Now in its 13th year, the Microsoft Vulnerabilities Report from BeyondTrust has become a trusted resource for cybersecurity professionals seeking to better understand the shifting risk landscape within Microsoft’s ecosystem. Based on a comprehensive analysis of Microsoft vulnerability disclosures from the past year, the 2026 edition reveals a critical inflection point: while total vulnerabilities have slightly declined, critical vulnerabilities have surged, and identity-driven attack paths continue to dominate.

In this session Katie Moussouris, Jane Frankland, and Paula Januszkiewicz will examine how AI is reshaping vulnerability discovery and exploitation, and why Elevation of Privilege vulnerabilities remain the most consequential risk.

More importantly, they’ll explore what this means for defenders, and how organizations can shift to a privilege-centric, identity-first approach to reduce real-world attack paths.

Panelists:

  • Katie Moussouris, Founder and CEO Luta Security
  • Jane Frankland, Founder of the IN Security Movement, CEO of KnewStart & Best-Selling Author
  • Paula Januszkiewicz, CEO CQURE

Moderator:

  • Morey Haber, Chief Security Advisor, BeyondTrust
