| Episode 41 - Copilot's Big Redesign: What Changed and Where to Use What | 02 Jun 2026 | 00:38:55 | |
Microsoft just redesigned M365 Copilot, again. And if you logged in this week and couldn't find the Web/Work buttons you relied on, you're not alone. But the redesign isn't really the story. The story is knowing which Copilot to reach for, and when. Two questions sort almost everything. This is the finale of Virteva's Adopting Copilot in 2026 series. In this episode, Scott walks through every surface where Copilot shows up — from in-app experiences in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, to Copilot Chat, Pages, Notebooks, Agents, and the still-in-preview Co-work feature — and maps each one to the right use case. Along the way, he gives an honest look at the new UI redesign, capacity issues that are still real, and what training and enablement teams need to update right now. | |||

| Episode 38 - Copilot Doesn't Create Risk, It Reflects It - Oversharing, Agent Governance & DSPM | 02 Mar 2026 | 00:34:37 | |
Is Microsoft 365 Copilot exposing your organization's biggest security blind spots? In this Part 2 of of our Navigating Copilot in 2026 series, Scott sits down with Endpoint & Security Leader Taylor Kocon to unpack the uncomfortable truth: Copilot doesn't create risk, it reflects the permissions debt organizations have been ignoring for years. We dive deep into the numbers: 40% of organizations have delayed their Copilot rollout over oversharing concerns, 16% of business-critical data is overshared in typical M365 tenants, and an average of 802,000 files are at risk per organization. Taylor & Scott walk through real dashboards and live demos including Microsoft Entra's agent governance portal (200+ AI agents in a single tenant!), Microsoft Purview's Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), and content management assessments that reveal hundreds of sites with broken permissions. Whether you're planning your Copilot deployment or already in production, this episode is essential for IT leaders, security professionals, and Microsoft 365 administrators. | |||
