"Your findings don't mean anything!" - this is what one of our customers was told by their customer before they used ARGOS. No context, no relation to what their customer did, just a "stupid" CSPM style list of findings. How? Read on...

Today, managed to code and ship a few ARGOS Cloud Security UX fixes that really bugged me for a few months now: - pre-scan input validation -> scan now doesn't even start if creds don't work, incl proper error message to user - lots of frontend typos 🫠 It's not always shiny features 🫣

Microsoft Well-Architected Reviews. Looking beyond "just security" a lot of orgs want to know how well they're "doing cloud" generally. We already cover the Azure Security pillar with a great customer-ready report in minutes & over 200 controls. Curious? argos-security.io

Them: "which MCP did you use the most yesterday?" Them: "what's your number 1 MCP?" Them: "where do you host all your MCP?" Me: this feels like kubernetes all over again. I don't know what this is and why I should care as a consumer.

Reminder! It's almost time that those old pesky TLS versions are turned off by Microsoft. Use ARGOS to help your customers (or yourself) to understand where to start. Watch this short demo of ARGOS in action. argos-security.io/videos/#Find_d… #azure #cloudsecurity #cloud #cybersecurity

This was a super fun movie. Thoroughly enjoyed it with so many (not too obvious) Easter eggs for the fans! 🥰 #JurassicPark #JurassicWorld

MCP and I don't mix it seems. I chose to try the new Azure API Management MCP feature which makes it look super easy. VS Code GitHub agent however just won't connect. There's basically nothing to configure. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Anybody got experience?

Happy dance today! Two meetings: - Head of Professional Services mentioned how ARGOS Cloud Security saves them avg 3 days of effort on a 5 day gig. - Security Consultant " **o**** creates way too many false positives. You don't, because you check the rest of the environment for me."

Did a thing today, super happy. 11 years after moving here we're finally Australians. Came here with a few boxes and bags, eventually became permanent residents, bought a house, started a cybersecurity company, became a parent. What a journey of ups and downs. Loved it so far!

Reddit is not a fan of Microsoft Security Copilot. reddit.com/r/AZURE/s/JgjZ… I tend to agree with what I'm reading. I still haven't met anybody who uses it for their day job who is convinced that it's worth it.
