The future of security operations is autonomous, adaptive, and deeply integrated—and Microsoft is delivering the blueprint. In this session, you’ll learn how to turn that vision into reality using Microsoft Sentinel and Defender. We’ll walk through how to architect a modern SOC that not only detects and responds to threats in real time, but also anticipates and prevents them using predictive shielding, agentic AI, and graph-powered reasoning.

AI-driven threats and expanding attack surfaces demand new defenses. In this session, see how Defender for Cloud unifies security from code to runtime with posture insights, risk prioritization and workload protection across hybrid and multi-cloud.

It demands a unified, AI-native application platform. In this session, discover how Microsoft Foundry enables developers to build, deploy, and scale agents enriched with real-time business context, custom tools, and comprehensive governance. Hear from KPMG on how they’re accelerating AI innovation and delivering business impact with Microsoft.
