The cloud shapes how nearly every application is built today, even those still running in your own data center, and every architecture decision is also a security decision. This track brings together the patterns and practices you need to design systems that scale, stay resilient, and keep attackers out. You'll explore event-driven solutions on Azure, see what it takes to build production-ready APIs with .NET, and hear why leaving room to be wrong is one of the smartest architectural choices you can make. On the security side, you'll get a clear explanation of ASP.NET Core authentication, find out whether your access tokens are as secure as you think, and learn how to turn the pile of findings in your security dashboard into code that is actually more secure. And because AI agents are now writing and running code in your environment, you'll see how they can escape your sandbox, and what you can do about it. If you're responsible for how your systems are designed, deployed, or protected, this track is for you.
