Microsoft Purview DLP Extends to Microsoft 365 Copilot

on
As organizations increasingly adopt Microsoft 365 Copilot to enhance productivity and collaboration, ensuring the security of corporate data becomes more and more important. Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) offers a robust solution to safeguard sensitive information. Purview's new and upcoming DLP capabilities can soon help secure your organization's use of Copilot even better.

Skype for Business Cloud Connector Edition in now available

on
Back in December 2015, Microsoft announced the availability of (among other things) Cloud-PBX. This was in effect only available for US customers, where O365 has native support for dial-in and dial-out. Or for customers which already have a Skype for Business on premises in hybrid mode.

To speed up the process of offering Cloud-PBX to countries where O365 does not yet have native dialing capabilities, and/or do not have their own on premises Skype for Business deployment, Microsoft have developed the Skype for Business Cloud Connector Edition.

The Skype for Business Cloud Connector Edition (CCE) is a collection of VM's through which you may connect O365 to your local PBX or SIP trunk, and thus have users in O365 have Enterprise Voice capability.

The CCE has been released for general availability as of today (Monday April 11 - 9A,M,)


If you already have a Local Skype for Business deployment in hybrid mode (or are about to turn on the hybrid feature), you do not need to deploy the CCE as you may use the hybrid deployment in the same way. In fact, you can't have both a hybrid deployment and a CCE running of the same tenant.
