Folks, I just released Lokka 2.0 today! The world's first Microsoft Graph MCP server is now a full blown MCP App. First up multi-tenant support. You can now sign into more than one tenant. What does it mean? 1/16

True insight. People are always focused on buying out blocking the big shiny cybersecurity things that generate easy headlines. Nobody likes to pay attention to the boring little tools, just like the fundamentals.

What many seem worried about: Mythos and other Western frontier models being abused by cyber adversaries to do fancy things. What you probably should be more worried about: Contractors for state cyber adversaries building lower-end models specifically for a few targeted things.

🔐 #EntraOps API Permission classification goes beyond #MicrosoftGraph - delegated permission identification got a major upgrade. The upcoming version in #EntraOps brings a significantly expanded #EnterpriseAccess classification model for sensitive Microsoft API permissions.

Everyone's favourite Microsoft Graph MCP is getting a huge update today. You will now be able to get Graph Explorer embedded in the MCP. Shows results as table, change filter and other parameters, open full screen and more! @UgurKocDe and I will be digging into this in tomorrow's one-off live stream event.

Simplicity: the 4th pillar of security that is almost always forgotten (or ignored?) after Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. 🧐

Still waiting for the staggered rollout of Microsoft's MAI models to hit my GitHub account. Have any of you seen them show up yet?

Microsoft's Work IQ agent is 𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙩. Don't waste time trying to coordinate your own schedule!
Prompt: "Looking ahead 3 months on my calendar, are there any days between Monday and Thursday that the 4-5 PM hour is consistently available? Does this trend repeat backwards as well?" Initial Response: "I analyzed your calendar patterns using the available upcoming and past event data (over 100 meetings identified in the scan), focusing specifically on Monday–Thursday between 4–5 PM."

My 🧠 with insomnia: “Here’s a cool idea for that thing.” “Awesome, that could develop into something real!” 🔁 Still in bed 2 hours later with AI chats about multiple fresh ideas. 🤔 “Maybe I should just work on that important work project.” “No, here’s MOAR new ideas!” 🤪🥱

My absolute favorite AI response of the week: “I agree. This is exactly where “future-proofing” can accidentally become architecture cosplay.” 😂

As an aside, image gen has progressed light years. Remember when it could never do text (not to mention hands)? This is impressive!

We switched from @ATT to @TMobile 5G home internet 6 months ago. T-Mobile was slightly better at first, but connection quality, reliability, and performance has PLUMMETED since then. I was forced to reschedule a @github exam this morning because upload speeds were < 1 Mbps! 😣
