Event

Despite the effects of the cocktail consumed on an empty stomach becoming increasingly apparent as the episode progressed, 🥴 I managed to stay on track and explain why Platform Single Sign-On on macOS with Microsoft Entra and Microsoft Intune is such a big deal. 😀 Don’t miss this episode of AperiTeams! Thanks to Irene and Silvio for the super fun chat and the cocktail (by the way, DELICIOUS). Your IT Specialist,

My personal holiday calendar says that after Halloween but before Christmas, there’s at least one more: WPC! 😀 WPC (November 26-27-28), the most important annual event in the Italian ICT landscape, is just around the corner! This year, I’ll be there again as a speaker, with a session that has a bit of a “crossover” flavor: Microsoft Intune and Apple macOS. Microsoft and Apple—a dualism that used to stir passions but, in my view, no longer has any reason to exist in terms of “opposition.

Last October 9, 2024, the AperiTeams Conference Security Day 2024 took place at the Microsoft House in Milan and was streamed live. If you missed the live stream, no worries! All the event videos organized by Inside Technologies are now available online. As always, it was a great day! I had so much fun with my “partner on the stage” Simone Frigerio, and I hope it will be the first of many sessions together.

What a great day as always at the AperiTeams Conference Security Day! I had so much fun with Simone Frigerio and I hope this is the first of many sessions together. Special thanks to Silvio Di Benedetto and Irene Bugatti for giving me this amazing opportunity, and finally, thank you to everyone who followed us, both remotely and in-person. It’s always a pleasure to chat with those who attend in person after the sessions.

The video of the session that my friend Davide Salsi and I held at Be Connected Day 12 on May 30, 2024, is finally online. In recent years, Microsoft Intune has been the main path towards a “Modern” device management. With the advent of AI and the release of new features, a new era in the device management paradigm is opening.​ In this session, we will see in detail how these latest solutions can contribute to a cloud-native management of endpoints:​

The video of the session I held at #POWERCON2024, where I talked about Microsoft Entra Conditional Access and why it is still a very important tool in 2024, is already online. Thanks to Nicola Ferrini and the ICTPower.it community for inviting me! If you want to watch all the videos from this wonderful day of training, here is the link to the playlist: #POWERCON2024 - All sessions of the day See you soon with some news!

It was a memorable BeConnected Day + CollabDays: so many people, a new and incredible location, everything vibrated with amazing energy that involved everyone, including the audience and speakers. Beautiful. We needed it. Thanks to my partner in crime on stage, Davide Salsi: yesterday, after the speech, someone literally told me “you guys make a great couple on stage.” 😅🤣 Thanks to Lodestar S.p.A., present in full force at the event, for choosing me to represent them along with Fabio Luinetti and Riccardo Fona.

The Global Azure in Turin always leaves me with great feelings: shaking hands, putting faces to the community members, laughing at the curses hurled at stuck slide changers, 🤣 sharing knowledge. A wonderful day, the kind that should never be missing, from time to time. Thank you to everyone who attended our session. Thanks to my “partner in crime on the stage” 😃 Pietro Visentin who did an extraordinary job in creating the content.

If you missed the live stream, no worries! Starting today, all the videos from the AperiTeams Conference (Modern Workplace Day) 2024, organized by Inside Technologies, are available online. It was my first participation and I had a great time, as always during such days where training and networking come together. Here’s the complete video of my session, where I discussed how Microsoft Defender XDR represents a significant step forward towards a unified tool for managing the security of our infrastructure, whether it’s in the cloud, hybrid, or multi-cloud.

Spring event season is in full swing! I’ll be among the speakers at the Global Azure event in Turin, alongside Pietro Visentin. We’ll be discussing Conditional Access: the latest updates, best practices, and why it’s becoming an increasingly vital tool in Zero Trust Security strategies. 🗓️ Saturday, April 20 📍 Turin - Fondazione ITS ICT - Via Jacopo Durandi, 13 🎟️ Info and registration I have a special connection to the Global Azure event in Turin, and I can’t wait to be there!

⚠️ 🇮🇹 To my Italian speaking followers! A few days ago, the winter edition of #POWERCON2023, an online conference organized by the ICTPower.it community, took place. It is certainly correct to say that Microsoft Intune is an MDM, and its main purpose is to manage devices. However, paraphrasing a famous song from the ’80s, “beyond the endpoints, there is more”! Intune is, in fact, the pivotal tool through which to implement and deploy an infinite variety of security settings, in addition to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint configurations.

⚠️ 🇮🇹 To my Italian speaking followers! Just finished one event, and here I am jumping into another, one that I hold dear to my heart: thrilled to announce that I will be among the speakers at #POWERCON2023 organized by the folks at ICT Power! 📌 When? 🗓️ 6 december 2023 from 9.00 AM till 5.30 PM 🙋🏻‍♂️ My session will be at 11:00 AM 📌 Where? 💻 Online, all the details here 👇🏻

As always, WPC is a mix of emotions, meetings, and learning: experiencing all of this is always incredible. I can’t wait for WPC 2024! 😃 Without too many words, here are some snapshots from this super intense 3-day event.

A few days ago, the #POWERCON2023 was held, an online conference organized by the ICTPower.it community. As always, I was very happy to participate, and this year, I chose to present a session on Windows Hello for Business, discussing an aspect that I believe is underestimated and not well-known to most: Windows Hello for Business is a passwordless and multi-factor authentication! Do you want to know why and how it works?

🗓️ #SaveTheDate July 14, 2023: one last exciting event before going on vacation, the #POWERCON2023!

In short, I would probably run out of characters in a LinkedIn post if I wanted to list everything. 🗓️ When? 14 Luglio 2023 🌍 Where?

On March 8, 2023, a joint event was held between the Microsoft Intune Italian Users Group and the Microsoft Security Italian Users Group: the video of the sessions is now available. Together with the legendary Michele Sensalari, we talked about certificate-based authentication on Azure AD. Marco Moioli and Davide Salsi, on the other hand, delved into how to use the MAM (Mobile Application Management) features of Intune to provide security in BYOD scenarios, and Davide also demonstrated the new Microsoft Tunnel for Mobile.
