What is the best way to monitor Windows Update compliance in a cloud-native environment? Keeping devices updated is one of the most critical responsibilities for endpoint administrators. But verifying that updates are not only installed but also deployed within the required timeframes can be challenging. Session: Monitoring Windows Update Status in the Cloud-Native Environment Speaker: ⭐️ Panu Saukko @panusaukko In modern environments, administrators rely on several tools to track update status.

Why do many attacks succeed even in environments protected with modern security tools? Many threat actors don’t rely on sophisticated malware. Instead, they use built-in Windows tools, a technique known as Living Off the Land, to bypass defenses and operate under the radar. Session: Using LOLBins to circumvent all your security - Even in 2026 Speaker: ⭐️ Viktor Hedberg @headburgh Even environments protected with EDR and modern security controls can still be vulnerable when attackers leverage legitimate system binaries already present in Windows. In this session, Viktor will demonstrate how LOLBins can be used to bypass security controls and why these techniques remain effective even on Windows 11 and modern security stacks. What you will learn • What Living Off the Land attacks are and how LOLBins are used • Why built-in Windows tools can bypass traditional security defenses • How attackers abuse legitimate binaries to evade detection • Practical insights to better defend modern Windows environments Discover the full agenda and all sessions at endpointsummit.com #MEMSummit #Endpointmanagement

What if managing Intune environments could become faster, smarter, and far less manual? With the rise of AI and agent-based automation, IT administrators can start transforming complex operations into intelligent workflows. Session: Vibe Coding for IT Admins: From Prototype to Production faster than a trip to Paris Speakers ⭐️ Steven Hosking @OnPremCloudGuy ⭐️ Ken Goossens @Goosken Managing devices, applications, and compliance policies in Intune can quickly become time-consuming. Many IT teams still rely on manual processes that slow down operations and make automation harder to scale.

What you will learn • How Intune architecture delivers policies, apps, and configurations to devices • Where latency can occur during the delivery process • Why some scenarios are faster than others • Recent improvements designed to increase performance and reliability Discover the full agenda and all sessions at endpointsummit.com #MEMSummit #Endpointmanagement

Who should be allowed to approve privilege elevation or sensitive administrative actions in your Intune environment? As endpoint environments grow more complex, controlling high impact actions has become just as important as managing the devices themselves. Session: From Least Privilege to Intelligent Approvals: Deep Dive into EPM, MAA, and Tasks in Intune Speakers ⭐️ Lavanya Lakshman @lavanyal ⭐️ Per Larsen @PerLarsen1975 Organizations adopting Zero Trust must ensure that privilege elevation, configuration changes, and other critical operations are properly governed. Without the right controls, these actions can introduce significant security risks. In this session, Lavanya and Per will explore how Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM), Multi Admin Approval (MAA), and Admin Tasks work together in Microsoft Intune to enforce least privilege, introduce approval workflows, and improve visibility over administrative operations. The session will also explore how AI assisted capabilities can provide contextual insights and recommendations while keeping humans firmly in control. What you will learn • How Endpoint Privilege Management helps enforce least privilege access • How Multi Admin Approval protects sensitive administrative actions • How Admin Tasks centralize elevation and approval workflows • How AI assisted insights can support better administrative decisions Discover the full agenda and all sessions at endpointsummit.com #MEMSummit #Endpointmanagement #MsIntune

Behind many modern endpoint management automations, there is one key component: Microsoft Graph API. At MEM Summit 2026, this session will help administrators move from basic knowledge to real automation possibilities. Session: Graph API from Zero to Hero Speakers ⭐️ David Brook @DBBrook24 ⭐️ Gerry Hampson @GerryHampson Automation and integration are becoming essential in modern endpoint management. The Microsoft Graph API is the gateway to automate tasks, manage devices, and interact programmatically with many Microsoft 365 services. However, for many administrators the first steps with Graph can feel complex. In this session, David and Gerry will guide attendees through the fundamentals of working with the Microsoft Graph API and demonstrate how it can be used in real scenarios to simplify administration and enable powerful automation. What you will learn • The fundamentals of authentication and authorization with Microsoft Graph • Tools and methods to get started quickly with the Graph API • Different ways to interact with Microsoft Graph in automation scenarios • How Graph API can help automate and simplify daily administrative tasks Discover the full agenda and all sessions at endpointsummit.com #MEMSummit #Endpointmanagement

#macOS is often perceived as secure by default. But is it really as secure as many organizations believe? At MEM Summit 2026, this session challenges that assumption and explores what may be hiding behind default configurations. Session: Your Mac is Lying to you: Exposing Hidden Security Risks Speakers ⭐️ Somesh Pathak @pathak_somesh ⭐️ Oktay Sari @oktay_sari Many organizations deploy macOS devices assuming that built in protections are enough. However, default settings, unclear permissions and incomplete configurations can leave gaps that attackers may exploit. In this session, Somesh and Oktay will uncover the hidden security risks that can exist in macOS environments and explain how administrators can take greater control of their security posture. The session will also explore how Microsoft Intune and Apple native controls can be used together to build a stronger and more reliable macOS security baseline. What you will learn • Common macOS security misconceptions and hidden risks in default configurations • How attackers can take advantage of poorly configured permissions and settings • Practical techniques to harden macOS devices using Microsoft Intune • How to design a macOS security baseline that goes beyond basic recommendations Discover the full agenda and all sessions at endpointsummit.com hashtag#MEMSummit hashtag#Endpointmanagement

Automation is essential for managing modern Intune environments, but securing that automation is just as important. Session: Secure your Intune Automation with Managed Identities Speakers ⭐️ Jan Ketil Skanke @JankeSkanke ⭐️ Sandy Zeng @sandy_tsang Many automation solutions still rely on stored credentials or app secrets, which can introduce unnecessary security risks. In this session, Jan Ketil and Sandy will explore how managed identities in Microsoft Entra ID can help eliminate those risks and enable secure, credential free automation for Intune environments. Using real scenarios, they will demonstrate how managed identities can be integrated with Microsoft Graph API and Azure services such as Logic Apps, Azure Functions and Azure Automation to build secure and scalable automation workflows. What you will learn • Why managed identities are a more secure alternative to app secrets • How to integrate Entra ID managed identities with Microsoft Graph for Intune automation • Practical approaches to building secure automation workflows in Azure Discover the full agenda and all sessions at endpointsummit.com #MEMSummit #Endpointmanagement

Identity attacks continue to evolve, and so must our defenses. Session : What’s Next After You Mitigated AITM? Speakers ⭐️ Erik Loef @erikloef ⭐️ Kenneth van Surksum @kennethvs Over the last decade we moved from passwords to MFA, and more recently to phishing-resistant MFA to mitigate adversary-in-the-middle attacks. But attackers continue to adapt, and new threats are emerging. In this session, Erik and Kenneth will explore what comes next in protecting identities, including risks such as token theft and session hijacking, and what organizations should consider as the next step in strengthening their identity security strategy. What you will learn • How identity attacks have evolved from passwords to AITM attacks • Why phishing resistant MFA is only part of the solution • What new threats such as token theft mean for modern identity security Discover the full agenda and all sessions at endpointsummit.com #MEMSummit #Endpointmanagement
