Beyond Baselines: Building Custom Identity Security Testing with Maester and PowerShell

Baselines are a useful starting point, but no generic checklist can capture your organization’s unique identity and access risks. This session, presented by masterful identity experts from Microsoft and Patriot Consulting, shows how Maester’s test authoring capabilities, combined with PowerShell and Pester, let you build custom security tests that reflect your actual policies and architectures. You’ll learn how to test anything you can query—across Entra ID via Microsoft Graph, on-premises AD via LDAP and PowerShell remoting, and any other service with a PowerShell module, REST API, or CLI. And you see in a real-time demo how to turn real-world security policies into automated validations and show how Maester’s architecture makes it straightforward to extend coverage across your entire hybrid estate.
