00:00:00
hello and uh welcome to ignite you know
00:00:03
we continue to invest in security you
00:00:06
can see the updates we're making tons
00:00:08
and tons of announcements that you'll
00:00:10
hear about across the security stack um
00:00:13
the one thing though I want to point out
00:00:15
is perview it's probably the product um
00:00:17
for this conference because in the age
00:00:19
of AI data governance takes on an even
00:00:23
more critical Central important role uh
00:00:26
and in perview uh we're introducing
00:00:28
updates to PR vent everything from
00:00:31
oversharing Risky use of AI uh such as
00:00:34
malicious intent detection prompt
00:00:37
injections misuse of protected material
00:00:40
so there's a lot uh in perview and today
00:00:43
I'm really excited to announce our zero
00:00:46
day quest uh this is the first big
00:00:49
announcement that I'm excited about
00:00:53
because it's a new hacking event uh
00:00:56
there will be $4 million in rewards for
00:01:00
focused on securing cloud and AI it's
00:01:02
the highest rewards of any public
00:01:04
hacking event in the industry and the
00:01:06
quest starts today and will culminate in
00:01:09
an in-person hacking event next year so
00:01:11
we're very very excited about it you
00:01:13
know co-pilot is the UI for AI it's
00:01:19
rapidly becoming an organizing layer for
00:01:22
work and how work gets
00:01:24
done every employee will have a
00:01:28
co-pilot that knows them their work
00:01:31
helping them unlock
00:01:33
productivity enhancing creativity and
00:01:36
saving
00:01:37
time and co-pilot studio will allow you
00:01:40
to create agents that automate business
00:01:44
processes and every it department will
00:01:47
have a control system to manage secure
00:01:50
and measure impact that's it those are
00:01:52
the three basic concepts of the copal
00:01:56
ecosystem today I'm really excited to
00:01:59
announce co-pilot
00:02:03
actions with with these actions you can
00:02:08
use co-pilot to reduce the amount of
00:02:10
time you spend on repetitive everyday
00:02:14
tasks uh that you do in fact the best
00:02:16
way to conceptualize actions is for
00:02:19
those of you who used Outlook rules this
00:02:21
is Outlook rules for the age of AI uh
00:02:24
and it works across the entire M365
00:02:26
system not just an Outlook right so it
00:02:28
automates everything from asset asking
00:02:30
for a let's say a status update from
00:02:32
your team compiling weekly reports to
00:02:35
scheduling emails requesting feedback on
00:02:37
our document um actions are a very
00:02:40
simple but yet powerful way for you to
00:02:43
scale what you do right so whatever was
00:02:46
the thing that you had to do multistep
00:02:48
you just create one of these actions and
00:02:50
it just does it for you and we're not
00:02:52
stopping there and today we're
00:02:54
introducing new agents you can use
00:02:57
within the context of your team again
00:03:00
the best way to think about these are as
00:03:02
just your teammates uh they scoped to
00:03:05
specific roles with very specific
00:03:07
permissions just like you know we have
00:03:09
permissions and roles uh for example a
00:03:12
facilitator agent is someone you can add
00:03:14
to your team's meeting and the
00:03:16
facilitator will help keep the meeting
00:03:19
Focus moderate the meeting chats as well
00:03:22
as the followup and action
00:03:24
items uh our project manager agent in
00:03:27
planner will help automate in fact all
00:03:29
the key steps in a project management
00:03:31
workflow it'll create a new plan it'll
00:03:34
from scratch it'll help oversee what's
00:03:36
happening across the project task
00:03:38
assignments content
00:03:40
creation and next is even self-service
00:03:43
agents right so for these agents provide
00:03:46
really useful information answer
00:03:47
questions on policies uh but not just
00:03:50
that when it comes to HR and IT these
00:03:52
agents will help you complete the task
00:03:55
thinking of think of this as just
00:03:57
augmenting your HR and IT
00:04:00
departments and we're also announcing
00:04:04
SharePoint agents every SharePoint site
00:04:08
will now have a built-in agent these
00:04:10
agents provide instant access to
00:04:12
real-time information and insights from
00:04:15
your knowledge base in the flow of your
00:04:18
work uh we're also giving you the
00:04:20
ability to easily create your own
00:04:23
co-pilot a or your own agents using
00:04:26
copilot Studio you know sometimes we
00:04:29
sort of mystify these agents as things
00:04:32
that you know somehow require a lot of
00:04:34
effort to build but it's really pretty
00:04:37
straightforward in fact the our vision
00:04:39
is that it should be as simple as
00:04:41
creating a word doc or a PowerPoint
00:04:43
slide or an Excel spreadsheet that's it
00:04:45
like when you say agent think creating a
00:04:47
dock today we are very excited to
00:04:51
announce co-pilot
00:04:54
analytics
00:04:57
yeah you know if you take let's say a
00:04:59
sales territory manager uh so they can
00:05:03
now correlate the specific co-pilot
00:05:07
usage to a business metric like their
00:05:10
win rate over time right and it's not
00:05:13
just co-pilot it's co-pilot and all the
00:05:15
agents that you built uh you can look at
00:05:18
their usage and start tuning even the
00:05:20
usage uh to the business kpis right our
00:05:23
goal is to show how co-pilot usage is
00:05:27
ultimately directly translating into
00:05:29
business outcomes across sales marketing
00:05:31
finance and more today we're announcing
00:05:34
in fact Windows app is coming to Android
00:05:36
we're excited about that we're
00:05:37
announcing mobile application management
00:05:40
I know this is something that it has
00:05:41
wanted for a long time and it's both to
00:05:44
IOS and Android um this means any
00:05:47
employee can work on Windows 365 even on
00:05:50
their personal devices like this iPad
00:05:53
because your corporate apps and files
00:05:55
stay secure all managed on the cloud PC
00:05:58
I'm really thrilled to announce Windows
00:06:01
365
00:06:02
link you can see it right
00:06:07
here it's a simple secure purpose-built
00:06:11
device for Windows 365 it's admin L
00:06:16
passwordless and security configurations
00:06:19
are enabled by default and cannot be
00:06:21
turned off uh Windows 365 link expands
00:06:25
the PC category or the cloud PC category
00:06:28
by connecting you directly to your
00:06:31
productivity in the cloud with no data
00:06:33
or information left on any device and
00:06:35
I'm also pleased to say that it's going
00:06:37
to be available in uh April of next year
00:06:39
so really looking forward to it uh in
00:06:42
addition we are excited to announce this
00:06:44
new windows resiliency initiative super
00:06:46
important it's we're doubling down on
00:06:48
our commitment uh to make Windows secure
00:06:51
and reliable for customers for all their
00:06:53
mission critical uh workloads as part of
00:06:56
this work we are making changes to
00:07:00
low-level operating system access um
00:07:03
we're introducing new features in
00:07:04
partnership with the entire ecosystem
00:07:07
establishing new guidelines for safe
00:07:09
deployment practices uh one example of
00:07:12
this which is I think you know something
00:07:14
that is really exciting is Windows Hot
00:07:16
Patch uh which works across your entire
00:07:19
Windows estate to apply critical
00:07:21
security updates without requiring a
00:07:22
restart and today we're going further
00:07:25
and announcing Azure local
00:07:32
this is again something that many of you
00:07:35
have asked us to do which is bring you
00:07:37
know Azure Arc all the way to all of the
00:07:41
edge uh with Azure local extends Azure
00:07:44
Services across hybrid multicloud and
00:07:46
Edge locations with one central control
00:07:50
plane it brings Azure Services uh to
00:07:53
customers distributed locations whether
00:07:55
they're in retail or Hospitality
00:07:57
obviously manufacturing so so that they
00:07:59
can run their mission critical workloads
00:08:02
some of these new AI workloads uh across
00:08:05
cloud and Edge and I'm excited to
00:08:07
announce our first inhouse security chip
00:08:11
Azure integrated HSM this is
00:08:16
it
00:08:17
this it is a dedicated Hardware security
00:08:21
module that hardens Key Management
00:08:23
managing encryption and key signing that
00:08:26
can remain within the bounds of the
00:08:28
device without compromis performance or
00:08:30
security and starting next year it'll be
00:08:33
part of every new server deployed on
00:08:36
Azure enhancing security for both
00:08:39
confidential Computing as well as
00:08:41
general purpose virtual machines and
00:08:42
containers so we are very very excited
00:08:44
about uh this new silicon Innovation
00:08:46
today we are very excited about
00:08:48
expanding Azure boost with our first
00:08:51
inhouse
00:08:52
dpu um and this is a dpus are processors
00:08:58
specifically architect to accelerate
00:09:00
data Centric workloads absorbing
00:09:03
multiple components of a traditional
00:09:05
server into a single piece of silicon it
00:09:08
runs in fact cloud storage workloads at
00:09:11
three times less power and four times
00:09:14
the performance I mean what this will do
00:09:15
for storage is what smart NS did for uh
00:09:19
host and the network uh these are going
00:09:21
to do for storage and today we're
00:09:23
announcing the preview of Nvidia
00:09:26
blackwall AI infrastructure on azure
00:09:32
now you know Blackwell is pretty amazing
00:09:35
it's got the 72 gpus on a single Envy
00:09:38
link domain and then you combine it with
00:09:40
infinite band on the back end these
00:09:42
racks are optimized for the most Cutting
00:09:44
Edge uh training workloads and you know
00:09:48
and inference workloads so we are very
00:09:49
excited about having Blackwell and today
00:09:52
we're introducing in fact Azure HB V5
00:09:55
which we
00:09:56
co-engineered with AMD uh it's up to
00:10:00
eight times faster than any other Cloud
00:10:02
virtual machine setting a new standard
00:10:05
for high performance Computing and it'll
00:10:07
be generally available next year uh and
00:10:09
we are very excited to announce that we
00:10:12
are bringing our Flagship operational
00:10:15
database SQL Server natively to fabric
00:10:19
with Microsoft fabric
00:10:26
databases just like Fabrics simplified
00:10:30
every aspect of an organization's
00:10:32
analytical needs we want to do the same
00:10:35
for operational uh databases so now with
00:10:38
Microsoft fabric customers have an
00:10:40
Enterprise data platform that serves all
00:10:43
of their use cases right whether it's
00:10:45
batch data real time or even massive
00:10:48
transactional performance all in one
00:10:51
unified uh product and all of that data
00:10:54
is in open-source formats in Fabrics one
00:10:57
L and that's why we're building out a
00:11:01
first class app server for the AI AG
00:11:06
announcing aure AI
00:11:12
Foundry with Foundry we are unifying all
00:11:16
of our models tooling safety and
00:11:20
Monitoring Solutions into a single
00:11:22
experience integrated with the most
00:11:25
popular developer tools available as a
00:11:27
standalone SDK and a portal uh it all
00:11:31
starts in fact with our approach to
00:11:33
models we know models and model Choice
00:11:36
obviously sit at the core of every use
00:11:39
case you want to be able to optimize for
00:11:40
cogs latency and performance and we want
00:11:43
to help you choose that right model for
00:11:45
the right job in fact we now have
00:11:48
1,800 models in our catalog in addition
00:11:51
to our own offerings we're also
00:11:53
announcing new collaboration to help
00:11:55
developers accelerate this model
00:11:57
customization from data prep and
00:12:00
generation to training eval
00:12:03
experimentation with fine-tune models
00:12:05
these are all the considerations of an
00:12:06
app server uh our work with Gretel labs
00:12:10
and scale AI helps developers remove uh
00:12:13
data bottlenecks make data AI ready for
00:12:16
training we're working with stat to help
00:12:19
customers configure run like these fast
00:12:21
AB tests using different models also
00:12:24
introducing a new service to help you
00:12:27
simplify the creation of all of these AI
00:12:30
powered agents right our new agent
00:12:33
service helps developers build deploy
00:12:37
and scale AI apps that automate business
00:12:40
processes um you know I showed you
00:12:43
before how you can use copilot Studio to
00:12:45
build agents just with few clicks but
00:12:47
develop as developers you want a code
00:12:49
first approach to building an agent and
00:12:51
that's what the agent service really
00:12:54
enables you can build agents that are
00:12:56
grounded in data wherever it lives
00:12:59
public data from the web Enterprise data
00:13:01
in Microsoft 365 SharePoint or you can
00:13:05
leverage even Fabrics one Lake to unify
00:13:08
your data across all of your clouds and
00:13:11
these agents then can take actions right
00:13:14
so you want to be able to give action
00:13:16
space to these agents and you can take
00:13:19
that you know 1,200 plus connectors we
00:13:22
have in logic apps that we have been
00:13:24
using as you know in our app services
00:13:26
and you can connect it to the agent run
00:13:28
time and and that's why we are very
00:13:30
excited to share that we are bringing
00:13:32
really new management capabilities to
00:13:34
Foundry for example we're introducing AI
00:13:37
reports that will help developers
00:13:39
document and share their applications
00:13:42
use case and most importantly eval
00:13:44
results because I think one of the ways
00:13:46
we're going to be able to think about
00:13:48
and talk about and reason about what
00:13:49
your application does is through the
00:13:51
evals of the models on which it's built
00:13:54
uh safety is the most important feature
00:13:56
of any AI app uh and we'll continue to
00:13:58
ensure sure we have the best tools to
00:14:01
build these secure AI apps including
00:14:04
things like prom shield and so that you
00:14:07
can detect and block manipulation of
00:14:09
outputs uh for your business content and
00:14:12
today also we are announcing uh you know
00:14:15
risk and safety evaluations for image
00:14:17
content that's become a very important
00:14:19
consideration right in Foundry and today
00:14:21
I'm really thrilled to announce yet
00:14:23
another Milestone this time with adom
00:14:25
Computing we just doubled the previous
00:14:28
record creating a machine of 24 logical
00:14:33
cubits I mean to just kind of put this
00:14:36
in perspective like the these logical
00:14:38
cubits are all entangled making it the
00:14:40
foundation for the world's most powerful
00:14:42
Quantum machines and and to give you a
00:14:44
sense for why this matters uh if you add
00:14:47
100 of these reliable cubits you will
00:14:50
have scientific Quantum Advantage uh
00:14:52
will you know could be achieved and so
00:14:55
this is then that'll unlock as you can
00:14:57
imagine the computing Power to Go solve
00:14:59
some of the most pressing challenges we
00:15:01
have
