1. Zero-Trust AI Agents: Secure Microsoft Foundry Workflow
As autonomous AI agents built with Azure AI Foundry take on critical tasks, security is non-negotiable. In this fast demo, we apply zero trust to agent chains: secure tool access with Entra ID, protect secrets and context with Key Vault, enforce real-time content filters, and capture auditable traces. Learn to stop prompt injection, data leaks, and agent hijacking using Azure’s native security controls. Walk away with a battle-tested checklist for hardening Foundry agents!
2. From Alert to Resolution: Using Security Agents to Power Real‑World SOC Workflows
Join Ugur Koc , Ankur Arora & Konrad Sagala in this webinar, we’ll show how SOC analysts can harness security agents from Microsoft Security Store to strengthen every stage of the incident lifecycle. Through realistic SOC workflows based on everyday analyst tasks, we will follow each scenario end to end, beginning with the initial alert and moving through triage, investigation, and remediation.
3. Harness the power of your data with SQL Server 2025, the AI-ready enterprise database
Would you like to take your search in SQL Server to the next level? In this episode, check out how to use vector search, securely built into the SQL Server 2025.
4. Upcoming Events – Agentic DevOps Live
Embedded content: Agentic DevOps Live | Microsoft Reactor
Agentic DevOps Live is your central hub for learning, implementing, and mastering the tools and services that bring AI-powered automation into the software lifecycle. Each session offers practical insights, demos, and actionable playbooks to help you apply Agentic DevOps effectively.

5. Develop a Web App with CoPilot and Azure SQL Database for Under $10!
What if a production ready clinic app could be generated, iterated, and deployed mostly by AI, and cost less than $10? Join us, Amar and Arvind, to see how we built a professional web app for a university dental clinic using a Copilot first workflow in VS Code with GitHub Copilot Pro to scaffold the .NET solution, author deployment scripts, and accelerate debugging. We run it on Azure App Service (F1) and store data in Azure SQL Database (free offer) to keep performance high and costs tiny.
