The cloud has become an essential infrastructure for IT teams due to its ease and speed of deployment. It is an ideal platform for deploying servers, modernizing workloads, and reducing vulnerabilities with current software. However, the perception of increased security and cost savings isn’t always accurate. Just like on-premises infrastructure, security is only as strong as the weakest link in your environment. While cost savings can be achieved through committed usage, these commitments should be carefully reviewed.

Why is cloud backup important? Data stored in the cloud is just as vulnerable as data stored on‑premises. Misconfigurations, accidental deletions, and cyberattacks can all make critical information unavailable in seconds. Cloud backup isn’t optional anymore — it’s the foundation of business continuity. It ensures that when data is lost, compromised, or corrupted, you can recover quickly and keep operations running without disruption.

Prior to kicking off backups of your cloud workloads, the following considerations should be reviewed with your team, leadership, and stakeholders, so everyone is on the same page and expectations are clear.

• What native options do I have in my cloud environment? Azure, AWS, and Google all have tools to protect your workloads in their environment. But as the name states, it is native to the platform the workloads are deployed to. If you want to move to another platform, or if your platform is unavailable — then what? How do you move your data to another platform to run your systems? Leveraging the native tools is great for a quick protection plan, but not ideal for data freedom as technology advances. Moving the workload could mean complicated, costly, untimely, inefficient, potential loss of data or services.

• What external options do I have? There are several solutions for protecting your cloud workloads that may require one or more models, depending on what you are trying to protect in the cloud. It is important to review the options and take into consideration what they protect. What are the options for recovery, and what costs are associated with data movement and growth?

• Where do I place my backups? This is the most critical part of planning for cloud backups. Where can I place my data securely and cost-efficiently? How long does it take to send the backups to this location, and how long does it take to recover? Do I need additional services in my tenant, such as Express Route in Azure, to speed up data transfers? Are my backups being transferred in a secure manner? Do I send my backups to another cloud provider or on-prem — or both? These are all major considerations that have an impact on processes and budgets.

• What are the costs associated with the backups? Sending data to the cloud is the easy and cheap part of the process. It’s the extraction of the data being backed up that causes the impact on budgeting. API calls, outbound data transfer, and possible delays can happen if stored in archive storage. Going through a pricing calculator or working with your partner to understand these costs and how to budget should be done before deploying any solution.

• How do I ensure my backups are protected? Traditionally, repositories have been straightforward — with a storage appliance, network share, and tapes for offsite protection. Cloud repositories require more knowledge of the risks with cloud and knowing which settings need to be configured for immutability; encryption is enabled on the backup job, and security access is restricted. This is something Veeam addresses, while providing documentation for our users to ensure the settings meet best practices and that your backups are protected.

• How do I test my backups? Whether on-prem or cloud, backups should be tested to ensure integrity, functionality, and speed. With the cloud, there are more considerations when designing your test plans. Did you test in your production tenant? Subscription? Region? Do you have a designated clean room for testing? Do you restore to another cloud service or on-prem? What are the costs to perform a test for one system? All production? The entire environment? Are the tests scheduled, automated, or only ad hoc? What tools can be leveraged to test backups while reducing impact on budgets, resources, etc.

• What other considerations exist for a cloud outage? If you are leveraging a private cloud, what documentation and visibility are the vendor providing to ensure SLAs are met? Is this defined in your contract? And if SLAs are not met, what are the consequences? The greatest question for clouds is: Will an outage impact the safety of others, revenue, or the survival of the business?

1. Establish Retention Policies and SLAs

• Having conversations with stakeholders and leadership to determine how long data needs to be retained.
• Leverage tools to calculate cost:
•    Add service – AWS Pricing Calculator
•    Pricing Calculator | Microsoft Azure
•    Google Cloud Pricing Calculator

2. Follow 3-2-1-1-0 rule: 3 copies, 2 different devices, 1 offsite, air-gapped, and immutable, securely restored

• Having multiple copies of your data in more than one environment is critical to business continuity. Implementing a plan to leverage a service in the cloud, on-prem, off-site, and managed services will give you the confidence that your business can recover — no matter where it is stored and what outages by providers or your own infrastructure might occur.
• In addition to multiple copies, we need to ensure that the data is protected by enabling encryption, immutability, and air-gapping logically and physically. This layer of protection reduces modifications attackers can make. When they gain access to an environment, the first place they are going to attack are your backups.
• With AI usage increasing, attackers are finding it easier to bypass all these security configurations in place and exploit backups. This is why it’s critical to test and scan your backups prior to bringing them online. If not, the same or a new infection could be introduced and delay the recovery of your environment.

3. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plans

Having a business continuity and disaster recovery plan is just as critical in the cloud as it is on-premises. Here is a guide on implementing these critical policies for your organization:

Ready to revolutionize your business operations with Microsoft 365 Copilot Business?

Don’t miss this opportunity to transform your work.

This week, we’re bringing AI-powered building to employees across the organization, with new agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers in the Frontier program: App Builder and Workflows. Using these agents and Copilot Studio, Copilot now enables employees to turn ideas into impact by creating apps, workflows, and agents—just as easily as having a conversation. Describe what you need in natural language, and Copilot helps you build it. And because the outputs are integrated with your Copilot experience, they’re secure, governed, and connected to your Microsoft 365 data.

Start building apps and workflows with Copilot today

Imagine you’re preparing for a product launch. With a few multi-turn interactions, Copilot helps you build what you need for success:

• Apps: Create an app for a product launch process where teams can track launch milestones, assign tasks, and view campaign progress in a dashboard.
• Flows: Send a Teams update every Monday with upcoming launch deadlines and key tasks from Planner. Post reminders for approval deadlines in Teams channels.
• Agents: Build an agent that answers product launch questions—like what the next milestone is, how to submit creative assets, or when the launch event is—using SharePoint resources and Teams conversations.

Copilot now includes App Builder, making it easy to create and deploy apps in minutes, no database setup required. Work with App Builder to create and refine dashboards, charts, calculators, lists, and any other interactive element you can dream up. You can preview and refine your app, over multiple edits and comments, without leaving Copilot.

The experience is grounded in your Microsoft 365 content, including documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and notes, and can even generate and store new data using Microsoft Lists as a backend. Sharing is just as simple: Distribute your app with a link, just like you would share a document.

Learn more from the people who built App Builder.

Turn your idea into an app with Copilot

With the new Workflows agent, Copilot can help you automate tasks like sending emails and reminders, managing calendars, and sharing team updates. Just describe what you want, and Copilot converts your words into automated flows across Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Planner, and services like Approvals.

As the flow builds, you’ll see each step in real time, making it easy to follow and understand the workflow. If you want to add more steps, or adjust behaviors, you can make requests in the same conversation with Copilot.

Workflows is optimized for end users but built on the same infrastructure that powers Agent Flows in the full Copilot Studio experience. This shared foundation delivers enterprise-grade reliability to personal automation.

Learn more from the people who built Workflows.

Create your ideal workflow with Copilot

Built into Copilot, the lightweight Copilot Studio experience makes it easy to create productivity-focused agents grounded in your work. Copilot Studio turns your words into a fully functional agent with structured logic and clear instructions. Earlier this year, we enhanced Copilot Studio to connect agents more deeply to your work, pulling from SharePoint, meeting transcripts, chats, emails, and external systems like ServiceNow and Jira.

When you’re ready to scale, the full Copilot Studio experience unlocks advanced workflows, model selection, collaborative multi-agent systems, and more—taking you from productivity agents to IT-led, enterprise-wide solutions.

Learn more from the people who built Copilot Studio.

Microsoft 365 Copilot is built on enterprise-grade security, compliance, and reliability. App Builder, Workflows, and Copilot Studio are built on these same principles. These agents respect user context, enforcing individual permissions and role-based access to support governance. They are available exclusively through Microsoft 365 which helps ensure all activity stays secure, compliant, and aligned with organizational policies.

For admins, management is streamlined with unified permissions, visibility, and controls across the organization. Access to these conversational AI building tools can be managed in the agent inventory section of the Microsoft 365 admin center, so there’s no need for one-by-one guardrails. This allows for granular control at the group level, helping to ensure that only approved individuals can create, use, or share apps, flows, and agents, while maintaining compliance with organizational policies.

App Builder and Workflows are now available in the Agent Store for customers in the Frontier program, and you can easily create your own personalized agent by selecting “Create agent” in Copilot. Microsoft 365 Copilot makes it easy to build what you need, whether it’s an app, a workflow, or an agent.

Ever tried scrolling endlessly through a Microsoft Teams chat just to find one image someone shared last week? Those days are over. Microsoft Teams now lets you search for images directly within your chats and channels. Whether it’s a project whiteboard photo, a meeting screenshot, or a design draft, you can now locate images by typing relevant keywords or names in the Teams search bar.

Rolling out from November through December 2025, this feature is set to transform how you locate visual content, saving you time and streamlining your workflow. Let’s explore when and where we can access the Image Search in Microsoft Teams!

Microsoft is releasing Image Search in phases across various environments:

• • Targeted Release: Early November 2025 → Mid-November 2025
  • Worldwide and GCC: Mid-November 2025 → Early December 2025
  • GCC-H and DoD: Early December 2025 → Mid-December 2025

Once the rollout completes, Image Search will be available by default; no admin configuration required.

Teams users can now easily search for images shared across chats and channels directly from the search bar. The image results are intelligently organized from message content, participants, and the chat or channel location where the image was shared. Here are the keyways to use it:

The moment you start typing a name or a keyword in the search bar, Teams will now display relevant image results directly in the autosuggest dropdown. Click on an image thumbnail to open it instantly.

When your search is limited to pictures, use Images filter in the latest Microsoft Teams chat and channels experience. You can click this filter in the autosuggest menu or use the handy is:image keyword right in the search bar (e.g., is: image marketing). This works even if you haven’t typed anything yet (zero-query mode), showing you recent images.

When you need more context, press Enter after your search. This takes you to the full Search Results Page. Select the new Images tab to see all matching images displayed clearly. Each result shows the image alongside the message it was shared with. It also displays the chat or channel it came from, helping you instantly understand its relevance.

Once you click on any image result, whether from autosuggest or the results page, it opens in a clean, focused lightbox view. From there, you can easily browse through all the other related images from your search results using a convenient carousel, without having to go back to the list.

The addition of Image search in Microsoft Teams makes the application a more powerful collaboration tool. Key benefits include:

• • Faster Access: Find screenshots, whiteboards, and shared images instantly.
  • Better Context: See the message and chat/channel for each image.
  • Higher Productivity: Spend less time searching, more time working.
  • Easy Browsing: Lightbox and carousel make reviewing images simple.
  • Improved Organization: Quickly locate and reference visuals across Teams.

Important Note: Currently, Image search in Teams does not support text recognition (OCR). This means Teams cannot yet search for words or phrases within the images themselves. However, Microsoft may expand these capabilities in future updates, possibly integrating deeper AI-based visual recognition.

And that’s it! A faster, simpler way to find images in Teams. Hope this new feature saves you time and helps you get back to what’s important!

No more endless scrolling; the image you need is right at your fingertips.

From confidential business strategies to client data and financial reports, meetings often carry highly sensitive conversations. Preventing this content from being shared outside the organization has always been a challenge. Just one screenshot or unauthorized screen recording can open the door to data leaks, compliance violations, and reputational damage.

To address this risk, Microsoft Teams is now introducing a screen capture block for meetings. This powerful feature ensures that screenshots or screen recordings during meetings cannot be taken without permission, keeping sensitive information secure. Let’s take a closer look at how this update is set to change the game!

The Prevent Screen Capture feature in Teams meetings safeguards sensitive content by blocking screenshots and screen recordings across supported platforms. This capability is part of Microsoft Teams Premium and is not governed by meeting policy.

It restricts screen capture using both native device tools and most third-party apps, making it far more difficult for attendees to copy or share visual content. As this feature limits access to visual meeting content, it may also affect how users access, export, capture, delete, or retain personal data shared during meetings (GDPR Data Subject Rights).

To ensure confidentiality across different devices, the feature applies platform-specific protections, such as:

• Windows desktop: Any attempt to capture will result in a screenshot showing a black screen over the meeting window and pop-outs.
• Mac desktop: Captured content leaves no trace, with both the window and pop-outs completely hidden.
• Android devices: When users attempt to take a screenshot or screen recording, a ‘screen capture restricted’ message appears. The protection also covers stage, chat, participant list, notes, banners, Copilot panels, and more.
• iOS devices: Screenshots and screen recordings are permitted, but live video like participant feeds is replaced with profile pictures or static content. Further protections for additional screens are planned in future updates.

Note: Attendees on unsupported platforms will join meetings in audio-only mode without visual access.

By default, this feature is off and must be enabled per meeting by organizers or co-organizers. After creating the meeting, organizers can enable it via Meeting Options using the path:

Meeting Options → Advanced Protection → Prevent Screen Capture toggle

The targeted release of the new screen capture block in Teams meetings will start in mid-September 2025 and is expected to finish by late September 2025. Then, the worldwide general availability rollout will begin in mid-October 2025 and complete by late October 2025.

• Educate stakeholders: Inform meeting organizers as well as security and compliance teams about the feature’s purpose, and guide them on how to enable it via Meeting Options.

• Prepare and govern: Manage Teams Premium licensing to ensure the feature is available to the right users. Additionally, review and update internal documentation and policies for Teams Premium usage.
• Enforce device enrollment: Use Entra ID group membership to make sure devices are Intune-enrolled and compliant with screen capture prevention requirements.

With this update, Microsoft Teams makes a significant move to reduce one of the biggest risks in virtual meetings. However, risks like photos taken with external devices still exist. To ensure confidentiality, deploy key Teams meeting configurations such as restricting anonymous access, limiting external participants, and other security settings to safeguard meetings.

Real-time model routing

GPT-5 introduces real-time model routing, allowing Copilot to automatically choose the best model for each task. Simple queries get fast, succinct responses through GPT-5’s high-throughput model, while complex tasks receive deeper, more thoughtful answers with GPT-5’s deeper reasoning model. No need to toggle between “standard” or “thinking” modes—Copilot does the thinking for you.

Source:What’s new with GPT-5 in Copilot

Bringing GPT-5 to Copilot on the day of its release is part of our commitment to make OpenAI’s latest models available to customers in Microsoft 365 Copilot within 30 days. Copilot delivers the latest AI innovation, tuned for work and tailored to your business needs—with the security, compliance, and privacy that you expect from Microsoft.

Here’s how GPT-5 shows up in Copilot:

• For the first time, Copilot can take your prompt, understand it, and use GPT-5’s real-time router to choose the best model to reason over the prompt and craft a response.

• For common or routine questions, Copilot prioritizes speed, using GPT-5’s smart, high-throughput modelto craft quick, succinct responses to your straightforward questions.

• For complex or more open-ended questions, Copilot can now detect that the prompt requires advanced reasoning. In those cases, Copilot will use GPT-5’s deeper reasoning model, taking its time to craft a plan, gather and comprehend all relevant context, and check its work before providing a thorough response.

Copilot automatically selects the right model based on the context to more closely mirror how humans approach problems—whether that’s offering quick, intuitive answers to simple problems, or taking more time to apply deeper reasoning to answer more complex ones.

Say you’re a marketer considering request for proposal (RFP) responses from a few different agencies. You can ask Copilot to track down the responses and summarize each. It understands your simple request, scans your work data, and quickly comes back with the list you asked for.

Let’s go a step further and ask for Copilot’s help evaluating and stack-ranking the RFP responses. Copilot recognizes this is a more complex request and routes to GPT-5’s reasoning model. With the full context of your work data like documents, emails, meetings, and chats, Copilot applies relevant, proprietary context to a highly specific process, giving you a thoughtful recommendation for selecting an agency.

With GPT-5, Copilot can provide both fast, fluent responses and deep, reasoned analyses. This two-brain approach is what makes the GPT‑5 era of Copilot particularly powerful.

GPT‑5 in Copilot is available starting today to reason over both web and work data for licensed Microsoft 365 Copilot users and will be rolled out to users without a license in the coming weeks.
