Secure containerized apps end-to-end using Microsoft Defender for Cloud. Correlate cross-cloud attacks into a single incident, catch runtime threats that image scanning misses, and block vulnerable images before they reach production.
Investigate container hijacking, isolate compromised pods with Security Copilot-guided remediation, and close the loop from SOC to dev by pushing CVE fixes to GitHub and syncing resolution back to Defender.
Matt McSpirit, Microsoft Azure expert, shares how to detect, investigate, and remediate container threats in one connected workflow.

Build production-ready enterprise apps in hours, not months. Describe the app you want using Rayfin's open-source SDK with GitHub Copilot, and generate your full backend in code — schemas, relationships, and access policies included. Deploy to Microsoft Fabric with a single CLI command and immediately inherit enterprise data security, identity controls, and audit compliance already in place across your data estate.
Connect your app's live operational data to years of historical records in Fabric from the moment you deploy, no pipelines, no data movement. Query across both datasets using a Fabric data agent you spin up directly on your app's data.

Take control of every AI agent, managed or not, running in your environment using Agent 365 and Microsoft Entra. Surface agents across AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex, Databricks, and Salesforce in one registry, assign Entra Agent IDs via CLI or SDK, and enforce least-privilege access through Conditional Access policies and Agent Blueprints, all without rebuilding your existing identity infrastructure.
Lock down agent activity with sign-in logs that capture every authentication attempt, policy hit, and failure. Govern agents as first-class identities alongside your users, apps, and devices, and draw a hard line between managed and unmanaged AI in your organization.

Surface every AI agent in your tenant and expose the ones throwing security signals — across both the IT and SOC view. Triage high-severity alerts as IT in the Microsoft 365 admin center, then pivot into the full incident graph as a SOC analyst in Microsoft Defender. Block malicious tool invocations the instant they fire and catch jailbreak attempts on Copilot Studio agents before they take hold.
Trace a compromised user back to suspicious agent activity, then trigger Microsoft Entra conditional access to revoke the session and force a password reset straight from the incident. Hunt overpermissioned agents with pre-built advanced hunting templates — including one that exposes every agent running MCP tools on the maker's standing credentials — and pull risky builds from the Agent Store using the Agent Registry.
Spencer Berg, AI & Security Product Manager, shares how to turn agent risk signals into coordinated remediation across Defender, Entra, and the Microsoft 365 admin center.

Ensure your tenant configuration doesn't drift from defined security and compliance requirements with Microsoft Entra Tenant Governance. Capture configuration as code across 200+ resource types in Entra, Intune, Exchange, Teams, Defender, and Purview. Turn that snapshot into a Monitor. It scans for drift every six hours and flags every policy change.
Extend control to the tenants you don't fully see today. Entra Tenant Governance surfaces them automatically through B2B, multi-tenant app, and billing signals. Request governance with role-based templates. Complete the secure approval handshake in the Entra admin center, then administer the governed tenant from a single browser using the roles forged in that handshake. Jeff Staiman, Microsoft Entra Principal Product Manager, shares how to bring every tenant under one governance model.

Take command of your full app layer in Microsoft Intune. Audit every managed and unmanaged app per device with full metadata — publisher, architecture, disk size, install location, uninstall command — to expose shadow IT before it spreads. Pull curated Win32 apps straight from the Enterprise App Catalog or upload PowerShell .ps1 scripts to control exactly how each app installs.
Stage rollouts in rings with Deployment Plans, pause or cancel any deployment in flight, and auto-trust every app you push using App Control for Business with Managed Installer — extending the same trust to new device builds with Autopilot, now up to 25 apps. Keep your fleet current automatically as vendors publish new versions through the Enterprise App Catalog, or trigger updates on demand from the Guided Upgrade Supersedence report.
Nicole Zhao, Microsoft Intune Product Manager, shares how to put these built-in enhancements to work across every managed device.
*Intune Deployments is currently in private preview. Capabilities shown are subject to change and not yet generally available.
Check out aka.ms/RSAC26-Intune-Blog from the RSA Conference for additional security context and guidance when managing apps with Microsoft Intune.

Identify what data was exposed in a breach, not just where it moved, but what it contains, how sensitive it is, and the risk it creates using Microsoft Purview Data Security Investigations. Search across massive volumes of files using natural language, pinpoint the highest risk content, and connect it to user activity to see the full scope of an incident.
Investigate and act in one workflow. Analyze content deeply across files, emails, and AI interactions, uncover hidden or unclassified sensitive data, and contain exposure fast. Proactively identify risks, respond to incidents with clarity, and mitigate impact before it spreads.
Christophe Fiessinger, Microsoft Purview Principal Squad Leader, joins Jeremy Chapman to walk through real-world investigation workflows—from scoping and analysis to mitigation and automation—so you can move faster and make more informed security decisions.
