Microsoft Entra ID replaces “most recently used” logic in system-preferred MFA with device-preferred credential selection (preview). This method automatically prompts users with the most suitable authentication method based on their device, improving both security and the sign-in experience.
Copilot Cowork introduces AI-driven task orchestration in Microsoft 365, allowing users to define goals while the system plans and executes tasks across applications. It operates within tenant boundaries with approvals and has limited third-party integration.
Microsoft 365 users can now integrate Claude AI using the built-in Microsoft 365 connector, bringing secure, conversational AI into SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, and Teams. With read-only access, users can search, analyze, and interact with organizational data directly from Claude chat. This integration highlights how AI is becoming the connective layer of the modern Microsoft 365 workplace.
Microsoft Defender has introduced a new Password Protection page in preview, providing security teams a unified place to track and manage password risks across all identity sources. It highlights weak password practices, password-related policies, leaked credentials, and exposed passwords, with built‑in options to remediate immediately.
Microsoft has introduced file-level archiving in SharePoint Online, which lets us archive files to a lower-cost storage tier while keeping sites active. Archived files retain permissions, metadata, and versions, and you can restore them when needed. However, archiving does not reduce storage, it changes how it is billed.
As AI adoption grows, so do the risks associated with it. The new AI pillar in the Zero Trust Workshop helps organizations apply Zero Trust principles specifically to AI systems. This enables better visibility, governance, and security across AI-driven environments.
