identity and security

About this tag
The identity and security tag on WindowsForum covers enterprise deployments where Microsoft 365 Copilot, autonomous agents like Microsoft Scout, and large-scale modernization projects depend on a foundation of identity governance, security compliance, and endpoint control. Threads discuss Atos rolling out Copilot to 56,000 staff using Microsoft 365 E7 and Agent 365, CMPC and Kyndryl completing a Microsoft 365 modernization that prioritizes governance before AI, and Microsoft Scout as an always-on agent governed by Entra identity. A recurring theme is that agentic AI only becomes a serious business platform when identity, security, compliance, and software distribution are sold as one integrated stack.
