We strongly encourage all customers to begin evaluating these new features and recommend attending our Security Copilot Workshop to gain valuable first insights and hands-on experience with this powerful tool.
Microsoft Entra Agent ID
If you have worked with Agents till today, then you have perhaps observed that you had to define a service account or your credentials are used which was not a good solution. Now a new identity concept enabling secure agent-based interactions for modern workloads is announced. This is a big step toward simplifying identity for distributed systems and AI agents.
Windows 11 Recovery with Microsoft Intune
Especially after the Crowdstrike crisis two years back many customers have startet to think about how they can restore massive amount of devices if they fail to start. When configured computers failing to start will securely lookup for solutions and applies them until the operating system is again able to start.
Synced Passkey Support with Microsoft Entra ID
Passwordless just got better! This simplifies passkey usage and allows multiple devices to share a single passkey. Synced passkeys across devices bring stronger security and a smoother user experience.
Predictive Shielding with Microsoft Defender XDR
Proactive threat defense is applying system configurations like Policies as soon first sign of an attack are seen and stops attacks before they happen. This is a real game-changer.
MCP Server for Simplified AI Usage
