Most organisations have spent months rolling out Microsoft Copilot. Far fewer have thought about what happens when Copilot pulls from external emails as grounding data.
That gap matters. In the latest Ctrl + Alt + Defend, Dirk Prinsloo covers a DLP update that lets you block external emails from being used by Copilot as grounding data. It is one of seven Purview changes covered in episode #014, each sourced directly from the Microsoft 365 Message Centre.

The broader theme across this episode is clear: as AI tooling becomes embedded in Microsoft 365, the compliance and data protection controls around it are evolving quickly. Staying on top of these updates is no longer optional for security teams.

Other updates in this episode include DLP inline controls for Foundry apps and agents, IRM changes for anonymised user investigations, and DLP policy sync time reduced from 2 hours to 30 minutes. Watch the full episode: https://hubs.li/Q04ntdYW0

Security tools are only part of the picture. The real question is: who's watching them, and what happens when something triggers at 2am on a Sunday?

BUI's Managed Detection and Response (MXDR) service gives you 24/7 monitoring, investigation, and response, so your team isn't left holding the risk alone.

World Pride Day is a powerful reminder of the importance of equality, diversity, and the freedom to live and love authentically. It is also a time to reflect on the progress made, acknowledge the work still to be done, and recognise the vital role of allyship, in our workplaces and in the world around us.

At BUI, we believe every person deserves to express their true selves fully. Today, we celebrate the strength and spirit of the LGBTQIA+ community, and the courage it takes to shine. 🌈

AI is already working inside legal teams. What most General Counsel are grappling with now is what to do about it.

Last night, BUI was proud to attend The African GC Night as a Gold Partner, hosted by Law Ninja. This exclusive, invitation-only event brought together some of Africa's most senior General Counsel and legal leaders for candid discussion about the role technology plays in modern legal practice.

A highlight of the evening was a talk by Colin Baumgart, BUI Global Sales Manager: "The AI Lawyer: Brilliant, Reckless, and Already in Your Organisation." Colin walked through how AI is reshaping legal work in real time, from accelerating case research to the risks that come with it, including hallucinated case law and the very real challenge of protecting sensitive client information.

BUI's Group Legal Counsel, Valencia Naidoo, was also in attendance, engaging with peers on the conversations shaping the future of the legal profession.

Thank you to Law Ninjas for a thoughtful and well-run evening.
