In the show this week, Paul and I discuss a cyber attack reported against Azure AD Connect that inflicted a vast amount of damage to a business - and how you can take straightforward steps to guard against it. And what podcast would be complete without mentioning AI?
Microsoft get industry-focused with new announcements. In more fun news, Microsoft bring snapchat filters to Microsoft Teams along with animated backgrounds - be the "office joker" and lose the respect of your colleagues today.
Plus - with two new changes to the Graph API and Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android, I ask the question: could these be a chance for Microsoft to be more transparent about power consumption in the service and is there a possibility you could save money and be more sustainable by moving to MTR devices on Android that use much less power, and might cost an order of magnitude less?
