next event at November, 8th 2018 at Osmab Lounge in cologne.

Finally, we can announce our Trust in Tech – Modern Secure Workplace Summit on November 8th in Cologne. Where we are more than proud to have David James, Partner Director of Engineering for Configuration Manager at Microsoft with us. Besides many other high-profile speakers, he will deliver two sessions on the current and future releases of Configuration Manager. Join us for plenty of Microsoft Ignite announced material and expert lessons learned. We will guide you through the journey of modern management, enriched with the outstanding knowledge of our experts. Ask, share and discuss your daily challenges and take an active role in the development of further ConfigMgr releases.

David James | David will deliver two sessions on the current and future releases of Configuration Manager. In addition you have the chance to participate in the development of ConfigMgr as Djam challenges you to bring every question and feature ask to improve ConfigMgr.

Mirko Colemberg | Beer Brewing could be simple in many ways, as also the process to implement Modern Management in a Classic on-premises environment. We will learn you how the process and roadmap will be build for modern management in several steps to reach the goal in your company. There are so many scenarios to do this, just like brewing an excellent beer. All the steps to go modern are based on the steps like you would brew Beer. All the tools you could use around Win 10 to accomplish your scenarios to go modern. The tools to have a look at are auto – piloting, Provisioning Packages, 3-Party tools, Co-Management, Windows 10, Windows Insiders for Business, etc.

Kenny Buntinx | With the rapid releases sometimes it is difficult to keep up with the latest and greatest in new features and updates for Configuration Manager Current Branch.
This session will give an overview of those features that you may have missed and how you can start using them in your environment. Mixed with a sneak peek on what features to expect in the near future and this should be the perfect session to kick off your day.

Oliver Kieselbach | We will dive into the new capabilities to deploy Win32 applications in a modern management cloud environment with Microsoft Intune. From end to end including all the inner workings and troubleshooting advices. What can we achieve, where are the limitations and what can we expect for the future. After this session you should be ready to start using this new capability for modern managed environments.

Eric Soldierer | Cloud adoption is on the rise but not all applications and use cases are ready to be moved to the cloud. This creates an environment where data and services are scattered across locations. In this talk I am going to address the question of “How to access both locations securely?”. I demonstrate how Azure Conditional Access and MicroVPN via NetScaler can help you master these challenges.

Join us for our next event on the 30th August

Talk1 : Using the “bloodhound” for good and evil

Mature companies rate their information and the systems storing this information. I guess everyone agrees that a Domain Controller has a higher criticality (CIA) than a small system hosting a cantina food-plan webserver. But what if an attacker is able to get from this uncritical system to the domain controller in just a few hops using lateral movement and targeted mimikatz to scratch passwords from memory? Also would you solve a vulnerability faster if you would better understand this risk? Within this talk I will show you how to visualise this risk with the tool Bloodhound and how Red Teamers can exploit this knowledge.

Speaker : Stefan Molls

Stefan Molls is Director of Technical Account Management at Tanium, a software framework specialised in managing and securing large enterprise environments. Before joining Tanium he worked at companies like ThyssenKrupp and Siemens were he specialised in Information Security, Incident Response, Forensics and Red Team assessments. If Stefan is not in front of his computer he loves to do martial arts like TaeKwonDo or Boxing.

Talk2 : Managing Team Secrets Effectively

People did a great job in making our deployments secure. We already use automated and secured build pipelines and our Clusters and VMs are locked in.   But there is another integral part which often does not get the appropriate attention: the local developer workflow. Whenever we integrate with 3rd Party APIs or multiple services, credentials of any form are necessary. Surely saving these passwords in plaintext inside a github repository won’t fit the purpose. But would an on premise hosted wiki be safe enough? Or passing around a sticky note with a handwritten password on it?   Any secret that’s ever written to disk or on paper is another attack vector. Not just on production servers or continuous integration, but especially in the developer workflow. If your unencrypted laptop gets stolen or your private source code repository appears to be not so private after all, you’d hope your project’s secrets wouldn’t be compromised.   In this hands-on talk I will show the way we approached this challenge in real world projects using a few simple and automation friendly commandline tools.
