Self-Hosted Runner for Azure DevOps
The same runners as Microsoft’s Hosted Runners without all the fuzz.
Self-hosted Runners
Stay Updated
This image is continuously updated with the same cadence as the Microsoft Hosted Runners, with the same application versions installed.
Why do you recommend using a Virtual Machine Scale Set?
We recommend using a Virtual Machine Scale Set because it can continuously grab the latest image from Azure Marketplace, ensuring that you always have the latest runner, and because it can be used to automatically scale up and down the number of agents you have available, without you needing to worry about it. It is also cheaper, as you do not need to run many idle agents.
Standardisert. Sikker. Ferdig.
Vi har pakket vår beste praksis inn i et ferdig produkt. Vi ruller ut en komplett konfigurasjon til deres Microsoft 365-tenant på minutter, ikke uker.
What is it?
A virtual machine image built from the Microsoft runners repository
Economical
No more need to run many idle agents. Automatically scales up and down the number of agents you have available.
Security

FAQ
How does Fortytwo price their services?
Cost depends on environments, compliance requirements, identity complexity, and whether you want ongoing operations. We’re transparent about drivers and trade-offs.
What is a typical timeline for working with Fortytwo?
Most organizations can establish a stable foundation in weeks, then expand iteratively. Identity and security changes often show early operational impact. Ideally, Fortytwo works with our customers over time.
What does it take, working with Fortytwo?
You will get clear ownership of your target operating model, clarity on sources of truth for organisation and people data, and you need to have å willingness to standardize. We help you get there.
How does Fortytwo reduce security risks?
The biggest risks are exceptions, unclear ownership, and partial adoption. We reduce this with golden paths, guardrails, staged rollout, and operational handover.
Build in-house or team up with a partner like Fortytwo?
If you have the competence density and capacity, in-house can work. Many teams don’t, and drift plus incidents cost more than building a repeatable operating model with the help of a partner that can act as a specialised extension of your own team.
Why not just buy a tool?
Tools don’t create standards, ownership, and repeatable patterns. We implement the operating system that makes tools behave consistently.
What is Agentic AI?
Agentic AI refers to AI systems that can act autonomously on behalf of users or organizations, executing tasks across systems over time.
Why does Agentic AI create new risk?
Because agents combine autonomy, persistence, and delegated access, often without sufficient controls.
What is Agent Identity?
An AI agent treated as a managed identity with ownership, permissions, and lifecycle.
Can agents be monitored like users?
Yes, and they should be. We treat them as insider-like identities.
Is this relevant for compliance?
Yes. Agent governance supports audit, incident response, and regulatory requirements.
What’s the biggest risk of doing nothing about AI agent identity?
Losing control of autonomous systems that act with enterprise authority.
What is SecOps?
SecOps is how detections, incidents, response, and improvement work together in practice.
Is this just SIEM?
No. SIEM is a tool. SecOps is an operating model that makes tools effective.
Is this Microsoft specific?
Yes. We focus exclusively on the Microsoft security ecosystem.
Do you replace our SOC?
No. We strengthen it or help you build one that actually works.
Is this a one time project?
No. Security operations must evolve as threats and environments change.
How fast can we see results?
Most teams see clearer incidents and better alerts within weeks.
