Navigating the Seas of Security: CIS Controls and Microsoft Teams

There are many of us who, for various reasons, do not yet have the opportunity to use Copilot for Microsoft 365, but who sit and drum our fingers and impatiently wait to do so. What will it take for it to become a reality for your organization? Licenses? Security? Training? What else? Many advisors have developed their own definitions, advice and frameworks of what it takes to become Copilot Ready. We believe that it is not about making a giant leap, but instead about taking a number of smaller and larger steps. In this session Daniel and Magnus will, in a simple and easy-to-understand way, take you through the basic steps you need to take to get started.
