CIAOPS - Need to Know podcasts CIAOPS

All the latest from Microsoft Build along with the new from the hardware and Ai run just prior. Unsurprisingly, the news is full of more Ai and the latest GPT-4o features coming to Copilot on the desktop. The focus of unlocking AI in a business is around Copilot studio but Build also gave us news about security updates and some other interesting thing to pay attention to. Listen in for the latest.

Lots of Ai and security news since the last episode. We are also on the cusp of Microsoft Build so we expect even more shortly. Although I'm a tad under the weather (apologies for sounding a bit nasal) but I felt I needed to get this episode out before the deluge of information we expect shortly from build. I think the OpenAI announcements along with those from Google are the most worthy to pay attention to here but I'm sure there should be something to interest everyone here. Listen on and enjoy!

I've now had a chance to play with Copilot for Security and can recommend it but to ensure that costs don't spiral out of control for SMB, it needs to used in an ad hoc manner. Listen along for my thoughts and a walk through of resources available for you. Also news of updates of Exchange email threshold limits being changed as well as improvements for Microsoft Mesh, Loop and more. Listen in for the latest updates.
