Modern Management Summit 2026

Ready to tackle Apple device management at scale but not sure where to start? This workshop cuts through the complexity and gets you building a working infrastructure fast. You'll configure Apple Business Manager, connect with resellers, pick the right MDM for your environment, and get devices enrolled with solid security from day one. We'll wire up identity providers, push apps efficiently, and show you how Apple's ecosystem actually works in practice. No vendor pitches—just straight-up technical guidance you can implement immediately, whether you're deploying your first Mac or scaling to thousands of devices.

Security teams are often overwhelmed by large numbers of security recommendations in Defender, many labeled as high or critical. The real challenge is not finding risks, but deciding which ones truly matter first. This session shows how a tier-based risk analysis model can bring clarity and focus to security prioritization.

We introduce a practical approach that combines security impact and real-world consequences into a custom risk score, which is then translated into clear priority tiers (Tier 0–3). These tiers make it easier to understand urgency, align actions across teams, and focus remediation efforts where they have the highest effect.

In this session, you will learn:
* Why traditional severity ratings fail to support effective prioritization
* How to calculate risk based on impact and consequence, not just likelihood
* How Tier 0–3 prioritization simplifies decision-making and remediation planning
* How tiering helps align security priorities with business-critical assets

By the end of the session, you will understand how tier-based risk analysis reduces noise, improves consistency, and enables security teams to act faster and more confidently on the recommendations that matter most.

The rise of Copilot+ PCs and AI-powered features in Windows is transforming how organizations work. From Improved Windows Search and Click to Do to Accessibility Enhancements, these innovations promise productivity gains, but they also introduce new management challenges. In this session, we’ll explore the latest AI features in Windows, their enterprise value, and how IT admins can securely deploy and manage them using tools like Microsoft Intune. You’ll leave with actionable strategies to balance innovation with compliance and control.

This session highlights how Microsoft Intune enables secure, modern, and unified management across iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and visionOS. Built on a platform-native approach powered by Declarative Device Management (DDM), it demonstrates how to achieve responsive configuration, reduced administrative overhead, and enhanced device autonomy.
We will examine core security capabilities, device hardening strategies, and methods for protecting corporate data while maintaining a seamless user experience across the Apple ecosystem. Participants will gain guidance on designing a scalable and resilient Apple device management strategy suited for modern environments.
