Hybrid Identity Protection

When identity is under pressure,
you need more than theory.


From strategy to implementation, HIP Conf is built to help you make better decisions before, during, and after a crisis.

Join the community helping prevent compromise, respond with clarity, and recover with resilience across hybrid identity environments.

Resilience Is
Not Reactive.

It’s intentional, human-centered, and identity-first.
Register today for HIP Conf Europe 27.

As organizations face fast-moving threats across complex hybrid environments, cyber defenders must rethink everything—from identity protection and threat detection to incident response, recovery, and business continuity.

At the center of it all are the identity systems that people, applications, and critical operations rely on.

Join us on 9 February in Frankfurt to Redefine Resilience for the identity-first security community.

Don’t miss this chance to connect with other practitioners, architects, incident responders, and security leaders who work every day to secure hybrid identity.

Early access registration is open now.

It’s Your Move:
How to Say Goodbye to RC4 While Keeping
Your Sanity

Cue predictions of disruption and IT meltdown for the unprepared.

The old RC4 encryption protocol has many weaknesses. To help harden attack surfaces, Microsoft has rolled out updates that change domain controllers’ behavior regarding ticket encryption. Unfortunately, RC4 is still the backbone of many Kerberos implementations.

Don’t panic!
The doomsday scenarios might be exaggerated, but you still need to address certain configurations in the move towards RC4-free Kerberos. You’ll learn:

○ What’s changing


○ How to determine the actual consequences for various configurations found in the field


○ How to locate and remediate potentially disrupted applications


○ How to preserve the status quo until your organization can deal with the death of RC4



This empowering session is now on demand!
Tap into practical advice that will help save your sanity.
