Get featured on the show by leaving us a Voice Mail: https://bit.ly/MIPVM FULL SHOW NOTES https://www.microsoftinnovationpodcast.com/692 When organizations rush to adopt AI tools like Microsoft Copilot, they often overlook a critical prerequisite: a secure, well-structured data environment. In this episode, Åsne Holtklimpen—Cloud Solution Architect at Crayon and Microsoft MVP—shares how her journey from SharePoint veteran to Copilot expert revealed a hard truth: without strong information governance, AI can do more harm than good. Åsne walks us through real-world challenges, practical frameworks, and the mindset shift needed to make AI adoption safe, scalable, and truly transformative. KEY TAKEAWAYS Security Before AI: Successful Copilot implementation starts with robust information security—classification, labeling, and governance must come first. Start Small, Scale Smart: Åsne recommends a phased approach using Microsoft Purview, beginning with basic data classification before layering on policies and automation. Expose the Risks: Demonstrating real data exposure—like personal identity numbers or health info—helps organizations understand the urgency of securing their environments. AI Readiness ≠ Cloud Presence: Many companies assume they're ready for AI because they use Teams or SharePoint, but Åsne stresses the need for deeper structural alignment. Public Sector Pressure: Norway's public sector faces a mandate to adopt AI by 2030, but Åsne warns that without guidance and foundational readiness, this push could backfire. RESOURCES MENTIONED

How can Entra ID Protection help keep your organization resist security breaches? Richard talks to Corissa Koopmans about thinking beyond authentication and authorization and into conditional access - knowing what is normal and abnormal behavior for your users. Corissa recommends looking at the Entra ID Protection Dashboard - whether you have configured anything or not - to see what potential risks you have today. Whether it's logins from places where you have no workers or some "impossible travel" or weird browser connections, ID Protection detects and identifies those events. When combined with conditional access, Defender for Cloud, or even Microsoft Intune - you get a "better together" effect that makes it easier to know when something bad is happening!LinksMicrosoft Entra ID ProtectionAzure Active Directory Conditional AccessEntra ID Protection DashboardLog Analytics AgentMicrosoft IntuneMicrosoft Defender for CloudMicrosoft SentinelRecorded December 10, 2024

How is least privilege different in 2025? Richard talks to Bailey Bercik about the ongoing efforts to minimize users, administrators, and applications' privileges in 2025. Bailey talks about the power of Entra Permissions Management to help you see what permissions are going unused on various accounts so that you can tailor rights to individual accounts without things becoming unmanageable. Artificial intelligence is a forcing function for many permission issues, with these new tools potentially creating problems when given unnecessary rights. But those same tools can help you understand where permissions are being underutilized and help protect your systems!LinksPrinciple of Least PrivilegeEnable Permission ManagementEntra Permissions ManagementMicrosoft Security CopilotCopilot in Microsoft EntraSEC545: GenAI and LLM Application SecurityHow Attackers Use Apps to Attack VideoRecorded December 16, 2024

They cover the various Defender products, including: Defender for Endpoint - Microsoft's enterprise endpoint security solution with different licensing tiers Defender for Identity - Cloud-based threat detection for on-premises Active Directory Defender Vulnerability Management - Inventory and risk assessment of software on endpoints Defender for IoT - Security for Internet of Things and operational technology environments Defender for Cloud - Cloud security for Azure, AWS, and GCP resources And Others! They also discuss the "Defender adjacent" services like Microsoft Entra (identity), Microsoft Purview (data security/governance), and Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (CASB). A key focus of the discussion is the complexity and management challenges that come with this expansive Defender suite. The host and the guest note the large number of different management portals, the difficulty of adequately configuring and leveraging all the features, and the need for dedicated security teams to utilize these enterprise-grade tools fully. Further down the line, Andy and Paul explore the significant value that third-party security solutions can provide in augmenting or simplifying the M365 security experience. They highlight how third-party tools can offer easier deployment, management, and specialized capabilities that may be outside the core focus of the broader Defender ecosystem, thereby enhancing the overall security posture of an organization. Overall, this episode takes a deep dive into the Microsoft Defender landscape, exploring the pros and cons of the comprehensive suite and offering insights on how organizations can optimize their security with a mix of Microsoft and third-party solutions. CTA: Overwhelmed by the complexity of the Microsoft Defender ecosystem? Simplify your Microsoft 365 security, risk management, governance, compliance, and backup with 365 Total Protection by Hornetsecurity. Key Takeaways: The Microsoft Defender ecosystem has grown significantly beyond the basic antivirus/anti-malware solution, now encompassing a wide range of security products and services across endpoints, cloud, identity, and more. Navigating the Defender suite can be challenging due to the sheer number of products, overlapping features, and disparate management portals, especially for smaller organizations without dedicated security teams. Licensing for Defender products can be complex, with different SKUs (P1, P2, Business Premium, E3, E5) offering varying levels of functionality and requiring careful evaluation to ensure the right fit. Third-party security solutions can provide value by offering simplified management, enhanced detection capabilities, and avoiding over-dependence on a single vendor (Microsoft) for an organization's security needs. Proper configuration and ongoing optimization of Defender tools is difficult and time consuming, leaving the full potential of the suite to enterprises with dedicated security teams. Microsoft Defender XDR (Extended Detection and Response) aims to integrate Defender products into a more cohesive security platform. Still, it requires significant resources and expertise to implement effectively.

In this episode of the Security Swarm Podcast, our host Andy and guest speaker Jan Bakker discuss passkeys in the Microsoft ecosystem. They cover topics such as the definition of passkeys, prerequisites, tips for implementation, and the user experience. They also highlight the user-centric enrollment process, the role of conditional access, and the potential challenges and advantages of transitioning to passkeys. Key takeaways: Passkeys are a new authentication mechanism using the FIDO2 standard, providing a secure and user-friendly passwordless experience. Device-bound passkeys are more secure but not transferable between devices, while syncable passkeys offer convenience but may introduce potential security risks. Passkeys enhance security by being phishing-resistant and replacing traditional passwords and MFA methods. The enrollment process involves using the Microsoft Authenticator app and ensuring prerequisites like device compatibility and Bluetooth connectivity. Admins can enforce authentication method policies and conditional access to control user access and enhance security. User education, interface improvements, and conditional access play crucial roles in a successful transition to passkeys.

How's your identity governance? Richard talks to Jef Kazimer from Microsoft about Entra's capabilities to help you have robust governance around identity. Jef talks about the lifecycle of identity - when someone joins the organization and a new identity gets created, privileges changing as roles evolve, to the eventual offboarding when that person departs. The same sort of cycle exists for devices, too - the question is only how much work you must do to get through those cycles. Entra offers tooling to get identity changes out of your support tickets - make your life easier with effective identity governance!
