Microsoft Purview DLP Extends to Microsoft 365 Copilot

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.

Bing Enterprise Chat enabled by default for all

There are a lot of great things happening in the generative AI space these days. Microsoft is determined to be a part of this revolution, and they have announced a lot of coming services. One of the new features that was released a few weeks ago was the Bing Chat Enterprise (BCE) which is a new feature that enables your organization to use AI-powered chat for work while keeping your user and business data protected. 

BCE is available in preview to Microsoft 365 customers with E3, E5, A3, A5 (faculty only), Business Standard and Business Premium licenses, but not to customers in government clouds. 

At first BCE was an opt-in feature, but it is now turned on by default for eligible customers who have not previously opted out of it. Should your organization want to opt-out of BCE, it is possible to do so through the BCEAdmin panel 

BCE and Bing Chat might seem similar, but Bing Chat does not offer commercial data protection and should only be used for personal use. BCE will now be available on bing.com/chat, Edge sidebar, and Windows Copilot. You will not need to enable Microsoft Search in Bing to access BCE after mid-September.
