In the agentic era, the stakes are higher: AI agents now act with real access to your identities, your data, and your cloud, so every adoption decision is a trust decision. That is why security is a through line at Microsoft Ignite 2026, from a Security Pre-Day before the event opens to a security segment in the keynote, and four security themes across all four days.

Join us in San Francisco from November 17 to 20, 2026, or online. See the Microsoft Security roadmap first, get hands-on with new agentic security solutions, and connect directly with the experts, partners, and peers who can help you make it real. This year we spotlight our AI-first, end-to-end security platform designed to protect identities, devices, data, applications, clouds, infrastructure, and the AI agents now working alongside your teams.

Register for Microsoft Ignite 2026 Why you should attend Microsoft Ignite

• Understand where Microsoft is placing its bets. See what is being announced, what is shipping next, and what it means for your architecture, your security operations center (SOC), and your governance model.
• Build skills you can use immediately. Technical breakouts run from level 200 to level 400, paired with instructor-led labs and onsite certifications, so you leave with implementation guidance rather than slideware.
• Pressure-test your plans with the people who built it. Bring your real architecture, deployment, and roadmap questions to Microsoft engineers, MVPs, and the product teams behind these tools.
• See the proof, not the promise. Customer stories, live demos, and partner solutions show what is already working in production today.
• Connect with the people who make it real. Expert meetups, connection pods, table talks, and evening events put you alongside security practitioners, leaders, Microsoft partners, and peers working the same problems.

Explore the Security sessions at Microsoft Ignite 2026

Below are the four themes shaping this year’s Security track, along with a few sessions you will not want to miss. You can view the full catalog here and filter by topic, format, and role to plan your week.

Here is an overview of the Security tracks with some highlights of our top sessions.

Defend with AI

Security operations are being rebuilt around agents. This track covers what changes when AI can not only analyze but act, and how the SOC’s operating model, data foundation, and response playbooks have to evolve to keep pace.

Sessions to watch for

• The Alert Is Dead. The Blueprint for the Agentic SOC, which maps what replaces alert-centric operations end to end.
• The Agentic SOC Reality Check: Market Hype vs. AI Models vs. Automation, a real-time architectural breakdown with no slides and no canned speeches.
• Winning the Race Against Time with Autonomous Protection, on how AI is changing the economics of cyberattacks and how to compress your response window.
• Turn signal into real-time protections with Project Perception, a hands-on lab in agentic security.

Also in this track: threat intelligence at AI speed, AI-powered endpoint vulnerability discovery and remediation, attack disruption, finding and fixing code vulnerabilities with codename MDASH, and building the security data foundation the agentic SOC runs on.

Secure AI

Your organization is already shipping agents. This track is about seeing them, governing them, and protecting them from code to runtime, across the identities they use and the data they touch.

Sessions to watch for

• When AI acts, security has to answer: Microsoft Security for AI, the platform view of securing agentic AI.
• Inside look: Microsoft Security as customer zero for Agent 365, covering what we learned running it ourselves.
• Local agents are here. Can you find and secure them?, paired with a companion lab on end-to-end threat protection for local agents.
• AI Agents Are Scaling. Are Your Access Controls Ready?, a peer discussion on identity for non-human actors.

Also in this track: prioritizing and remediating your riskiest agents, a Zero Trust approach to securing AI runtime with Microsoft Defender, data protection and governance for agents with Microsoft Purview, securing Microsoft 365 Copilot and Cowork, and turning AI security research into deployable defenses.

Get Ready for AI

Before you scale AI, the fundamentals have to hold: identity, device and app trust, data hygiene, exposure management, and Zero Trust. This track is the practitioner’s path to an AI-ready security foundation.

Sessions to watch for

• Build secure foundations to scale AI across your organization, the anchor session for this track.
• Identity Knows What Your SOC Doesn’t: Stop Threats Faster Together, on closing the gap between identity and security operations.

• Zero Trust for AI workshop, a hands-on lab with a companion lightning talk, Apply Zero Trust for AI: the practitioner’s shortlist.
• Insights from Microsoft’s journey to prepare its data for AI adoption, on what it actually took internally.

Also in this track: reducing exposure across your digital estate, a single policy model for humans and agents, protecting cloud and container applications from code to runtime, getting privileged access right, and getting more out of the E5 you already own.

Secure Data

Data is the substrate AI runs on, and the thing cyberattackers are after. This track is about discovering, classifying, and protecting sensitive data across clouds, devices, AI apps, and agents.

Sessions to watch for

• Microsoft Purview: Build the Trusted Data Foundation for AI, the place to start.
• Strengthen and Manage Data Security Posture with Microsoft Purview, on data security posture management in practice.

Most backends eventually need to do something once at a specific time. Revoke a trial after 30 days. Expire an offer. Retry a payment in 30 minutes. A few months ago I was consulting for a logistics platform. Their freight bidding workflow had a lot of timed steps. Every minute a cron queries all pending records and pushes them into Kafka. It worked. But it taxes the VM, DB, and message bus alike and creates a ton of unnecessary observability data.

A durable delay queue could be a better fit. But unfortunately, there are not many reliable options for scheduling long-term events.

Back in 2014 I wrote a Go library. It was a delay queue inspired by App Engine's push queues. It ensured durability with a WAL write. It kept them in a sorted heap. At startup ran it in their production. At a throughput of a few thousand tasks/second, it worked well for them.

But, I wanted to achieve millions of timers and much higher throughput. But there was also a bug I could not find. So I shelved it.

Twelve years later, I was cleaning up some old repos. I asked Claude Code if it could find the bug. And ... it found the bug. It was meant to only append to the WAL, but somewhere along the way every task started paying for a full synced commit. My "few thousand tasks/sec" ceiling was the disk's sync rate. The next few hours were pure bliss. Ideas I had carried around for years finally made it back into code. I rewrote it with a segmented WAL and group commit. Far future timers now loaded in memory only at the onset of the horizon. Now it is not no more a built in library but can run as as stand alone service.

Dispatch runs over HTTP/2. It has retries and idempotency keys. The rusty old code suddenly runs like a supercar.

Early numbers on 1 vCPU with ext4 on virtio and 128 byte payloads. - Durable add 107,500/s with 256 writers - End to end durable dispatch 157,000/s - About 44 bytes per pending timer with disk spill - About 403 bytes when resident

Now I'm wondering if anyone actually needs it.

The alternatives I know all have trade-offs. * Cron with DB - polling means duplicates and drift * Redis queues - have persistence trade-offs. Also, far-future schedules will always occupy memory despite durability config. Low thousands throughput * EventBridge - has one-minute granularity, low thousands throughput, and is AWS-only. * SQS and Cloud Tasks - have limits and per-task costs * Temporal, Step Functions etc. - are full workflow engines. resource intensive

I'm thinking about adding HTTP/3, gRPC and Arrow. I also want smarter loading based on available memory. Later I may look at partitioning and Raft. But before I turn this into another opensource project that nobody uses. I would like to hear from people who actually deal with this.

- What do you use for delayed or scheduled work? - What bugs you about it? - Would you run a dedicated durable timer service? - Anyone dealing with millions of future/far-future timers? How do you handle them?

All answers are welcome :-)
