Can you believe we’re halfway through the year already? It’s the perfect time to take stock of one of the most critical and fast-evolving areas in tech: AI Security and Responsible AI.

In this episode we unpack how AI security has progressed, spotlight some recent incidents that have raised eyebrows, explore why the focus on these topics is accelerating, and dive into the unique risks posed by Agentic AI—those autonomous AI agents that are both game-changers and potential nightmares. Plus, we’ll wrap up with practical recommendations for organizations to stay ahead of the curve in the second half of 2025

For those who’ve been following along, you know that the Must Learn KQL book has been a game-changer for analysts, engineers, and security professionals looking to master Kusto Query Language. It’s been the go-to resource for breaking down complex queries, optimizing performance, and truly understanding how to wield KQL like a pro.

And now, the next chapter—literally—is almost here.

By request, it’s Purview month! Join us for the month of July 2025 as we give the sometimes-forgotten Microsoft security platform product it’s proper due.

Meatballs theme song lyrics

Are You Ready for the Summer?Performed by Camp North Star Kids Chorus

Are you ready for the summer?Are you ready for the good times?Are you ready for the sunshine?Gonna be, gonna be a fine time!

No more pencils, no more books,No more teachers' dirty looks,Out for summer, out till fall,We might not go back at all!

Are you ready for the summer?Are you ready for the good times?Are you ready for the sunshine?Gonna be, gonna be a fine time!

Campfires burning, stars are bright,Singin' songs by the firelight,Swimmin', sailin', ridin' too,Lots of fun for me and you!

Are you ready for the summer?Are you ready for the good times?Are you ready for the sunshine?Gonna be, gonna be a fine time!
