Red Team Training Starts 24th October, 2026
Technical Talk
NOpal : Using Microsoft Project Opal features in Red Team Tradecraft
DATE
27 October 2026
LOCATION
Hilton EGL, Bangalore
TIME
9:15 - 10:15
Abstract
Microsoft defines Project Opal as an agentic capability in Copilot designed to perform task-based work on a user's behalf. Opal is designed to be an active assistant, with ability to use a Windows 365 Cloud PC to perform multi-step workflows on enterprise applications and data on behalf of a user.
This talk focuses on abusing these powerful Opal features in an Enterprise. Opal allows access only to identity, applications and data that the user identity can access. We will discuss how, even with that guardrail, Opal's features can be used to evade Microsoft security controls like MFA, Conditional Access, Network based restrictions and more.
The aim of this talk is to look at Opal and wonder: When it comes to AI and Agentic capabilities, is enterprise security an afterthought?
