A new four‑part webinar series that helps you turn the 2026 identity strategy into actionable steps—with demos, templates, and guidance from Microsoft Entra.
Organizations everywhere want easier ways to manage identities, reduce risk, and update access for people, apps, devices, and even agents. In her recent identity priorities blog, Joy Chik shared a clear direction for the future: identity isn’t only about security—it’s becoming the foundation for everything. The path ahead includes uniting identity and network access with an Access Fabric, improving governance, and bringing AI-powered protection and operations to every team. The possibilities have never been greater.
But vision only becomes impact when teams can do something with it.
That’s why we’re launching a new Microsoft Entra Access Priorities Series: a new, practitioner‑focused webinar series designed to help you turn Joy’s strategic guidance into actionable, demos-first steps you can take immediately.
Think of this series as your guided path to making the most of your Microsoft Entra portfolio: secure foundations, quick wins, and repeatable patterns you can put into practice to strengthen your access strategy and make the most of the Microsoft Entra portfolio.
In four sessions, our experts will show you how to build secure identity and network access, move away from legacy VPNs, enable secure AI access, and simplify operations with Copilot in Microsoft Entra. Each session includes demos and templates to speed up your identity strategy.
