Super excited!.Just launched the #EntraID capability to quickly and easily create a security assessment, including diagrams of how resources relate, detailed reporting, and very soon also Entra ID attack paths. Free testing is available on our website.

Reddit is not a fan of Microsoft Security Copilot. I tend to agree with what I'm reading. I still haven't met anybody who uses it for their day job who is convinced that it's worth it.

Did a thing today, super happy. 11 years after moving here we're finally Australians. Came here with a few boxes and bags, eventually became permanent residents, bought a house, started a cybersecurity company, became a parent. What a journey of ups and downs. Loved it so far!

GitHub Copilot Agent is magic. Not because it gets everything right (nope!), but it gets the right amount right enough for me to then bring the "big brain" and complete the task. I've assigned it a pretty complex task, and it's done all the boring scaffolding, saving me hours.

Happy dance today! .Two meetings: .- Head of Professional Services mentioned how @ARGOS_Cloud saves them avg 3 days of effort on a 5 day gig. - Security Consultant " **o**** creates way too many false positives. You don't, because you check the rest of the environment for me."

MCP and I don't mix it seems. I chose to try the new Azure API Management MCP feature which makes it look super easy. VS Code GitHub agent however just won't connect. There's basically nothing to configure. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Anybody got experience?.

This was a super fun movie. Thoroughly enjoyed it with so many (not too obvious) Easter eggs for the fans! 🥰. #JurassicPark #JurassicWorld

Reminder! It's almost time that those old pesky TLS versions are turned off by Microsoft. Use ARGOS to help your customers (or yourself) to understand where to start. Watch this short demo of ARGOS in action. #azure #cloudsecurity #cloud #cybersecurity

Them: "which MCP did you use the most yesterday?".Them: "what's your number 1 MCP?".Them: "where do you host all your MCP?". Me: this feels like kubernetes all over again. I don't know what this is and why I should care as a consumer.

Microsoft Well-Architected Reviews. Looking beyond "just security" a lot of orgs want to know how well they're "doing cloud" generally. We already cover the Azure Security pillar with a great customer-ready report in minutes & over 200 controls. Curious?

Today, managed to code and ship a few @ARGOS_Cloud UX fixes that really bugged me for a few months now: .- pre-scan input validation -> scan now doesn't even start if creds don't work, incl proper error message to user.- lots of frontend typos 🫠.It's not always shiny features 🫣.
