Today’s cutting edge companies have release cycles measured in days instead of months. This agility is enabled by the DevOps practice of continuous delivery, which automates building, testing, and deploying all code changes. This type of automation will help you catch bugs sooner and accelerate developer productivity. In this session we will share our AWS engineers embed security practices in DevOps, and discuss how you can use AWS services to securely enable DevOps agility in your organization.
Cloud Security is critical to Data Security and Application Resilience against CyberAttacks. This talk looks at Security Best Practices that need to be practised.

A Zero Trust approach should extend throughout the entire digital estate and serve as an integrated security philosophy and end to end strategy.
Identities. Identities whether they represent people, services, or IOT devices define the Zero Trust control plane. When an identity attempts to access a resource, we need to verify that identity with strong authentication, ensure access is compliant and typical for that identity, and follows least privilege access principles.
Devices. Once an identity has been granted access to a resource, data can flow to a variety of different devices From IoT devices to smartphones, BYOD to partner managed devices, and on premises workloads to cloud hosted servers. This diversity creates a massive attack surface area, requiring we monitor and enforce device health and compliance for secure access.
Applications. Applications and APIs provide the interface by which data is consumed. They may be legacy on premises, lift and shifted to cloud workloads, or modern SaaS applications. Controls and technologies should be applied to discover Shadow IT, ensure appropriate in-app permissions, gate access based on real-time analytics, monitor for abnormal behavior, control of user actions, and validate secure configuration options.
Data. Ultimately, security teams are focused on protecting data. Where possible, data should remain safe even if it leaves the devices, apps, infrastructure, and networks the organization controls. Data should be classified, labeled, and encrypted, and access restricted based on those attributes.
Infrastructure. Infrastructure (whether on premises servers, cloud based VMs, containers, or micro services) represents a critical threat vector. Assess for version, configuration, and JIT access to harden defense, use telemetry to detect attacks and anomalies, and automatically block and flag risky behavior and take protective actions.
Networks. All data is ultimately accessed over network infrastructure. Networking controls can provide critical “in pipe” controls to enhance visibility and help prevent attackers from moving laterally across the network. Networks should be segmented (including deeper in network micro segmentation) and real time threat protection, end to end encryption, monitoring, and analytics should be employed.
Each of these six foundational elements serves as a source of the signal, a control plane for enforcement, and a critical resource to defend. You should appropriately spread your investments across each of these elements for maximum protection.
here's where Microsoft has invested, across these areas: identity and access management, apps and data security, network security, threat protection, and security management.
We’ve put a tremendous amount of investment into these areas and the way it shows up is across a pretty broad array of product areas and features.
Our Identity and Access Management tools enable you to take an identity-based approach to security, and establish truly conditional access policies
Our App and Data Security help you protect your apps and your data as it moves around—both inside and outside your organization
Azure includes a robust networking infrastructure with built-in security controls for your application and service connectivity.
Our Threat Protection capabilities are built in and fully integrated, so you can strengthen both pre-breach protection with deep capabilities across e-mail, collaboration services, and end points including hardware based protection; and post-breach detection that includes memory and kernel based protection and response with automation.
And our Security Management tools give you the visibility and more importantly the guidance to manage policy centrally

Overview of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) TechnologyLiwei Ren任力偉
DLP is a technology that detects potential data breach incidents in timely manner and prevents them by monitoring data in-use (endpoints), in-motion (network traffic), and at-rest (data storage). It has been driven by regulatory compliances and intellectual property protection. This talk will introduce DLP models that describe the capabilities and scope that a DLP system should cover. A few system categories will be discussed accordingly with high-level system architecture. DLP is an interesting technology in that it provides advanced content inspection techniques. As such, a few content inspection techniques will be proposed and investigated in rigorous terms.

IT cannot afford to live in the past. Successful businesses of today (and tomorrow) realize the power of mobility to support employee productivity and collaboration. You need to prepare to mitigate the risks of providing freedom and space to your employees. You need to meet compliance and regulatory standards, maintain company security policies and requirements, and detect threats — all the while giving workers a better and more productive experience, so that they’re motivated to follow protocol. You need an enterprise mobility partner that can help you achieve all of this, so that everyone is a winner, and your business stays out of the headlines.
Microsoft’s vision includes management and protection across four key layers: users, device, app, and data – for both your employees, business partners, and customers.
Our strategy is to ensure management across these layers while ensuring your employees, business partners, and customers by providing access to everything they need from everything; protecting corporate data across email and collaboration apps all while integrating these new capabilities with what customers already have like Active Directory and System Center.

Security is one of the most important considerations for SMBs. In fact, 77% of SMBs in a recent survey consider security a top feature when purchasing new PCs.1
Last year alone, 67% of SMBs experienced a security breach that cost, on average, 3.3% of their revenue.1 That’s a big risk to both profitability and reputation, and it shows how critical strong security protections are for businesses.
The good news is that 69% of SMBs in a recent survey agreed that new Windows 10 Pro devices offered better security and data protection than older devices.1
Research shows that modern devices help business owners by preventing identity attacks, minimizing phishing, and reducing the risk of malware attacks. These are all common ways that bad actors steal business data, steal personal information, or hold our devices hostage in exchange for huge amounts of ransom money.
And with modern PCs, most security functions can happen in the cloud, without interrupting worker productivity.
Connections is a company branded employee app in Teams. It is a gateway to your employee experience, with personalized news, communications, tasks, people and resources. It provides a single curated employee destination that can be configured for specific roles like frontline workers.

Connections builds on existing capabilities in Microsoft 365 like SharePoint and Yammer. And it pulls your communications together into a pre-configured app in Teams, designed for both desktop and mobile workers. It also acts as a launching pad to the other 3 Viva modules
Insights brings together Workplace Analytics, MyAnalytics and Glint into a unified insights app in Teams to provide data-driven and privacy-protected insights for individuals, managers and leaders. For example, employees get personalized insights, only they can see, that help them protect their time for breaks, focused work, and learning in order to promote improved productivity and wellbeing.
Topics focuses on knowledge and expertise. Topics applies AI to identify knowledge and experts and organize them into shared topics. AI automatically creates a topic page for each topic. It’s like Wikipedia for the enterprise where AI does the first draft. And these topic pages are surfaced as Topic Cards right in the flow of work in Office and Teams.
Finally, Learning allows employees to easily discover informal and formal learning in the flow of work. It aggregates content from LinkedIn Learning, Microsoft Learn and 3rd party training content and your own organizations content – all in one place. Along with providing aggregation and recommendations, it also allows managers to assign and track training, as well as report on training within and across teams.

The Java ecosystem is very broad, with different technologies including Java SE, Java EE/Jakarta EE, Spring, numerous application servers, and other frameworks. Wherever you are in Java, Azure supports your workload and process with an abundance of choice – from IaaS to fully managed services. You can run any application architecture, from monoliths, to containerized monoliths, all the way to completely microservices based apps.
We see three broad patterns for running Java applications in the cloud, depending on how much control or productivity you need.
The first is lift and shift with Virtual Machines:
Virtual machines provide the most flexibility, control and visibility while moving to the cloud, especially for initial lift and shift of Java workloads. Azure provides a variety of Java focused VM images and solutions templates in the Azure Marketplace to get you up and running quickly.
The second is modernization using containers:
Containers provide portability, flexibility, scalability, manageability, repeatability, and predictability.
Azure provides best of breed support for Docker and Kubernetes, especially through the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Red Hat OpenShift.
Finally, Azure has the most managed hosting options for Java applications of any major cloud platform with fully managed PaaS for Spring, Tomcat, and JBoss EAP:
Managed services offer ease-of-use, ease-of-management, productivity, and lower total cost of ownership.
You can focus on building your applications, not managing infrastructure.
All of this is supported by managed databases and DevOps tooling:
Use fully managed SQL and NoSQL databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Cosmos DB, and SQL.
Keep using the tools you love, with plugins for IntelliJ and Eclipse, integrations with a variety of DevOps tools like Maven, Gradle, Jenkins, and GitHub.

Microsoft Power BI is a unified self-service and enterprise business intelligence platform that combines an intuitive user experience with intelligent data visualizations to provide greater depth of data insight. Reports can be shared within Microsoft tools like Teams, SharePoint, PowerPoint, or within other productivity products.
To help teams be more productive, we need to change the way we think about meetings. Today, a meeting is typically treated as a stand-alone event, and the phone and video conferencing tools people use are designed to support that event.
What if we approached meetings in a more connected way – not as discrete events, but as a series of connected gatherings that drive collaborative progress? This approach is at the heart of how we built the meeting experience in Microsoft Teams.
We built Microsoft Teams to help people meet smarter. Stay focused. And achieve more.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
