When Cloud Security Controls Fail: GSA, Maester 2.2, AI

August 24, 2026 · 1 hr 4 minDavid opens with a question that runs through the whole episode: does removing operational complexity solve the problem, or just relocate who is responsible for it. Azure's new Virtual Network routing appliance is now GA, giving hub and…

Apple Watch Trust, AI Fleet Mode, and a Hacked Gym Booking
August 11, 2026 · 38 minRichard and Cyrus are joined by, well, just each other this week. David is off enjoying a well earned break before starting a new role at London Heathrow, so it is a two hander, and the theme that runs underneath almost everything…

EP39 | Hill Climbing, the Hugging Face Breach, and Agentic Security
July 26, 2026 · 59 minThis week David walks through Microsoft's new phrase of the moment, the hill climbing machine, and what it actually means for how MAI models get built inside GitHub Copilot and Excel rather than in an isolated lab. He follows that with…

EP38 | Nobody Knows Where Their Cryptography Lives
July 13, 2026 · 50 minIt is just Richard and David this episode, with Cyrus taking a break. David opens with a Microsoft Security Blog post that sounds, on paper, like a specialist PKI topic, and turns it into a much bigger argument, that almost no organisation…

EP37 | The Off Switch You Don't Control
June 28, 2026 · 48 minThis week the timing did the talking. Two weeks ago Richard spent a segment encouraging people to try Anthropic's Fable 5 on their GitHub Copilot licences before the pricing changed. By the time that episode published, a US government…

About the show
Cloudy with a Chance of Insights is a practitioner‑led podcast for architects, engineers, and security professionals working with the Microsoft Cloud.
In each episode, we take a grounded, experience‑led look at Azure, M365, Copilot, Security, and AI, focusing less on release notes and more on what actually changes in real environments.
We discuss what breaks, what gets harder, what’s worth paying attention to, and what can usually wait. Expect opinionated conversation, technical context, and the occasional bit of healthy scepticism rather than marketing hype or surface‑level news summaries.
