Securing AI at Scale: Integrated Security Strategies for Enterprise AI
As AI systems scale across enterprises, their attack surfaces evolve in complexity and unpredictability. This session explores the integrated security strategies to defend against emerging threats from model manipulation and data leakage to identity mismanagement and regulatory exposure. Attendees will gain actionable insights by considering real time examples and using demo environment from Azure Defender for Cloud to show in practice how it can detect top 8 out of 10 OWASP LLM risks.
From POC to Production: The Governance Playbook for AI
Many AI POCs stall before production due to ungrounded outputs, inconsistent evaluations, inadequate content filtering, and fragile deployment pipelines. Effective governance embeds grounding techniques, automated evaluation frameworks, and responsible AI filters into the lifecycle, while Azure AI Gateway enforces policy, observability, and throttling at scale. This session shows how governance patterns improve resiliency, compliance, and trust, enabling AI systems to move from experimentation to reliable enterprise deployment.
Learning Outcomes:
• Identify technical blockers—hallucinations, evaluation gaps, unsafe content—that derail AI POCs.
• Apply grounding, evaluation pipelines, and content filters to improve output quality.
• Use Azure AI Gateway for policy enforcement, monitoring, and scaling.
• Architect for resiliency across the AI delivery pipeline.
Designing for Certainty: How Azure Capacity Reservations Safeguard Mission‑Critical Workloads
Business‑critical services can’t afford “maybe” when it comes to compute availability. This session explores why capacity constraints are an industry‑wide reality, the role of Azure Capacity Reservations in ensuring placement, how they differ from Reserved Instances, and why using both is a strategic imperative for resilient architecture.
