A major new initiative from Microsoft aims to provide the training and resources needed to adopt AI tools at nonprofits. In this episode, Carolyn Woodard breaks down the recently announced Microsoft Elevate for Changemakers program. This initiative is a structured effort to build AI capacity through professional certifications, hands-on training, and global fellowships designed specifically for the nonprofit sector.Carolyn discusses how the sector has shifted from skepticism to active adoption and explores how AI can expand human agency rather than replace it. She describes the four key areas where Microsoft believes AI can make a measurable difference and the case studies they share for each area: enriching staff time, delivering impactful programs, engaging donors, and transforming operations. Whether you are looking to automate manual data entry or scale your mission through local language tools, this episode provides a roadmap for staying at the forefront of responsible AI use.The conversation covers:The new LinkedIn AI for Nonprofits professional certificate and on-demand capacity-building training.Details on the Changemaker Fellowship for organizations with actionable AI projects ready for investment.How AI helps nonprofit staff move away from busywork and toward creative, mission-driven thinking.Links to real-world case studies of organizations using AI to save 6 to 8 hours a day on administrative tasks.Strategies for using AI to scale programs and build stronger, data-informed donor relationships.The importance of professional training and leadership in adopting responsible AI frameworks.Resources Mentioned:Microsoft Elevate for Changemakers AnnouncementMicrosoft Elevate for Changemakers resourcesCommunity IT Innovators WebsiteNonprofit IT Management Reddit Community _______________________________Start a conversation :)Register to attend a webinar in real time, and find all past transcripts at https://communityit.com/webinars/email Carolyn at cwoodard@communityit.comon LinkedIn on reddit/r/nonprofitITmanagementon the Community IT websiteThanks for listening. 

There's an ongoing narrative that Windows is worse than ever today and people are leaving in droves. Paul does not see that, and will simply point to Windows 8 and remind folks that it can be (and was) worse. Also, PowerToys 0.98 adds a major new feature to Command Palette, big changes to Keyboard Manager and CursorWrap, and about 100 other updates. This is a big one. Plus, Mozilla Firefox is staging a comeback and may be worth another look.

In this episode of the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast, host⁠ ⁠⁠Sherrod DeGrippo is joined by Greg Schlomer and Vlad Honyanyy to discuss new research on Jasper Sleet, a North Korean–aligned threat actor incorporating AI into active operations.  The conversation examines how AI is being integrated across the attack lifecycle — from highly tailored phishing lures and fabricated job applicant personas to accelerating malware development and refining operational workflows. Rather than treating AI as a novelty, Jasper Sleet is using it to increase speed, scale, and adaptability while reducing many of the friction points that once slowed campaigns.  They also explore what this shift means for defenders. As AI compresses iteration cycles and lowers barriers to entry, traditional attribution signals evolve, influence operations become more convincing, and defensive teams must tighten the loop between intelligence, detection, and response. This is less about experimentation and more about the operationalization of AI as part of modern tradecraft.  In this episode you'll learn:       How AI is changing the speed at which cyber operations evolve  Why jailbreaking AI models is often trivial for motivated adversaries   The strategic implications of AI leveling the playing field between threat actors  Some questions we ask:      Is there resistance among experienced malware authors to adopting AI?  Are we seeing fully AI-written malware in the wild?  What stands out about Jasper Sleet's use of AI?    Resources:   View Greg Schloemer on LinkedIn   View Sherrod DeGrippo on LinkedIn     Related Microsoft Podcasts:                    Afternoon Cyber Tea with Ann Johnson  The BlueHat Podcast  Uncovering Hidden Risks      Discover and follow other Microsoft podcasts at microsoft.com/podcasts   Get the latest threat intelligence insights and guidance at Microsoft Security Insider    The Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast is produced by Microsoft, Hangar Studios and distributed as part of N2K media network.  Learn more about your ad choices.

While our team is observing the Labor Day holiday in the US, we hope you will enjoy this episode of The Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast . New episodes airs on the N2K CyberWIre network every other Wednesday. In this episode of the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast, host⁠ ⁠⁠Sherrod DeGrippo is live from Black Hat 2025 with a special lineup of Microsoft security leaders and researchers. First, Sherrod sits down with Tom Gallagher, VP of Engineering and head of the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC). Tom shares how his team works with researchers worldwide, why responsible disclosure matters, and how programs like Zero Day Quest (ZDQ) are shaping the future of vulnerability research in cloud and AI security. He also announced the next iteration of ZTQ with $5 million up for grabs. Next, Sherrod is joined by Eric Baller (Senior Security Researcher) and Eric Olson (Principal Security Researcher) to unpack the fast-changing ransomware landscape. From dwell time collapsing from weeks to minutes, to the growing role of access brokers, they explore how attackers operate as organized ecosystems and how defenders can respond. Finally, Sherrod welcomes Travis Schack (Principal Security Researcher) alongside Eric Olson to examine the mechanics of social engineering. They discuss how attackers exploit urgency, trust, and human curiosity, why AI is supercharging phishing campaigns, and how defenders can fight back with both training and technology. In this episode you'll learn:     How MSRC partners with researchers across 59 countries to protect customers Why Zero Day Quest is accelerating vulnerability discovery in cloud and AI How ransomware dwell times have shrunk from days to under an hour Resources: View Sherrod DeGrippo on LinkedIn  Zero Day Quest — Microsoft Microsoft Security Response Center Blog Related Microsoft Podcasts:   Afternoon Cyber Tea with Ann Johnson The BlueHat Podcast Uncovering Hidden Risks      Discover and follow other Microsoft podcasts at microsoft.com/podcasts Get the latest threat intelligence insights and guidance at Microsoft Security Insider   The Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast is produced by Microsoft and distributed as part of N2K media network.
