# Azure AI Foundry changes that matter for enterprise teams
## Problem
Enterprise teams need grounded guidance on what has changed and how to organise response across platform, governance, and delivery.
## Solution
Azure AI Foundry is introducing new models, customisation tools, enterprise agent upgrades, Model Serving, Red Teaming, alongside new orchestration and evaluation controls [3, 4, 6, 7]. Microsoft Purview is extending its Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) to protect GenAI agents such as Agent 365, whilst integrating directly with Microsoft Fabric to secure data as AI scales, a key focus at RSA 2026 [2, 5, 8, 9]. Furthermore, Microsoft Fabric is expanding its ecosystem with Fabric Data Agents and Fabric IQ to support these secure data operations [1, 5, 10]. This frames the update in practical terms for teams that need evidence before they commit effort.
## Action
Review the cited source, confirm rollout detail, and align the change with current customer roadmaps and delivery priorities.
## Impact
This can influence platform design, controls, adoption planning, and the way advisory teams shape customer conversations.
## Editorial caution
Moderate if platform claims are generalised beyond the cited sources
