In this session, you'll learn how multiple AI agents built with Microsoft Copilot Studio can work together to solve real problems—not just respond to questions. We’ll walk through a practical example where agents handle an IT request from start to finish: understanding the issue, making decisions, and taking action automatically. We’ll start with a quick look at the key concepts and architecture behind Copilot Studio so you can see how things fit together. Then, we’ll move into a live demo showing how different agents interact and connect to backend tools like Power Automate and Azure Functions to create tickets, send emails, and more. Whether you’re new to Copilot Studio or already building with it, this session will show you how to design AI workflows that go beyond simple conversations and actually get work done.

Session Description: This 3-hour hands-on workshop is tailored for IT and security professionals preparing to integrate AI and Copilot into their operations. In today's digital landscape, securing your data isn’t just an internal best practice—it’s a regulatory imperative. We’ll cover the essentials of Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) with a focus on EU and Baltic regional requirements. You’ll learn about GDPR-focused compliance, along with local nuances from the Baltic states, where data protection agencies (like Estonia’s Data Protection Inspectorate, Latvia’s Data State Inspectorate, and Lithuania’s State Data Protection Inspectorate) enforce stringent measures on data administration, breach management, and privacy rights. Through interactive labs, live demos, and quizzes, you’ll see how to scan, classify, and monitor sensitive data while aligning with mandates like GDPR, CCPA, and ISO 27001—ensuring a rock-solid foundation before AI deployment. Key Objectives: • Refresh foundational concepts in data security and EU/GDPR compliance, with emphasis on local Baltic requirements. • Gain hands-on experience by configuring and using DSPM tools to scan, classify, and monitor sensitive data. • Understand the regulatory frameworks from the EU and the Baltic region, including the roles of local data protection inspectors and specific guidelines for employee data and surveillance practices. • Analyze real-world case studies and simulated security incidents to evaluate your organization’s current posture. • Create actionable strategies to ensure compliance and safeguard data before rolling out AI and Copilot initiatives. Target Audience: - IT professionals, security engineers, data governance specialists, compliance officers, and AI solution architects interested in building a secure foundation for AI deployments. Session Level: - The session is designed to accommodate a range of experience—from beginners who need to understand the fundamentals of DSPM and compliance to advanced practitioners looking for deep dive technical labs and case studies. Demos/Case Studies Percentage: - Approximately 50% of the session is dedicated to live demos, interactive labs, and real-world case studies. Core Topics Covered: - Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) essentials - Compliance frameworks including GDPR, along with Baltic region-specific requirements - Techniques for data scanning, classification, and monitoring - Best practices in access control, encryption, and breach management - Building a secure and compliant foundation before deploying AI and Copilot
