• Ask Microsoft Anything: Azure AD is being renamed
  On July 11, Microsoft announced that Azure AD is being renamed to Microsoft Entra ID. No action is needed from you -- but here's a chance to learn more about the rename from the marketing and product teams, get details on what's NOT changing, find guidance for updating the name in your content, and hear the team address concerns and questions.
• Prevent identity compromise with Microsoft Entra ID Protection
  Learn how to use Microsoft Entra ID Protection to block identity takeover in real time. Instead of reactively revoking access based on stale data, harness the power of advanced machine learning (ML) to identify sign-in anomalies and anomalous user behavior and then block, challenge, or limit access in real time. With these insights showcased in a brand new dashboard, IT and identity practitioners can further investigate their security posture in additional tools and applications for enhanced recommendations.

Let’s look at the latest capabilities that can help you govern the identity and access lifecycles and provide secure, privileged access for admins. Whether your services and applications are on-premises are across multiple clouds, you can ensure the right people have the right access to the right resources at the right time. We walk you through some demos and details then switch to an open Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA) format to answer your questions.
