Buying security tools is easy. Building a secure Azure platform that developers don’t fight is not. This session focuses on platform-level security decisions that quietly improve security outcomes—without slowing teams down.

We’ll cover identity-first design, network security boundaries, policy-driven guardrails, and where tools like Defender for Cloud actually add value (and where they don’t).

Target audience: Platform engineers, architects, security-minded cloud engineers
Level: Intermediate
Duration: 45–60 minutes
