Cloud & AI Security

Cloud app security, AI governance, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, and lifecycle workflows.

Cloud services and AI agents are expanding the attack surface faster than traditional security models can adapt. From shadow AI tools exfiltrating classified data to unmanaged service principals with excessive permissions, nine insider and network risks demand new governance frameworks. Defender for Cloud Apps, Global Secure Access, and AI agent governance provide the visibility and control needed to embrace innovation without compromising security posture.
