OpenAI and Microsoft Sentinel Part 4: What does the future hold?
by Guest danielbates- 0 replies
- 0 views
Welcome to the conclusion of our series on OpenAI and Microsoft Sentinel! Back in Part 1, we introduced the Azure Logic Apps connector for OpenAI and explored the parameters that influence text completion from the GPT3 family of OpenAI Large Language Models (LLMs) with a simple use case: describing the MITRE ATT&CK tactics associated with a Microsoft Sentinel incident. Part 2 covered another useful scenario, summarizing a KQL analytics rule extracted from Sentinel using its REST API. In Part 3, we revisited the first use case and compared the Text Completion (DaVinci) and Chat Completion (Turbo) models. What's left to cover? Well, quite a lot - let's get started!…

Enrich your location data with Azure Maps
by Guest rochabr- 0 replies
- 0 views
Introduction Location information can be very simple or very detailed. For a person delivering a package to certain house, an address with street number, name, city, and state could be more than enough information for them to find the right place. For a vehicle tracking system where you have a map with moving dots representing trucks in real-time, these pieces of data may not be enough to provide clear information to a dispatcher. Adding the latitude and longitude of the vehicle to present its current and historical positions is more important. A very common scenario where the location data in place may not be enough to perform a certain task is when a com…

An easy, low-code tutorial about: How to deploy a Automated ML model on a batch endpoint
by Guest hristinajilova- 0 replies
- 0 views
Suppose you have trained an Automated machine learning classification model to accomplish some tasks, and now you want to use this model as a service for inference. Maybe you do not need to run this model in real time, but only a few times a week or even less frequently. The perfect solution for you could be to deploy your model on a batch endpoint. Unfortunately, Azure Automated ML does not support batch endpoints. There is a known limitation that the scoring script that Automated ML creates only works for Online Endpoints. To overcome this limitation, you need to create your own scoring script that specifies how your model should run and how your input data should …

Enhancements to Azure WAF for Application Gateway now in General Availability
by Guest davidfrazee- 0 replies
- 0 views
Introduction Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) on Azure Application Gateway provides centralized protection for your web applications against common vulnerabilities and exploits. Web applications are increasingly targeted by malicious attacks that vulnerabilities. SQL Injection (SQLi) and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) are examples of some well-known attacks. Preventing such attacks in application code can be challenging and may require rigorous maintenance, patching, and monitoring at many layers of the application topology. A centralized web application firewall helps make security management much simpler and gives better assurance to application developers and secu…

OpenAI and Microsoft Sentinel Part 3: DaVinci vs. Turbo
by Guest danielbates- 0 replies
- 0 views
Welcome back to our series on OpenAI's Large Language Models (LLMs) and Microsoft Sentinel. In the first installment, we built a basic playbook using the built-in Azure Logic Apps connectors for OpenAI and Sentinel to explain MITRE ATT&CK tactics found in an incident and discussed some of the different parameters that can influence the OpenAI model such as temperature and frequency penalty. Next, we extended this functionality with Sentinel's REST API to look up a scheduled analytic rule and return a summary of the rule's detection logic. If you've been following along, you probably noticed that our first playbook looked up MITRE ATT&CK tactics from the S…

Field tips for AKS storage provisioning
by Guest varghesejoji- 0 replies
- 0 views
Introduction In an Azure Kubernetes (AKS) cluster, Pods can access physical storage resources such as disks or volumes using Persistent Volumes (PV). To use these resources, Pods need to make a Persistent Volume Claim (PVC), which requests a specific amount of storage from a storage class. This claim can then be matched to an available Persistent Volume. Azure offers several storage solutions that can be used to provision Persistent Volumes in an AKS cluster. This article will provide real-world guidance on securely using Container Storage Interface (CSI) drivers to provision Azure File Shares and Azure Blob storage in an AKS cluster. Prerequisites …

How to build customized container image for Azure Batch
by Guest Jerry- 0 replies
- 0 views
Sometimes, users will need to install some necessary software/packages in the environment before the task is executed. This can be easily done by using Start task feature of Azure Batch. But when there are many dependencies to be installed, for example 20 packages in Linux and the installation of some of them will take long time such as Tensorflow, it will cause additional problems such as long start task running time when Azure Batch starts Batch node every time or even possible timeout issue or start task failure issue. In order to avoid this issue, user has two options: Custom image and Container. Both of these two features are supported in Azure Batch. T…

Welcome back to Armchair Architects as part of the Azure Enablement Show. Today we're going to talk about this architecture erosion and we're also going to talk about technical debt with our Armchair Architects, Uli Homann and Eric Charran. What does architecture erosion mean? The way Eric thinks about architectural erosion is when architects and engineers work together, they construct a system or solution. They have launched that solution into production. It's performing well for a period of time and then change happens. Whether it's a change in requirements, a change in infrastructure, or a change in customer habits, DevOps signals saying that people are u…

One of the most rewarding aspects of being at Microsoft is the opportunity to work on long-term initiatives with the potential to change the very nature of computing. More than a decade after we launched our first Arm-based device, it’s exciting to witness how the Arm® processor has evolved from powering embedded devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) to the very thing everyone is talking about now. Not just because Arm processors like Microsoft SQ®3 can deliver up to 19 hours of battery life[1] on Surface Pro 9 with 5G. Or that our latest Surface 2-in-1 runs cool and quiet, doesn’t need a fan, and consumes less power than the equivalent Intel Surface Pro 9. This …

Written by Henry Yan (Sr. Product Marketing Manager) Illumio for Azure Firewall enables organizations to understand application traffic and dependencies and apply consistent protection across environments - limiting exposure, containing breaches, and improving efficiency. Cloud environments are dynamic in nature with applications commonly deployed as code and continuously scaling up and down. This makes it more challenging for organizations to secure their applications and gain visibility into application traffic. Organizations need a holistic view of their environment and granular controls to be able to understand risk exposure and protect against emerging …
