Bhuvi Vatsey shared thisYesterday at Build // localhost: Vancouver, I spoke on "Building Intelligent Agentic Workflows" — sharing what I've learned building, optimizing, and orchestrating agents. My uber goal was to land the message that "all of us, regardless of role, have powerful agentic use-cases waiting to be unlocked". But in all this excitement where AI agents can take real actions on our behalf, we need to make sure security is enforced by design, not bolted on after. The moment an agent starts acting for you, you need the right solutions and systems in place to enforce access controls, identity, governance, guardrails and policy. Grateful to Egina Malaj, Ph.D. for the invite, and to share the stage with Venkat Gowrishankar, Pouya Fattahi, MBA, and co-hosts Marryam K. & David Nudelman. Thanks to #MicrosoftVancouver for hosting and to the Global AI Community. And to everyone who came out and engaged with us - thank you. Let's keep building — and securing. #MSBuild #MicrosoftBuild2026 #BuildLocalhost #Security #GlobalAICommunity #AIAgents #AgenticAI #AzureAI #MicrosoftAI #VancouverAI #VancouverTech

Bhuvi Vatsey shared thisThe threat model has changed. Local agents and "claws" don't behave like apps — they run under your identity with direct access to your files, credentials, and tools. At #MSBuild 2026, Agent 365 control plane got extended to local agents — so security teams can observe, secure, and govern at every layer: 🗂️ Agent 365 — Agent Registry (incl. Shadow AI detection) — unified inventory of local agents on managed Windows/macOS devices, including unsanctioned ones. Public preview later in June. 🛡️ Defender — discovers local agents on Defender-onboarded devices, maps their MCP server configs, and at runtime detects unsafe behavior inline across prompts, tool calls, and responses, blocking risky actions before they execute. Public preview. 🔏 Purview — extends DLP to agent interactions: prevents sensitive data leakage as agents call tools or generate outputs, and keeps a full audit trail. Public preview. 🔑 Entra — extends SASE to local agents, enforcing agent-specific network policy (separate from user traffic) to restrict web access, control file transfers, and limit connections to trusted services. Public preview. ⚙️ Intune — governs execution through device policy: blocks unauthorized agents (e.g., OpenClaw on Windows) and configures how managed agents run via MXC and Windows 365 for Agents. Public preview. 📦 Microsoft Execution Containers (MXC) — a composable, policy-driven sandbox across Windows and WSL. Developers declare what an agent can access (files, networking); MXC enforces those boundaries at runtime. Early preview. Runtime controls land first for Claude Code and GitHub Copilot CLI, with OpenClaw and OpenAI Codex coming late June. Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/g2ZsaRAK Security stays front and center in the agentic era. As the threat model evolves, so must the security model.

Bhuvi Vatsey shared thisIt’s a wrap, folks—another Ignite in the books! The best part for me? Engaging conversations with an incredible range of partners and customers. So many “aha” moments filled with high-fives, fist bumps, and comments like: 👉 “Wait… it can do THAT too?” 👉 “Oh wow! I have so many ideas to share with my team now!” The use cases customers want to enable with AI show just how powerful this technological shift is. Creativity and passion were off the charts—and not limited to specific roles or personas. Talking about Microsoft Security and Foundry gave me the chance to showcase how AI can augment productivity and innovation—securely. 🔑 Biggest takeaway: Security is front and center as we build and adopt agentic AI. With growing AI adoption, protecting data, identities, agents, and agent behavior is critical. Staying in control while having the right tools for interoperability, observability, compliance, and privacy—all essential for trustworthy and scalable AI. 🌟 My top picks from Ignite: Agent 365 – The control plane for AI agents Fabric IQ & Foundry IQ – Universal context layer; Foundry IQ integration with Purview for compliance, data security, and governance Security Copilot – 40 new agents announced across Microsoft Security (Defender, Entra, Intune, Purview); Security Copilot included in Microsoft 365 E5 Foundry Control Plane – Help developers manage and defend agents, powered by Entra, Defender, and Purview To learn more on the announcements, you can view the keynote on demand here: https://lnkd.in/gWChbWYC Book of news: https://lnkd.in/g4nY2MYb #MSFT #Ignite #Security #AI Huge thanks to all my co-experts and organizers for their support and collaboration: Laura Wolf Muneeza Zaidi Saurabh Jain Aditya Aggarwal Dharini Sundaram Ryan M.

Bhuvi Vatsey reacted on thisBhuvi Vatsey reacted on thisToday I am officially retiring after 19 years at Microsoft, having accepted the VRP offer, and the first thing that comes to mind is gratitude. For the opportunities, and for the many managers, leaders, and colleagues I was fortunate to learn from. A career is really a journey filled with the people who walk beside you, and I have been remarkably lucky in mine. Of everything I did at Microsoft, becoming the lead of our data security team was my greatest privilege. I was hesitant to take the role at first, and I remember using a Robert Frost quote to capture the decision: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. This decision changed the shape of my career. The role shaped the kind of person I am today, because it allowed me to help others grow. Mentoring and coaching people toward their own version of success is what I will take forward as one of my biggest impacts at Microsoft. None of it would have been possible without Donna, my partner of 25 years, whose steadiness, encouragement, and love were the foundation under all of it. And my kids, Asha Kalyan and Dillon Kalyan, who now remind me daily why any of it mattered. Whatever I contributed here was made possible by the three of them. Several people have asked me, “Are you ready?” Climber Melissa Arnot spoke to our team about her first climb of Everest without supplemental oxygen. She had trained, yet still wasn’t convinced she was ready, so she asked her Sherpa partner, "Do you think I am ready?" He told her: “Melissa, you don’t get to know if you are ready. You just go, and then you will know.” This resonates deeply with me, because it applies to nearly every journey in life that matters both personally and professionally. The person who arrives at the summit is different from the person who started. The starting person cannot know what the arriving person will be capable of, because the arriving person does not yet exist. They are created by the climb itself. The hardest climb I never trained for was losing Donna to cancer in January of 2025. In her last days she told me something I think about often: “Raman, don’t let the death of me be the death of you.” Since that day I decided to keep living, fully and with intention. For her, for my kids, and most of all for myself. Most of what is written about grief focuses on what is lost. However, I have realized that I gained something that cannot be taken from me: the knowledge of what full participation in life, with love, looks like. That love is now my foundation and the fuel for what comes next. So today I will do what I have done every day for years. I will open the door and start walking forward. I do not know where the path leads, but I am grateful, optimistic, and free to be present however I choose to be. To everyone who has been part of this chapter, thank you. I’ll carry the memories I made with you with me always. Till we meet again, Raman

Bhuvi Vatsey liked thisBhuvi Vatsey liked thisSo today, after 40 odd years with IBM (Intern/Fulltime) and Kyndryl I've decided that it's time for a change of pace - so have hung up the coding sheets, Product Release/Project Plans, Management Tasks, Technology Services and the daily 'fun' of life in the IT world. It's been a wild ride from product development for IBM Z, IBM i, IBM OS/2, the introduction of Java and members of the IBM WebSphere family through to helping standup the new Kyndryl Services for IBM Z and IBM i post the IBM GTS spinout. Culminating in Kyndryl releasing the first IBM Z AI Delivery Services. Throughout this time I've had the privilege of working with some of the most talented people in the industry, from across the globe, on all of these topics. It's been 'fun' as I said but now is the time for me to focus on 'other stuff' (like my model railway!). To all my friends and colleagues out there in 'LinkedIn Land' I thank you for the years of engagement and support and wish you well and good luck in the future but remember the future is 'Undiscovered' so our paths may cross again in the future......

Bhuvi Vatsey liked thisBhuvi Vatsey liked thisLast Saturday, I gave a talk + Microsoft Foundry demo on building production-ready AI systems with a great group of AI practitioners at VAM! I started with the million-dollar question: why do AI products stall in production? There are a bunch of reasons, and judging by LinkedIn, we may have already collectively listed them a few hundred times. But one thing I see often is that governance gets added too late. Usually right around the time everyone is already asking ‘when can this go live?’ For me, the practical pieces are: * Build a domain testing strategy with stakeholders * Evaluate beyond LLM-as-judge, including multi-turn flows, grounding, safety, and tool use * Monitor continuously and in batch after release * Use your traces as insights!! I also showed how this can start coming together in Microsoft Foundry, with a demo on the AI Red Teaming Agent and the latest evaluation capabilities. It is a good example of governance moving closer to the actual delivery workflow, instead of endless slides about RAI. Thanks so much to Pawel Zarzycki and Issam Laradji for having me. Kudos to fellow presenter Yuwei Yin for the insightful talk on intent understanding and how important it is for AI development. And thanks to everyone for the fruitful discussion afterwards. #ResponsibleAI #AIGovernance #ProductionAI #LLMOps #AIOps #MicrosoftFoundry #AIAgents #AgenticAI #MicrosoftAI #MVPBuzz #VancouverAI #VancouverTech

Bhuvi Vatsey liked thisseeing a photo like this can only mean one thing... And no, I haven't retired from Microsoft (despite rumours) but today is my last day on the Microsoft/GitHub train! The journey started focusing on engaging the Stockholm developer community and grew to educating literally millions of developers globally which I never could have imagined. If you ever consumed any of my content or hung out in the Discord, I'm forever grateful🙏🏾 I've learned so much from leaders like Amy Boyd Lee Stott Justin Garrett Erika Szentmartoni John Papa Rey Bango and Martin Woodward to take into my next role. To respect LinkedIn culture, I will not expose where I'm going next to increase engagement. For now I'll be eating my weight in ice cream and staying up late to watch the world cup matches the rest of the summer.

Bhuvi Vatsey reacted on thisBhuvi Vatsey reacted on thisPlease help me find a job - I’ve been unemployed for too long (2.5 years). Applying to postings isn’t working and I’m not breaking this job market. Long-time recruiters I know say they have never seen a job market this bad in 30 years, including in the worst recessions. In my case I’ve spent through my savings, got evicted and am living in my car. After posting this for months, I still don’t have a job but many people have said encouraging things and I have raised some money via a GoFundMe to survive in the near future (thanks to those people) but I also know it won’t last so I have to keep it going. (link at the end). Here’s the rest of my situation. I was laid off from my job at Google almost 2.5 years ago when there were a lot of layoffs. I keep ATS confirmation emails from job applications in a folder and at two years since the layoff, I had applied to 3700 jobs and emailed 2200 founders. I won’t do a new count. Bottom line, I'm getting nowhere. I need a regular job (or monthly contract). It probably has to be a REFERRAL from you because of the hiring environment today. Also, FYI, my present job is just the very rare short term contract. Very rare. The last gig they had me do was a year ago. If you aren’t aware of it, the economy is in really bad shape. Inflation is high, foreclosures and evictions are way up and a lot of jobs are being sent overseas. My background spans high-growth startups and tech giants, with a proven track record of placing specialized talent. I've placed people with all sorts of backgrounds including engineers, finance execs, marketing, artists and others. At Google I focused on security engineers from the FBI, CIA, etc. PLEASE mention me to your friends or hire me. Please. I’m going keep the GoFundMe going because after 2.5 years, I don’t know when this job market will loosen up. I would have preferred a job months ago but finding a job is not happening. https://lnkd.in/geY_6DPi (I will post this daily)

Bhuvi Vatsey liked thisBhuvi Vatsey liked thisThe biggest AI shift is not the model. It is what the model is now allowed to do. For the last two years, we compared AI companies like this: Which model is smarter? Which model writes better? Which model reasons better? Which model is cheaper? But agentic AI changes the question completely. Now the real question is: Can the AI actually complete the work? Can it plan steps? Use tools? Browse? Run code? Interact with business systems? Ask for approval? Continue work in the cloud? Operate with governance? That is where OpenAI, Anthropic, and Microsoft are taking very different paths. OpenAI is building broad agent capabilities across ChatGPT, APIs, Codex, and workspace agents. Anthropic is going deep on controlled autonomy, Claude Code, MCP, tool use, and developer workflows. Microsoft is turning agents into an enterprise operating layer across Microsoft 365, Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry, GitHub Copilot, and governance. This is not just another AI feature race. This is the beginning of a new execution layer for work. The companies that win with AI will not be the ones that simply “use chatbots.” They will be the ones that understand what work can be safely delegated to agents — and what guardrails must exist before that happens. I broke down the agentic AI options from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Microsoft in this carousel. The big takeaway: The future of AI is not just intelligence. It is usable, governable execution. #AgenticAI #ArtificialIntelligence #OpenAI #Anthropic #Microsoft #EnterpriseAI #AIAgents #FutureOfWork #AIAdoption

Bhuvi Vatsey liked thisBhuvi Vatsey liked thisAI is forcing us to rethink one of the most fundamental questions in enterprise technology: What does trust look like in an AI-native world? For decades, enterprise security focused on protecting systems, networks, and identities. Today, AI is changing that equation. As organizations embrace AI and autonomous agents, security is no longer just about defending infrastructure—it is becoming the foundation for enabling innovation. This was the focus of an incredibly insightful conversation I recently had with Krishna Kumar Parthasarathy, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft, on the Tech Leader 360 podcast. Together, we explored some fascinating questions shaping the future of enterprise technology: • Can AI defend systems faster than AI can attack them? • Is identity becoming the new security perimeter? • How will graph intelligence reshape enterprise trust? • What role will agentic AI play in autonomous security operations? • How should organizations prepare for an AI-native future? What impressed me most was Krishna's ability to simplify highly complex concepts while sharing a compelling vision of where enterprise security is heading. His perspective reinforced that AI is not just changing cybersecurity—it is reshaping how businesses will operate, make decisions, and build trust in the years ahead. Thank you, Krishna, for sharing your knowledge and insights with the Tech Leader 360 audience. It was truly a pleasure hosting you. 🎙️ If you're a CIO, CTO, security leader, architect, or technology executive navigating the AI era, I believe you'll find this conversation both timely and thought-provoking.
