AuthN & AuthZ in Power Platform: advanced platform functionality

Security is key! Cyberattacks are becoming more prevalent and visible, and systems are being breached. Yet, in many cases, security is still an afterthought in solution designs and architectures. Something that's to be done after the “useful functionality” is developed...

No longer! Join Yannick in this session, where he will explore all options to secure Power Platform at the platform level. He will show how Conditional Access Policies and Entra ID Security Groups can be leveraged for a better baseline security and then explore more advanced techniques as well as best practices for accessing records or handling secrets, using Key Vaults and Managed Identities.

Whether you are a developer, technical consultant, or just interested in making your environments more secure, Yannick will make sure you will take home the resources to get started today.

Speakers:

Yannick Reekmans

Solution Architect @ Qubix | Business Applications & M365 MVP

Yannick (a Microsoft 365 & Business Applications MVP) was born and raised in SharePoint, starting his career in 2011 when SharePoint 2010 was still new and shiny. The changing reality of the cloud made him expand his knowledge to the whole of Microsoft 365, Azure, and Power Platform. He is a Managing Partner and Cloud Solution Architect at Qubix, a Belgium-based consultancy firm, responsible for the technical underpinnings of products and solutions. Problem-solving and development are his passions, and he is still working day-to-day with code. He always asks the important questions: How does it work? What do you want to achieve? Does it have an API? Do we really need development for this? Where's the coffee?
