Copilot Cowork billing is now the difference between keeping the feature and losing it.
Most teams securing AI agents start with what the agent can do — which data, which actions. The harder question is who the agent is.
We've spent enough time inside data-security reviews to know where credentials actually leak. It's rarely the secrets vault.
This summer, an external partner who opens a file you shared could see "access denied" instead — and the cause is a change most admins haven't been briefed on.
Somewhere in your tenant, an AI service may have already built a profile of what every employee is good at — skills they confirmed, skills it inferred, skills imported from other systems.
If you switched on Restricted SharePoint Search to keep sensitive sites out of Copilot, that guardrail now has an expiration date.
There's a quiet tension in every Copilot rollout: you want the AI to read across your content to be useful, and you want your most sensitive documents locked down.
If anything in your organization still runs on SharePoint Alerts, the time to move is now.
If your team's Office apps on Mac or iPhone are going read-only this July 13, they are running an older build that needs an immediate update.
You can govern every app in the Teams admin center. The agents already built into Teams — the ones your users are starting to lean on — have been the blind spot.
