Event details
Security practitioners, bring your real questions.
Join Microsoft Security experts live at RSA Conference or online via Tech Community for a live AMA focused on data and AI security in real-world environments. Ask how data protection, AI security, and governance actually work in production—what teams are turning on first, what can wait, and where things commonly break.
This session is designed for practitioners who want practical answers, not future-state vision.
What to expect
• Live Q&A with Microsoft Security SMEs and real practitioners
• Questions submitted both in person and online
• No slides, no pitches, no roadmap discussions
• Real usage, real challenges, real answers
Whether you’re attending RSA in person or joining remotely, this is your chance to get straight answers from people building and securing AI at scale.

Question from the live event:
We work with large enterprises and one of the consistent challenges we're seeing is that Microsoft products are evolving so quickly that we lack clarity into the roadmap — specifically for Agent 365. Some of our clients are choosing alternative solutions because smaller vendors are moving faster on non-human identities, agents, and related management capabilities. We'd like to understand how we can get closer to the product teams and work more collaboratively with Microsoft — so we can better explain the roadmap to customers and set clearer expectations.
- David_Broaddus

Answer:
We should make sure that it is included in our public roadmap and there should be some change management going on. Agent 365 is a new concept, so partner readiness is a top priority for us to help partners and the field engage the customer better to mitigate the amount of overwhelming information and drive clarity.

Question from the audience:
I work for a company called the Center for Internet Security. Organizations, states and countries are apprehensive in using AI tools. That's been the challenge for us. We're known for security best practices and partnered with a lot of security frameworks like NIST. When Microsoft builds your products from a product management perspective, do you work with these organizations or these frameworks? And how can we get more transparency to our customers.- David_Broaddus
Microsoft
Answer:
We work with these organizations and we put objectives into a full list because of different vulnerabilities and issues. We are making sure customers can automate controls to figure out the entire lifecycle and connect it back to agents or other things that can provide users proof of compliance for their hours giving the entire end to end best practice. We have some baseline security guidance as you invite agents and AI into your organization along with policies and best practice guidance to then invite AI and agents into your organization to start off on the right foot. We make sure we are aligned with regulation, legal trust, and training best practices to be secure by design.
If you are interested in learning about the Microsoft service where and where we are complying with the regulation of reports, there is a post service trust portal that you can go and see all the auditing reports and certificates.

Do you have any insights on computing agents versus agents as a service deployments?
- David_Broaddus
Microsoft
Answer: We have a playwright server integrated into VDOP for Visual Studio Code which allows agents to execute in the browser. We are also seeing partners building scenarios into the products that they are selling to protect their agents and make sure they are safe along with detections for endpoint.

What question can a computer ask and a satellite respond to? What is the cloud computing peculiar aspect of why Microsoft has security keys? What policy in Microsoft is straight forward enough to redirect all the analog data towards power generators? Why is Microsoft's board tired of me just like the fed is? And finally: what are five things that a computer presentation shown to Microsoft can do with technology to change the world?
