Azure apparatchik shows custom silicon keeping everything locked down Microsoft is one of the biggest names in cybersecurity, but it has a less-than-stellar track record in the department. Given its reputation, Redmond can't afford to mess around when it comes to securing its cloud customers' data and workloads. At the annual Hot Chips conference on Monday, Bryan Kelly, a partner security …
Microsoft can put as many “quantum-safe” locks and anti-tamper seals on its boxes as it likes. The moment the Cloud Act is invoked, those locks pop open. And with Washington visibly compromised - from the White House down to the intelligence agencies - customers aren’t buying protection, they’re buying plausible deniability. Encrypt it in transit, encrypt it at rest, encrypt it in memory - but it won’t stop the files taking a day-trip to Moscow the next time Putin mentions the word “Epstein”.

He must have used a recent version of .NET.
I don't think it was making .NET open source that lowered the quallity though, that was more likely caused by sacking good devs and replacing them with a worthless LLM.
WEP. RC4. RSA SecurID fob backdoor bribe. Intel SGX enclaves and 'Foreshadow' vulnerability. Kernel memory and System Management Mode memory compromise by Foreshadow-NG.
This time, THIS TIME, we trust that you will get all the details correct, AND that you won't be bribed by a government to build in a back door.
Because it's quantum crypto safe.
Yeah, pull the other one.
I think I recognize the "Azure Boost" module bottom right as an incarnation of "Project Brainwave" which was presented a few years ago - a giant FPGA with a few gig of RAM and a couple of 40G NICs for doing "bump in the wire" low latency server clustering. I guess that must be part of a standard Azure node build now.
