Session Abstract

The introduction of Microsoft 365 Copilot and other generative AI applications has highlighted the limitations of the 'security by obscurity' approach. Efficient content management is now vital for safeguarding sensitive information, minimizing the risks of oversharing, and maintaining a secure SharePoint environment. SharePoint Advanced Management (SAM) offers new functionality to improve content governance, security, and efficiency. This session will explore and demonstrate the new functionalities: 1. Oversharing Prevention: Discover how SAM provides you with control over access to sensitive information, including limiting Copilot access to content, to prevent data leaks and ensure your digital environment is secure. 2. Content Sprawl Management: Discover how SAM governs site provisioning and ownership to keep your digital estate organized and secure. 3. Lifecycle Management: Understand the policies for handling inactive sites and outdated information to ensure your content remains relevant, up-to-date, and compliant. By the end of this session, you will gain both theoretical and practical insights into SharePoint Advanced Management.
