HIP Conf Europe 2027: what does the call for papers signal?

TL;DR: Practitioners focused on Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta and Ping Identity security will convene at the 2027 Hybrid Identity Protection Conference Europe, according to Semperis, with a call for papers due November 6 and the event set for February 9 in Frankfurt. The framing shows hybrid identity resilience has moved from a niche operational concern to a broader governance discipline for defenders managing cloud and on-premises identity estates.

Key questions

Q: How should public sector teams govern hybrid identity security across cloud and on-prem systems?

A: They should treat hybrid identity as one governed attack surface, not separate cloud and directory silos.

Q: How should security teams build resilience into hybrid identity environments?

A: They should identify every authoritative identity service, test recovery when the primary plane is unavailable, and separate trusted restoration from routine administration.

Practitioner guidance

• Define the hybrid identity control surface Inventory AD, Entra ID, Okta and Ping Identity dependencies together so governance reflects the real trust chain instead of separate platform views.
• Add identity recovery to resilience planning Document how authentication, privilege validation and recovery access will be restored when core identity systems are degraded or unavailable.
• Separate operational roles for identity incidents Assign clear ownership for containment, recovery and communications when the identity layer is under attack so response decisions do not stall.

Bottom line: Hybrid identity security now spans access governance, crisis response and recovery planning rather than a single directory toolset.
