Cybersecurity Forum 6ᵗʰ Edition: On‑site workshops
Workshop 1
Managing and Defending Against Current Threats
Managing and Defending Against Current Threats
90 minutes
Cybersecurity Forum, Prague
27 May 2026 | 14:30-16:00
Paula Januszkiewicz - CEO of CQURE & CQURE Academy | MVP & RD | International Keynote Speaker | Penetration Tester | Red Teamer | Cybersecurity Expert | MVP Enterprise Sec & Microsoft Regional Director | Businesswoman of the Year’18
This session provides a practical overview of modern infrastructure security across both on-premises and cloud environments. We will explore where today’s systems are most exposed and how attackers identify and exploit those weak points.
Participants will learn how contemporary adversaries target identities, endpoints, and critical services, with high-level examples of real-world attack techniques used to gain access to valuable data and resources. We will also discuss how modern malware operates and what observable signals can help teams detect malicious activity early. The session will cover foundational practices in incident detection and response — how to recognize signs of compromise, what to prioritize during initial investigation, and how to reduce the impact of an ongoing attack.
Finally, we will look at practical strategies for strengthening endpoint and communication security, along with approaches organizations can use to improve resilience against evolving threats, including supply chain risks.

How Microsoft security architecture addresses these risks:
- Defender for Cloud, Defender XDR, Entra & Agent 365, Purview DSPM, Security Copilot
- What this means for SOC telemetry, governance, KPIs, and operating models
- 3 concrete actions organizations can take in the next 30 days.
Who should attend
CISOs, CIOs, security leaders, SOC managers, architects, and practitioners responsible for security operations, Microsoft security environments, or AI governance.
Workshop 3
Discover the Power of Microsoft 365 E7 – Copilot, Agents, Security and Governance in Action
Jan Pilař, Senior Specialist - Security, Microsoft
Bára Vávrová, Specialist - AI Workforce, Microsoft
Microsoft 365 E7 represents the next evolution of the modern workplace by combining advanced security capabilities with the power of Copilot. At the core of this shift is Microsoft 365 Agent – turning Copilot into an intelligent digital coworker that acts, automates, and delivers insights directly in the flow of work. You will get an overview of the latest innovations, understand why security is a critical enabler for Copilot, and see how these capabilities together can drive measurable business value.
The goal is simple: inspire you with what’s possible today.
- What’s new in Microsoft 365 E7 – why bringing security and Copilot together changes the game
