As threats increasingly target identities, speed and consistency of response are critical. In this session, we’ll explore how Microsoft Defender XDR and Microsoft Sentinel can work together to automate high‑impact security actions—specifically disabling compromised user accounts and revoking active user sessions in near real time.

Attendees will learn how to leverage detection signals from Defender XDR and orchestrate automated response workflows in Sentinel to contain identity‑based attacks such as phishing, token theft, and account takeover. We’ll walk through practical automation patterns that reduce manual effort, shorten attacker dwell time, and enforce consistent response across the environment.

Key takeaways:

• Learn how to use Defender XDR signals to detect identity attacks

• See how Sentinel automates responses to phishing and account takeovers

• Apply automation patterns that save time and stop attackers faster

Whether you’re looking to mature your SOAR strategy or operationalize Zero Trust principles, this webinar will demonstrate how automation can transform identity protection from reactive to proactive.

Who Should Attend?

This hands-on seminar is open to Developers, Senior Software Engineers, IT Pros, Architects, IT Managers, Citizen developers, Technology Product Managers, IT leaders, Enterprise Architects, Chief Analytics Officers, and Chief Technology Officers and decision-makers interested in learning about Azure OpenAI & Azure Applied AI to infuse artificial intelligence and build next-generation multimodal applications. A multimodal GenAI application seamlessly generates high-quality content across text, images, video, and audio, all at once. AI agents are designed to perform specific tasks, answer questions, and automate processes for users. These agents vary widely in complexity. They range from simple chatbots, to copilots, to advanced AI assistants in the form of digital or robotic systems that can run complex workflows autonomously. Experience with either C# or Python is preferred, but it is not required. No prior knowledge of AI is required. Although this is not a seminar/ workshop on data & analytics, data scientists will find it very useful too, as will data stewards and technically minded data protection officers and Red Teams.
