External key management for Azure Managed HSM is now in public preview

Azure Key Vault Managed Hardware Security Module (HSM) provides strong sovereignty over your encryption keys. Keys are generated and stored in a single-tenant, FIPS 140-3 Level 3 HSM that only you control: Microsoft has no access to your key material, and you govern who can use each key. The post External key management for Azure Managed HSM is now in public preview appeared first on Microsoft Azure Blog.

How We Know What We Know

In 1936, a mathematician named Alan Turing asked one of the most consequential questions in the history of computing: Can a machine think? The question has become especially popular nowadays with the development of AI. But before Turing would answer it, he had to answer a harder question: how would we know? What would count as evidence? His answer — the Turing test — was not a definition of intelligence. It was a framework for generating evidence. The question was epistemological before it was t

A developer's guide to publishing agents in Gemini Enterprise and Google Cloud Marketplace

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is evolving into Agents-as-a-service (AaaS). Instead of isolated applications, developers are creating AI agents that interoperate using standardized open protocols such as the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol and can be orchestrated through centralized agent platforms like Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. When building for your specific use case, we believe the goal should always be to engineer high-quality agents that combine autonomy with the ability to reliably execut

BGP route policies: Top 3 use cases by customer demand

When we first made BGP route policies for Cloud Router generally available over a year ago, our goal was to give network administrators deep, programmable control over how network paths are evaluated and propagated. Since then, we’ve been watching closely how our customers have adopted this feature. We've seen network engineering teams build incredibly sophisticated, resilient routing architectures that were previously difficult to achieve without third-party virtual appliances. This year, we la

Drive proactive security, prioritize risks with Google Threat Intelligence and Wiz ASM

Being more proactive continues to be a leading goal for security organizations. As AI accelerates the pace of vulnerability discovery and exploitation, organizations will rely on the personalization of their security investments to help prioritize their defenses. To help you be more proactive by matching your real-world exposures with real-time adversary activity, we’ve begun integration efforts between Google Threat Intelligence and Wiz Attack Surface Management (ASM). By connecting exposure an

20 questions for the Agentic Enterprise (and how Agent Platform can help)

If you’re an IT leader, you might be getting a lot of questions about how to build and deploy agents.  The pressure to move fast is intense, but the engineering reality is incredibly complex. Where do your teams even begin? How do you untangle a fragmented mess of disconnected tools? And as things grow, how do you ensure your agents don’t accidentally leak sensitive data, or burn through your token budget in an afternoon? It’s a lot to balance, and trying to establish a secure foundation for an
