Modern Management Summit 2026

From a historical perspective in the scope of compromising Identitoes. we have a few waves of innovations the last 10 years. We moved from username / password to MFA. Last two years, with the adversary in the middle attacks, we need to move to more secure MFA, phishing resistant MFA. But what's next ? Think about stealing tokens from your device and reuse that on other systems.

Moving Windows management to the cloud is not just a tooling change—it requires a fundamental shift in how identity, devices, access, and security are designed. In this advanced session, Per Larsen from Microsoft’s Customer Acceleration Team (CAT) shares real world lessons learned from helping enterprises adopt cloud native Windows management aligned with Zero Trust principles.
Drawing on hands on customer engagements across complex environments, this session focuses on how organizations have re architected Windows management around verify explicitly, assume breach, and least privilege. You’ll learn how cloud native capabilities in Microsoft Intune enable stronger security posture, simpler operations, and scalable automation—without re creating legacy management patterns in the cloud.
The session highlights practical guidance and common pitfalls across identity driven access, device trust, provisioning, policy design, application control, and operational readiness. Expect concrete recommendations, architectural trade offs, and lessons learned from the field—grounded in real customer outcomes, not theory or marketing.
This is an experience driven session for architects and technical decision makers who are already on the cloud native journey and want to align Windows management with Zero Trust by design.

In this session, we’ll explore the purpose-built options for connecting to your Windows 365 Cloud PC. We’ll take a deep dive into Windows 365-enabled hardware such as Windows 365 Link devices, as well as scenarios leveraging existing endpoints through Windows 365 Boot and Windows 11 Kiosk Mode.

Drawing from real-world experiences and guidance from product engineering teams, this session will help you understand when and how to use each deployment model and equip you with the knowledge to choose the best solution for different business needs.

As Microsoft Intune continues to evolve with Intune Suite and Copilot powered experiences, understanding what is included at each licensing level is essential for effective planning and deployment. This session provides a clear, Intune only breakdown of ME3 and ME5 licensing, with a focus on what capabilities Intune admins get today and how those capabilities expand with ME5.
We’ll begin with a deep dive into ME3 for Intune, covering the core endpoint management and security capabilities available to Intune administrators. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of which Intune scenarios are fully supported under ME3, how to design standard management workflows within those boundaries, and where ME3 provides strong foundational value for organizations standardizing on Intune.
From there, we’ll walk through ME5 from an Intune perspective, highlighting how ME5 expands Intune through Intune Suite features, advanced analytics, and Copilot inclusion within the Intune experience. We’ll explain what additional scenarios ME5 enables for Intune admins, how it changes day to day operational workflows, and why ME5 is positioned as the licensing foundation for more advanced, AI assisted, and agent driven Intune scenarios.
Throughout the session, we’ll focus on practical, side by side comparisons:
•What Intune capabilities are covered in ME3
•What additional Intune Suite and Copilot aligned capabilities ME5 brings
•How Copilot fits into Intune across licensing tiers
•Common Intune specific decision points when evaluating ME3 vs ME5
We’ll close with guidance for Intune admins and decision makers on how to align licensing choices with their endpoint management goals—whether that’s maintaining a strong Intune baseline with ME3 or planning for advanced Intune Suite and Copilot adoption with ME5.
This session is ideal for Intune administrators, architects, and IT leaders who want a precise, no marketing fluff understanding of what each license unlocks inside Intune and how to plan their Intune roadmap accordingly.
