Table of ContentsToggleLast week, I discussed how to use auto-label policies to apply sensitivity labels to old files in SharePoint Online sites to prevent their discovery and use by Microsoft 365 Copilot. The approach works but it’s only viable if a Microsoft 365 tenant has the necessary licenses to support auto-label policies. Understanding Microsoft licensing is an art form and getting things right is important when a licensing decision might affect everyone in a tenant.

Table of ContentsToggleOne of the latest announcements from Microsoft engineering groups to improve the overall security of their cloud infrastructure is Entra’s decision to halt service principal-less authentication from March 2026. It’s an example of eradicating old practices that are unacceptable in today’s threat environment. Service principal-less authentication happens when an enterprise app (aka a multitenant app) is used without a service principal in the host tenant.

Table of ContentsToggleAnother day, another event on the TEC 2025 European Roadshow. This time we were in Paris and just like in London’s discussion about how to protect old confidential files from Copilot access, attendees posed many good questions. Following the discussion about how to manage agents, I was asked how an organization could discover if SharePoint agents are in use. It’s a good question that isn’t answered in Microsoft’s documentation about how to manage agents in SharePoint.

Table of ContentsToggleI’ve been on the TEC 2025 Roadshow in Europe this week. Monday was London, Tuesday Paris, and Dusseldorf is the final stop on Thursday. These trips sound like they should be great fun, but running events in three major cities over four days takes a brutal amount of effort. In any case, my topic this week is protecting Microsoft 365 data in the era of AI.

.@Office365 The Exchange Server OWA client is dropping support for access to online archives (hosted by #Microsoft365). A declining customer base and lack of revenues likely drive the decision. Outlook classic remains unaffected. https://t.co/9fr6Rxcq7X
.@Office365 MC1059677 reports that the DLP policy for Copilot will extend protection from just Copilot Chat (and agents) to the Office apps https://t.co/Ljdp7NhiKp. This is an expected but very nice enhancement. #Microsoft365
.@Office365 Anyone running a hybrid #Exchange organization should be aware of the steps Microsoft is taking to remove EWS and the impact the introduction of a dedicated Exchange hybrid app will have. There's work to be done... https://t.co/SF6jnNHaNl #Microsoft365
