Session Abstract

Microsoft Recall is a groundbreaking, AI-powered feature in Windows 11 Copilot+ devices that captures snapshots of your PC screen every few seconds, creating a local, searchable archive of your activity. This revolutionary tool helps users quickly find and jump back to anything they've seen before — from documents to web pages — using natural language search and a timeline view for seamless productivity. This session will demystify how Recall works under the hood, leveraging Windows AI Foundry to analyze and index snapshots while respecting user privacy through on-device encryption. Attendees will learn practical strategies to tame the “beast,” balancing Recall’s powerful productivity benefits with sound security controls. Key security considerations will be examined, including risks of sensitive data exposure, threats from unauthorized access or malware, and the current limitations of auditability. We will explore best practices for enabling Microsoft Recall in customer environments—such as configuring policies to control snapshot storage, applying strict access controls, and ensuring compliance with regulatory and privacy standards. Join this session to gain expert insights on how to confidently deploy Microsoft Recall, mitigate its security risks, and empower users to reclaim control over their digital workspace history without compromising enterprise security.
