Bob Bruns shared thisGreat example of innovating on the Microsoft platform for security. Love it.Bob Bruns shared thisProud to Represent Avanade as a Keynote Presenter at GovWare 2025! I had the incredible opportunity to take the stage at GovWare 2025, presenting a pioneering collaboration between Samsung, Microsoft Sentinel, and Avanade—the integration of Samsung Knox Asset Intelligence (KAI) with Microsoft Sentinel. This connector delivers enriched telemetry and deeper visibility across Samsung devices, enabling smarter threat detection and strengthening enterprise security. Grateful to the brilliant minds at Samsung, Microsoft, and my colleagues at Avanade Sarah Rench & Prasad Chaudhari for driving this forward. Thank you to everyone who joined the session and shared your insights! Here’s a snippet from my keynote presentation—apologies for the sound quality in the recording! #GovWare2025 #CyberDefense #MicrosoftSentinel #SamsungKnox #KAI #ThreatIntelligence #CyberSecurity #Innovation #Avanade #Singapore

Bob Bruns shared thisThanks to Kris Burkhardt for inviting me to be a part of his Accenture InfoSec Beat podcast. I think I have one of the best CISO jobs out there. It was great to share the story of how Avanade works as an innovation arm for Microsoft and how Accenture helps prove out solutions at scale. It’s a powerful collaboration that benefits all three companies, and our clients too. #Cybersecurity #Innovation #Accenture #Avanade #Microsoft @Greg PetersenBob Bruns shared thisI always enjoy a good CISO-to-CISO discussion! Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with good friend and colleague Bob Bruns who also happens to be the CISO of Avanade. You can hear our conversation in the new episode of my Accenture InfoSec Beat podcast. As a joint venture between Accenture and Microsoft, Avanade delivers Microsoft security solutions for clients and uses them to protect their enterprise. So, Bob has a perspective on the Microsoft security ecosystem that no one else does. It was fascinating to get his take on the power of platforms and AI in security. Bob also shared how Avanade helps shape Microsoft’s security offerings. Drawing from his own experience and client conversations, he offered valuable lessons for CISOs. I couldn’t agree more that enabling the business by balancing innovation with a strong security posture is essential.
