3 business colleagues standing and talking

We’re excited to share two major updates for our public sector and defense customers:

 

1. Azure OpenAI Service is now FedRAMP High authorized for Azure Government. This approval allows government agencies to securely leverage advanced AI capabilities, including GPT-4o, within their Azure Government environment.

2. For the first time, we’re targeting a General Availability (GA) of September 2025 for Microsoft 365 Copilot in GCC High and DOD environments (pending government authorization). Copilot will deliver powerful AI tools tailored for decision-making, automation, and enhanced collaboration, all while meeting the strict compliance and security needs of our defense and government customers.
