Active Directory has been around for almost 25 years. As such, one might expect that – by now – we would have figured out to keep it safe against attacks. Yet, it remains a weak point in many organizations' cybersecurity defenses. When coupled with the challenges mentioned above, this can be a recipe for disaster. Why is this the case?
On the show this week, we talk about a new report from Goldman Sachs on how Generative AI could affect 300 million jobs - and with Microsoft 365 Copilot on the front line, we consider how likely this is. And finally - Microsoft Teams "V2" - the new Teams has began appearing in Microsoft 365 tenants. Plus, you can replace your face with an Avatar, use the preview of the Loop App - and Windows 11 might be appearing on your Teams Rooms devices very soon.
Microsoft released the preview version of the Loop app on March 22. The app works well for collaboration with people from the same Microsoft 365 tenant but fails utterly once external people are involved. Some other teething problems are evident, but there's enough in the Loop app for people to make their minds up if this will make collaboration smarter within their organization.
In this week's show, Steve and Paul discuss Microsoft 365 Copilot. Not a sat-nav for your car, powered by the Microsoft Cloud, but an AI assistant that can help people with their daily tasks using OpenAI technologies. And nearly an episode doesn't go by without Exchange patches - but this time the Outlook issues could be pretty serious, so make sure you take a listen. Talking of Outlook - authenticator comes to mobile Outlook - is it a good thing? Plus much more..
Join us for this week's Practical 365 Podcast, where we talk AI, the Death of Yammer, Exchange Security issues, and long-awaited features that are coming soon to teams!
