I början på december besökte jag som vanligt ESPC, den största europeiska konferensen om Microsoft 365. I år var konferensen i Dublin, Irland. Där träffade jag bland annat utvecklaren och utbildaren Andrew Connell och fick en intervju med honom. I förra avsnittet lovade jag att jag skulle fråga besökare och experter på ESPC vad WorkIQ är, egentligen. Svaren hör du i detta avsnitt. I serien om Microsoft Purview har vi kommit till Data Catalog/Unified Catalog, ett verktyg som inte bara inventerar våra datakällor utan också håller reda på var datan kommer ifrån och vad den används till. Synnerligen relevant för alla organisationer som vill använda sina datakällor för Copilot eller annan AI. Allra sist får du som vanligt nyheter om Microsoft 365.
Microsoft Ignite, så heter Microsofts stora konferens där de lanserar produktnyheter för oss konsumenter. Den konferensen gick av stapeln för några dagar sedan och där lanserade Microsoft en ny "bakom scenen"-teknik som heter WorkIQ. Som vanligt beskrivs nyheten som banbrytande och fantastisk, men vad är egentligen nytt? Om du är mer intresserad av Microsoft Purview så kommer här femte delen i serien, där vi denna gång går igenom Compliance Manager. Som oftast får du också höra lite nyheter, bland annat några som kanske drunknat i flödet från Ignite.

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
Get featured on the show by leaving us a Voice Mail: https://bit.ly/MIPVM FULL SHOW NOTES https://www.microsoftinnovationpodcast.com/691 What happens when cybercrime becomes as organized—and profitable—as a Fortune 500 company? In this episode, Louis Arthur-Brown, a cybersecurity leader and solutions partner at CodeStone, pulls back the curtain on the evolving threat landscape. From ransomware-as-a-service to deepfake deception, Louis shares real-world insights and practical strategies for defending your organization in an AI-accelerated world. Whether you're a tech leader or a curious professional, this conversation will sharpen your security instincts and help you build resilience where it matters most. KEY TAKEAWAYS Cybercrime is industrialized: Ransomware-as-a-service and affiliate models make it easy for anyone—even non-technical actors—to launch attacks for as little as $50. AI is amplifying threats: A 1,300% rise in phishing emails last year is just the beginning. Deepfakes and voice cloning are reshaping social engineering tactics. MFA and basic hygiene go a long way: Implementing multi-factor authentication and conditional access can block up to 92% of cyberattacks. Zero Trust is essential: Organizations must move beyond the “walled garden” mindset and adopt a “never trust, always verify” approach to access and data. Data strategy is security strategy: Tools like Microsoft Purview and Windows 365 help classify, protect, and monitor sensitive data—especially in AI-enabled environments. RESOURCES MENTIONED

In this episode of the Security Swarm Podcast, host Andy Syrewicze and our regular guest, Paul Schnackenburg, provide a comprehensive overview of the Microsoft Defender ecosystem. 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.

How are you protecting your organization's data? Richard chats with Joanne Klein about her work with Microsoft Purview to help with data protection, management, and governance. Joanne talks about a spike in data protection concerns from Microsoft Copilot - if you have been securing data through obscurity, you're in for a nasty surprise! Copilot has a knack for finding every nook and cranny of data. Proper data protection also means effective archiving - getting rid of out-of-date or irrelevant data. And then there are the security concerns around data retention - how do you need to keep, and for how long? Microsoft Purview can help with all these problems, but you must work with leadership to get things right!LinksMicrosoft PurviewAdaptive Prevention in PurviewRecorded June 10, 2024
