Get the expert insights and real-world lessons you need to become a Hybrid Identity Protection (HIP) hero.

The Hybrid Identity Protection (HIP) Conference

Why HIP?

It’s about the community

Hear from your peers facing similar infrastructure and security challenges. Discover proven practices that you can apply to your unique environment.

Powered by the Active Directory and ITDR experts at Semperis, Hybrid Identity Protection (HIP) is a global community focused on helping organizations meet the challenges of protecting hybrid Active Directory identity environments. Our mission is to make the world a safer place by combatting identity security threats through intelligent collaboration and mutual support.

Join forces with global identity security experts to defend against identity system threats

Identity systems are under attack. Between the exit of original Active Directory experts from the workforce, an ever-evolving cyber threat landscape, and the emergence of identity as the primary attack surface, organizations desperately need identity threat detection and response (ITDR) talent. HIP Conf—the premier hybrid identity protection conference, now in its seventh year—is the perfect place to level up your (or your employees’) identity security skill set.

> Learn from the world’s foremost hybrid identity experts.
> Gain key insights into today’s evolving threat landscape.
> Propel your ITDR strategy and advance your organization’s operational resilience.
> Learn how to defend your hybrid, multi-cloud environment against current and emerging threats.
> Get advance access to on-demand programming, HIP news, and community events.
> Forge lasting relationships with HIP community members to continue sharing perspectives and practical guidance for defending identity systems from ongoing threats.

HIP is the only place you can find this many people who can dive this deep into identity management and identity protection.

This is my second year attending the HIP conference. It’s been one of the best conferences I’ve ever been to because of the highly technical, like-minded individuals.
