Finally, use the free security recommendations in Defender for Cloud, including how to fix risks. Or go a step further by enabling the workload protection plans for containers, key vaults, devops code, databases, APIs & storage 🥵 www.microsoft.com/en-us/securi...
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild /🧵
The rest of the BRK234 session walked through
📊 Diagnostics with Log Analytics in Azure Monitor
🔑 Switch from keys to EntraID Managed Identity
🚪 Add user auth with EntraID for internal/external logins
🛜 Network segmentation & webapp firewalls
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
For AI specifically, if you build in #Azure then #AIFoundry has built in security controls & filters. This means it blocks common threats & jailbreak attempts by default, but what about trolling? Harder to detect but you can slide a switch in Foundry/IaC to block it too!
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
... The answer is to use a defence-in-depth approach. Security is like an onion - it has layers! A lot of these features may be seen as outside the remit of a dev but with an average of 1 sec to 100 devs we all need to help each other to stay secure
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
Cyber Threats & AppSec (Application Security) vulnerabilities are growing dramatically just over a year, so what can you do with #DevOps to reduce the risk...
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
Great to see this session was not only recorded but you can also grab the slides and code so you can try it out yourself

#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
Another day, another #MSBuild bluesky thread to enjoy!
Starting today with #cybersecurity & looking at how to apply a defence-in-depth approach to AI apps
1st off, @pamelafox.bsky.social & @sarahyo.com ran the most fun session yet, & they even brough #TimTams for the audience!
🧵 #AzureEyesOnBuild
This one is worth a whole post just on its own:
"Microsoft is the largest cloud contributor to open source @cncf.io projects in the last year"
That's a lot of bugfixes, updates & enhancements for the benefit of the whole community 💖
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
I always find it a bit mindblowing that #ChatGPT runs on #Azure, built using the same hardware & services available to anyone, faster, lower cost & at global scale
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
The day2 keynote ends with Scott Guthrie taking us inside the newest AI datacentres. Great to see a focus on #sustainability in Scott's talk - 100% renewable energy, reducing embodied carbon and zero-waste water cooling for those hot AI GPUs!
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
We shared impressive stats & trends on the future of work. Over 300 million daily users of Teams & predicting 1.3 billion(!) AI Agents by 2028. #CopilotStudio does a lot of the AI heavy-lifting, connecting with other tools via MCP & grouping Agents to work together
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
For data governance & security, #Purview works across databases, documents and the M365 apps to respect confidential or sensitive data. It will either apply the most-sensitive label to any content Copilot comes back with or tell you when it's against policies
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
From my non-dev viewpoint it was good to understand more on the #AIFoundry security & monitoring services available in the ecosystem. Using red-team agents to look for risks, adding guardrails & controls (like Prompt Shields), & investigating incidents
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
Another cool demo putting agents into practice. This time they built an app using multiple agents to manage all the tasks involved with putting on events. They used the AI Foundry extension in @vscode.dev to be able to work on code and the Agents threads side by side
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
Our "Agent Factory" is made up of Models + Knowledge + Agents. Cool model features include the leaderboard, same-time access for OpenAI models in Foundry, APIM, model router and distillation (which optimises complex models into more efficient ones)
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
AI Powered Tools demo'd how the MCP-enabled GitHub Copilot connects across apps (like making GitHub understand Figma). We also saw the new SRE Agent in action, monitoring deployments & rolling back after issues. Even upgrading Java, .NET & mainframe code!
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
I'm starting the day with the 2hr keynote: Unpacking the tech. build.microsoft.com/sessions/KEY...
It certainly was a lot to unpack! We go through the whole Agent stack from tools, agent factory, security, cloud infra, local dev, low-code/pro-code & more 🥵
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
I'm now on day 3 of my #MSBuild UK virtual coverage! I think I'm going to have to be more selective in the sessions as I have a backlog of about 30! Even so, dedicating time this week to at least watching *some* is miles better than previous years "never getting around to it*!
#AzureEyesOnBuild
Yina showed Scott how to automate some of the mundane tasks with running his podcast. Covers #AIFoundry Models, Model Router, Foundry Local, Agent Service, Observability & Security! 😅
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
I also got to watch back @scott.hanselman.com & Yina Arenas with a very fun demo on how to take advantage of all the new #AIFoundry + Agent features. Check it out here build.microsoft.com/sessions/BRK...
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
I had to catch the end of the Day 1 Keynote today and loved rewatching the #MicrosoftDiscovery session. Couldn't resist making a GIF in @clipchamp.bsky.social of John Link's "Very Cool" mic drop moment
#MicrosoftLife #MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
It's day 2 of my coverage of #MSBuild & I'm looking forward to seeing a good mix of last night's events. Today I'll be watching talks on #AIFoundry, AI #Security, #CopilotStudio and App modernisation with #K8s & #AzureArc. Let me know if you saw anything that was a *must-watch*
#AzureEyesOnBuild
1 of my favourite games to play at MS events is ✨spot the new icon✨. We got a couple in the #MSBuild keynote, did you spot them?
My favourite was for the latest version of #SQLServer, now in preview. Read about the new features www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-se... #AzureEyesOnBuild #MSBuild
This works alongside our new security and governanvce features like
* #EntraID for Agents
* #Purview data governeance
* #MSDefender security integration
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
Enhanced tools are becoming available for all of your AI usage with the new observability features available in AI Foundry.
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
Stmaford Uni built a healthcare agent and it's now published as one of our templates in AI foundry so everyone has access to it aka.ms/HealthcareAgentOrchestrator
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
Container and Serverless app platforms in #Azure are also being integrated into our AI Foundry platform
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
AI Foundry now has a new Model router so you can automatically select the best model for the task at hand.
Multiple models get added to AI Foundry each month and we have both Sora & Grok coming in the next few weeks
#MSBuild #AzureEyesOnBuild
