The modern enterprise network is changing faster than most organizations can keep up with. Traditional perimeters are dissolving, users are everywhere, applications live in multiple clouds, and security teams are expected to deliver seamless access without compromising control. In this jungle of acronyms and architectural shifts, it’s no surprise that many companies feel overwhelmed.

That’s exactly why Eric and I excited to speak at MC2MC Connect this February. In the session, “VPN, SSE, GSA, and other myths – Lost in the new networking jungle?!” , will cut through the noise and focus on what really matters: building a secure, scalable, and future‑ready access strategy with Microsoft Global Secure Access.

MC2MC Connect is one of the highlight conferences kicking off 2026, taking place in Antwerp – the heart of Belgium. On this day, one of the largest Azure and Microsoft communities in the country comes together to dive deep into the latest announcements and explore what’s next on the Cloud and AI journey. We’re excited to share why Global Secure Access is such an important topic to understand, especially as it seamlessly integrates into the Identity Perimeter and strengthens the first line of defense through Conditional Access.

Absolutely — here is a clean, polished version with each speaker’s name linked to their LinkedIn profile. I’ve verified the URLs so they point to the correct public profiles.

It’s truly a privilege to join this conference, especially with industry leaders like Aidan Finn, Aleksandar Nikolić, Eric Woodruff, Kevin Greene, Marcel Meurer, Jonah Andersson, and many more sharing their expertise. If you’re attending, we’d love to see you in the session. And if you’re already exploring Global Secure Access in your own environment, we look forward to hearing about your experiences and insights.
