Leveraging LLMs for Networking & Security in Cloud Environments

Deepak Bansal, Microsoft

Abstract: Customer networks have grown, mostly organically, large and complex in cloud environments like Azure. Customers are often afraid to make changes and find it hard to diagnose when things go wrong. In this talk, I am going to share how Microsoft is using LLMs to simplify network operations at scale in Azure and how it is enabling the same for its customers through Azure Copilot. On the security side, I will share how LLMs are being used to enable security monitoring and threat hunting.
