Understanding the 2026 Microsoft Vulnerability Landscape: Insights & Expert Panel Discussion

Understanding the 2026 Microsoft Vulnerability Landscape: Insights & Expert Panel Discussion Webinars Understanding the 2026 Microsoft Vulnerability Landscape: Insights & Expert Panel Discussion About the session 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, BeyondTrust experts Morey Haber, James Maude, and Christopher Hills 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.



What you'll learn in this session:

Key vulnerability trends across Microsoft products, including 5-year patterns and standout CVEs

Why “Elevation of Privilege” and other identity-based risks remain top attack vectors



How enforcing least privilege, zero trust, and other core security principles can dramatically reduce risk
