Can my university switch its preferred Identity Provider to Azure AD?
Brian Arkills (University of Washington)

We'll review an analysis comparing Shibboleth to Azure AD performed at the University of Washington, with special attention to topics of concern to the HiEd community. While UW's review is specific to Shibboleth and Azure AD, much of the content is translatable to switching from any on-premises IdP like CAS or ADFS to any commercial IdP. There will also be discussion of the unique decision-making environment at universities, and the difficulty this presents in making significant infrastructure changes.

Foster a safe and inclusive learning environment with Microsoft 365 Communication Compliance
Liz Willets (Microsoft)
Jenny Li (Microsoft)
Patrick David (Microsoft)

Hybrid learning has become a reality for higher education: late nights at the library with your study group have been replaced with digital collaboration sessions. Conversations are almost guaranteed to include memes, emojis and GIFs. And live instruction can take place in a virtual auditorium. Despite providing greater flexibility, hybrid learning does not come completely risk free. While institutions seek out emerging technology like Microsoft Teams to empower students to do their best work in this environment, they also need to manage risk in communications to flag inappropriate behavior, like cyberbullying, sharing of adult imagery, or threatening language. Join us today to learn how your institution can leverage Microsoft 365 Communication Compliance to detect inappropriate language, creating a more inclusive and safe learning environment.

Liz is a Product Marketing Manager on the M365 Security and Compliance marketing team, overseeing Communication Compliance and a risk management incubation.

Jenny is a Program Manager in M365 Security + Compliance working in the Communication Compliance solution. With a background in engineering, Jenny is deeply invested in Communication Compliance’s machine learning/AI initiatives to better serve customers with the power of groundbreaking technology and now strives to contribute to the compliance space from the program management discipline.

Patrick is a Senior Program Manager on the Microsoft Compliance Customer Experience team. He has more than 15 years of experience working across several modern work applications (SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams) and most recently has been focused on the Microsoft compliance space.

Detecting Bad Things on Windows
Jesse Moore (University of Washington)

I will talk about how humans need to think through the steps the attacker takes inside a network and not just focus on the result such as a Ransomware desktop background. I will also mention a card game that helps think thru steps a bad actor takes in a network to think about preventing or detecting.

I will be using Red Carnary's Atomic Red Team repo to simulate an adversary and putting artifacts on Windows and looking at logs in Windows with EventVeiwer to prove that Windows isn't logging the detail that Sysmon is. (11 minute video) Sysmon provides what was only capable to see via Digital Forensic harddrive tools and Digital Forensics Memory analysis tools.
