However, when applying this information to security strategy, resilience and operational maturity are the result.


In a recent Security Insider Conversation with Capgemini’s Vice President of Cloud and Infrastructure Services, Mona Ghadiri, the discussion moved quickly beyond novel techniques and into something more consequential: what it actually takes to run modern security operations at scale. Governance that produces proof, not paperwork. Security programs that reinforce good behavior instead of just flagging failures. And resilience that extends far beyond disaster recovery.


The takeaway for security leaders is straightforward: emerging technologies don’t change the fundamentals of security. They expose whether those fundamentals were strong to begin with.

In November 2025, Microsoft published its latest Secure Future Initiative (SFI) Progress Report, outlining measurable progress across engineering, governance, and cultural accountability.


The report details 28 objectives, risk reduction efforts, and governance alignment across the company. In a recent Security Insider Conversations interview we sat down with leaders directly involved in shaping and operationalizing SFI to unpack what those numbers represent in practice.

As organizations move quickly to adopt AI, security leaders are facing a familiar challenge in a new form: how to innovate at speed without increasing risk. At Microsoft Ignite, we sat down with our partners at IBM to talk candidly about what Secure by Design looks like in practice, and why it’s becoming a foundational expectation beyond its previous buzzword status.


This conversation is about how organizations need to change their mindset, culture, and the real-world tradeoffs security and business leaders are navigating as AI becomes embedded across the enterprise. All of which stems from IBM’s Institute for Business value’s most recent paper Secure by design, smarter with AI.


“AI doesn’t fundamentally change the fact that security is a cat-and-mouse game, but it does make that game move much faster,” said Srini Tummalapenta, co-author of the new paper and Distinguished Engineer & CTO IBM Security Services.

Like years past, Microsoft Threat Intelligence identifies several themes that security teams should make themselves aware of, and more importantly, our recommendations on how to best address them.


As part of the report we sat down with Chloé Messdaghi, one of the architects behind the report, who explains not just what defenders are up against, but how leaders should respond. Below, we break down each recommendation and what it means in practice for security leaders navigating 2025.
