Office 365 and Azure are an undisputed success, making Microsoft the most valuable company in the world.
Yet we are still only a few years into a 20 year transformation of how Microsoft helps companies succeed. Microsoft will continue to be a foundation for building applications, with the stated goal to "empower every person and organization to achieve more". But Microsoft will also increasingly becoming an active participant in business processes that are automated by the PowerPlatform, Teams and SharePoint. This is a dramatic shift in the way IT professionals think about applications going forward. This session will help you position your company (and yourself) for greater success as your company either begins the move to the cloud, or as you seek to realize more value from your Office 365 investment.

Over 80% of the Fortune 500 companies in the US have a Cloud First strategy for data and applications.
Today nearly half of all apps available in every app store have some level of AI or Machine Learning built into them, and it all starts with data.

Gartner predicts that through 2020, 95 percent of cloud security failures will be the customer’s fault.
The naive belief that cloud providers are entirely responsible for their customers’ security means that many enterprises are failing to address how their employees use external applications, leaving them free to share huge amounts of often-inappropriate data with other employees, external parties and sometimes the entire Internet. So, what can they do? What options are available for organizations who do want to protect their information when using a Cloud Service like Office 365? Microsoft Office 365 and Azure offers numerous methodologies to protect your data. Data Loss Prevention, Risky Sign-ins, Encryption, Information Protection, etc. are just a few options of security technologies you can use. But when do you use what? In this session, we will provide you an overview of all the technology available with guidelines on what to use when. Are you looking for an overview of Microsoft Cloud Security? This is the session you can’t miss.

In this presentation Patterson Cake will run through a scenario based on a real-world incident he responded to and helped remediate earlier this year: spear phishing campaign, senior HR resource gives away creds, more creds compromised, mad dash to enable Azure MFA, what worked, and what didn't. Names changed to protect the innocent.

"All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Half a decade into DevOps, we've seen some organizations make the leap into DevOps very successfully - and several very spectacular disasters. Something very simple and fundamental separates the winning approaches from the failed transformations.
Over the past two years we've interviewed thought leaders from Microsoft, Google, Etsy, Puppet, TicketMaster, Humana, Chef, and others to try to solve this mystery. We'll present the results of this research and expose some hidden pitfalls and misconceptions that often stall out large enterprises. Metrics will take center stage as we demonstrate how to make your approach phased, low-risk, and wildly successful in improving the way your customers deliver and support software. This will be a highly interactive session as we want your stumpers and specific scenarios as a foundation for our discussion.

Presto is a distributed ANSI SQL engine designed for running interactive analytics queries. Presto outshines other data processing engines when used for business intelligence (BI) or data discovery because of its ability to join terabytes of unstructured and structured data in seconds, or cache queries intermittently for a rapid response upon later runs.
Presto can also be used in place of other well known interactive open-source query engine such as Impala, Hive or traditional SQL data warehouses.
Why Presto is better suited for ad-hoc queries than other engines like Apache Spark
How to jumpstart analysts across your organization to harness the power of your big data
How to generate interactive or ad hoc queries or scheduled reports using Qubole and Presto
Real-world examples of companies using Presto

With the journey to the cloud, companies try to protect their data by adding additional layers of security.
One of those security measurements that Office 365 provides is Data Loss Prevention or DLP. It was already available for quite some time in Exchange Online, but it also made its way into SharePoint Online. In this session, we are going to cover why and how to use DLP in Office 365 and SharePoint Online to prevent sensitive data from leaving the company. With DLP we are going to show how to add another layer of business security based on data-driven by business. Make your data more secure with Data Loss Prevention.
Speaker:Jethro Seghers
Manage the SharePoint site sprawl and create the right sites for the right users.
We will explore the basic site provisioning capabilities that SharePoint Online provides and then show how we can automate this with a request, approval and fully automated creation process. And then we can layer on policies so that orphaned sites are automatically deleted when they are no longer needed.
