As organizations accelerate their cloud adoption, robust security for your Infrastructure as a Service platform is more critical than ever. This session will provide a comprehensive exploration of Azure’s security architecture, best practices, and innovations across four pillars: foundational security, compute security, network security, and storage security. Attendees will gain actionable insights to strengthen their cloud posture, ensure compliance, and protect sensitive workloads.

To meet the growing demand for resilient and high-performance infrastructure for AI workloads, Azure introduces key advancements across its networking stack. The new StandardV2 NAT Gateway delivers zonal resiliency and IPv6 support, now enhanced with flow logs in private preview for deeper traffic visibility. ExpressRoute continues to evolve with metro expansion, general availability of resiliency and scalable gateways, and upcoming support for high-capacity connections up to 1Tbps. Complementing these capabilities, a customer story highlights how DNS traffic is secured and visualized using DNS security policies and threat intelligence on Azure Virtual Networks.

Connection Pods accommodate up to 15 people. Please RSVP and arrive at least 5 minutes before the start time, at which point remaining spaces are open to standby attendees.
