Session Abstract

Security isn't a feature you add - it's a principle you engineer. The security landscape is changing faster than ever as AI accelerates both innovation and cyber threats. Join the Windows Security team for a roadmap-driven look at how Microsoft is evolving Windows to help organizations stay secure, resilient, and productive in the AI era. We'll explore the strategy, principles, and investments shaping the future of Windows security—from secure-by-design and secure-by-default protections to advancements in identity and data protection, hardware-backed security, boot integrity, application control, agentic security, and post-quantum readiness. You'll also get insight into how Microsoft is applying AI across the security lifecycle, including vulnerability discovery and response, as part of a broader effort to strengthen trust in the platform. Whether you're a security leader, architect, or IT professional, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of Microsoft's vision for endpoint security, the direction of key Windows security investments, and how these capabilities work together to help defend against evolving threats.
