Microsoft Copilot is evolving faster than most admins can keep up with, leading to hidden security gaps and wasted budget. If you are relying on default settings, you might be exposing your organization to more risk than you realize. This deep dive covers the critical configurations every Microsoft 365 administrator needs to master to keep their tenant secure and efficient.

In this video, we break down the most common pitfalls found in Copilot rollouts. We start with the hidden web access switch that determines whether the AI can pull from public websites, potentially blurring the lines between company data and unvetted external info. You will also learn how to avoid licensing landmines by treating seats as a flexible resource rather than a static allocation based on job titles.

We also explore the inconsistencies between Copilot in the Edge sidebar versus the standard Office apps, and why your Data Loss Prevention (DLP) rules might not behave as expected in collaborative spaces like Microsoft Loop. Finally, we look ahead at how to govern Copilot agents to ensure automation stays under your control. By the end of this session, you will have a clear roadmap for proactive AI management.
