Catch up on the Windows AI innovations we're sharing at Microsoft Ignite and find out what they mean for your organization.
When will this happen:
This week at Microsoft Ignite, we announced:
Windows security and resiliency innovations to help mitigate risk
The ability to scale resiliency with new recovery tools
Ways to improve your update experience with Windows Autopatch update readiness, quality update reports, and automatic or manual approvals for security, non-security, and out-of-band updates
Sysmon functionality coming natively to Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025 next year
