Next Speaker alert and new Microsoft MVP: Justine Wolters brings #Oranje Spirit to CollabDays Oslo. We are pleased to welcome her on stage to talk about data security concerns. Microsoft #Copilot for #Microsoft365 is powerful, but with great power comes great responsibility and the may be even riskier alternative: employees turning to unregulated AI tools like ChatGPT, DeepSeek or Claude to get their work done. She'll dive into the rise of Shadow AI, where sensitive organizational data ends up in third-party LLMs without any oversight, increasing your exposure to data leaks and compliance violations. You'll learn how to build a data security strategy that allows responsible use of Copilot while minimizing the dangers of Shadow #AI. We’ll showcase how Microsoft #Purview ’s Data Security Posture Management for AI (DSPM) helps you monitor AI interactions with sensitive data, both inside and outside your environment. Expect practical guidance, real-world examples, and a clear roadmap to take back control over your organization's AI landscape. Join her and register today for free! There are 30+ experts waiting to share knowledge, use cases and best practises with you! Register here: https://lnkd.in/eTqP9iG5

So let's see if you survive the async black hole without blocking the engines! https://lnkd.in/eAnfPUKD

💡 SharePoint Agents make it easier for people to use the knowledge stored across your Microsoft 365 environment! Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft) walks through how site knowledge agents help users query an entire SharePoint site and how scoped agents focus on selected files or folders to give more precise answers. He also shows how agents can be customized, branded and shared directly into Teams while keeping all SharePoint permissions, Copilot integration and Agents governance in place. 📺 Watch the video → https://msft.it/6047ts1sT #Microsoft365 #SharePoint #Copilot #Agents

Rolling out in #Microsoft365 now: improved #SharePoint page analytics. Starting with news posts, admins can see more data on how content is consumed. This is especially relevant for SharePoint #intranet teams. New features: 📊 Breakdown per channel (Microsoft Outlook, SharePoint, Teams, Viva Engage) for all charts 📊 Reactions: Count of positive and negative reactions to a news post 📊 Promotion: Total number of shares, @mentions, and email forwards of a news post 📊 Long-term data: Up to 365 days from the previous limit of up to 90 days 📊 Export: Download as Excel or PowerPoint file License requirements: Microsoft Viva Employee Communications and Communities ($2 user/month) or Microsoft Viva Suite ($12 user/month) Source: MC1069561 in M365 Message Center My take: SharePoint Online long lacked key analytics for intranet teams. Third-party solutions were necessary for analytics on which content was most useful for the organization. Microsoft is now offering a first-party solution. Other vendors charge around $7-10 user/month. With the $2 license, Microsoft has a cheaper option that should cover the analytics requirements of many organizations.

📖 Agentforce book teaser #6: Role of data and metadata in Agentforce My Agentforce book for Apress is coming along nicely. Currently wrapping up my fourth chapter and headed into the fifth and final one. It's a run toward the finish line, with my complete manuscript due on 30 November (yikes!) 😬 This means long evenings, rigorous planning, and above all – lots of support and understanding from my spouse ♥️ ~~~~~~ When we talk about Agentforce, most people jump straight to prompts and AI logic. But what you should start with is data and metadata. Think of data as the fuel that powers your agents: customer records, transactions, signals, etc. Without it, there’s nothing to reason over. Metadata is the steering wheel. It defines what your agents can do, how they behave, and under what conditions. Guardrails, permissions, flows, prompt templates. All of that lives in metadata. It’s the invisible architecture that keeps agent autonomy from turning into uncontrollable chaos. And here's what most people trip over: quality isn't the biggest issue – it's actionability. A pristine dataset that agents can’t interpret is useless. Likewise, poor metadata governance can make your agents either: 🤡 Reckless (too broad permissions or limited guardrails) or 🤖 Paralyzed (too heavy deterministic logic limiting adaptability) The question isn’t “Do we have good enough data?” It’s “Do we have the semantic layer and governance to let agents act with confidence and control?” #Agentforce #Salesforce #Data #Metadata #AgenticAI #Apress #MarketingChampions

🗣️ Use Entra ID security groups for assigning the security roles for users instead of giving the permissions directly 🗣️ Last Thursday I participated PowerUp! Meetup (Finland) where Tatu Seppälä were having a session about Streamlining Power Platform environment access and security role management with Entra ID 🤩 Main point was to manage access and security roles with a proven and repeatable strategy to simplify access control using native Microsoft features 😍 Key Takeaways were  👉 Use Entra ID groups to manage Dataverse security roles 👉 Control access to Power Platform environments via Entra ID 👉 Automatically clean up stale user role assignments 👉 Enable self-service access and role management for environment owners (no admin rights needed) 👉 Implement just-in-time role activation (e.g., System Administrator) with optional business justification and usage monitoring Read more in my latest blog post - click the link below my name 👊 #microsoft #powerplatform #environmentmanagement #entraid #securitygroups #securityroles

Anthropic in Microsoft Copilot: Data residency matters Microsoft Copilot now allows you to opt in to Anthropic’s model within your Microsoft 365 environment. That’s great - Awsome, we love new tools! - but it comes with important data security and residency considerations. Even though you use it through Microsoft’s “front end,” your prompts and outputs are processed by Anthropic outside Microsoft’s controlled environment. This means Microsoft’s customer agreements and data-residency commitments do not extend to data sent to Anthropic’s model. Microsoft guidance: Connect to Anthropic in Copilot https://lnkd.in/d-Sz4H_e Anthropic FAQ: Multi-tenant architecture & data handling https://lnkd.in/dtcxZ5Ej Anthropic server locations: Where is data stored? https://lnkd.in/d2HYA4Sw If compliance depends on EU or specific data residency, consult Anthropic directly about data storage options and retention controls. Microsoft’s residency guarantees will not cover this. #Anthropic #AI #DataResidency #MicrosoftAI #MicrosoftDataSecurity
