Microsoft has now launched the public preview of the Azure DevOps Model Context Provider (MCP) Server in a brave attempt to change developer productivity. With this newly introduced capability, GitHub Copilot in Agent Mode can directly access a developer’s Azure DevOps project data and allow the developer to interact with its data and functions via the natural language commands provided by the Copilot, within the developer’s coding environment, such as Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio.

As generative AI revolutionizes how we write software, it’s also reshaping how we secure it. Tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT now allow developers to write functional applications with just a few prompts. This growing trend, dubbed “vibe coding,” represents a fundamental shift in development philosophy: developers rely on AI-generated code and focus more on ideas than implementation. This unlocks speed and creativity, but it also exposes new and serious security risks.

What does it take to stay calm in the face of constant cyber pressure—and why does that mindset matter more than ever? In this episode of Security Matters, host David Puner speaks with Den Jones, founder and CEO of 909Cyber, about his transition from enterprise chief security officer (CSO) to cybersecurity consultant.

AI should be capable of learning, generalizing, or spotting patterns beyond what’s been explicitly coded.

*According to Gartner, by 2026, over 80% of enterprises will have used generative AI APIs or deployed GenAI-enabled applications, up from less than 5% in 2023. This rapid adoption introduces a new and complex attack surface. The adoption of artificial intelligence is no longer an option, it’s an operational inevitability.
