Protect and govern every tenant with Microsoft Entra Tenant Governance

Heather_Poulsen — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 20:48:45 GMT

As organizations scale, tenant sprawl becomes inevitable. Legacy test tenants, employee‑created environments, and forgotten tenants create blind spots for security and identity teams.

Get to know Microsoft Entra Tenant Governance, a new Entra capability that provides centralized visibility and control across multi‑tenant environments. We'll cover how Tenant Governance enables tenant discovery, secure governance relationships, configuration monitoring, and governed tenant creation from day one. You'll see how organizations can apply consistent security baselines, detect configuration drift, and reduce operational overhead all while maintaining autonomy across teams. Walk away with a clear framework for bringing order, visibility, and governance to your multi‑tenant identity landscape.

Live AMA: Defining AI boundaries with data sensitivity

Trevor_Rusher — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 16:58:54 GMT

As AI becomes embedded in everyday work, traditional data security models break down. Copilots and agents can search, summarize, and recombine information at machine speed, creating new exposure paths for sensitive data — even when nothing is formally shared or exfiltrated.

In this session, we’ll explain why data sensitivity, not data location, is now the true security boundary, and what that shift means for protecting information in the age of AI. We’ll walk through how organizations can establish a shared understanding of what data is sensitive, use sensitivity labels to consistently define how that data should be handled, and automatically enforce protections wherever data is created or used — including in AI experiences.

We’ll close with a live Ask Me Anything (AMA), where you can bring real-world questions about securing Copilot and agents, scaling classification and labeling, and turning sensitivity into consistent, enforceable controls with Microsoft Purview.

What to expect
• Live Q&A with Microsoft Security SMEs and real practitioners
• Questions submitted both in person and online
• No slides, no pitches, no roadmap discussions
• Real usage, real challenges, real answers

Whether you’re attending RSA in person or joining remotely, this is your chance to get straight answers from people building and securing AI at scale.
