Microsoft Foundry
Microsoft Defender for Cloud

To secure Microsoft Foundry environments requires layered protections that control access, safeguard credentials, isolate network communication, and maintain visibility across connected resources. The approach includes defining access boundaries with Microsoft Entra ID and project roles, and integrating Key Vault for secret management. It also uses managed virtual networks, Private Link, and diagnostic logging to maintain privacy, visibility, and compliance. These practices create secure, traceable AI environments that support collaboration without compromising protection.
