In this episode of the AI Governance & Data Security Show, hosts Nikki Chapple and Ryan John Murphy are joined by Microsoft Purview leaders Maithili Dandige and Talhah Mir to explore what is happening behind the scenes in Microsoft Purview Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and where the platform is heading next. As organisations race to adopt Microsoft 365 Copilot, AI agents, and generative AI, understanding and securing data has become more important than ever.
