Cloud, AI, and Security: A Unified Strategy Virtual Workshop
AI adoption is accelerating, licensing is shifting, and security can’t be an afterthought. Cloud, AI, and Security are no longer separate tracks; they succeed or fail together. Join eGroup for a modern look at how to build on Azure and adopt Copilot and agentic AI on Microsoft, with the right licensing and the right guardrails from the start.
Every organization is being pressured to adopt AI and automation solutions; fewer are being told how to do it without overspending, exposing sensitive data, or rolling out tools that no one governs. In this half-day workshop, we’ll focus on the key factors that make or break an AI rollout, starting with the cloud foundation that supports everything else.
AGENDA
1:00PM – 1:30PM Opening Keynote: The Future of IT, Converging Cloud, AI, and Security
The market trends reshaping IT, why siloed cloud, AI, and security initiatives fail, and the case for a unified strategy.
1:30PM – 2:00PM Session 1: Microsoft Security, The Foundation Under the AI
Why identity, data governance, and Zero Trust come first, and how to keep sensitive data safe as Copilot and agents reach deeper into your environment.
2:00PM – 2:45PM Session 2: Managing Incidents In Your AI & Cyber Environment
Sentinel and Defender work together to detect, investigate, and respond to threats across your environment. In this session, we’ll show how they improve visibility and response, along with a live demo of eGroup’s ThreatDefender service in action.
2:45PM – 3:15PM Session 3: Microsoft AI Solutions, From Pilot to Productivity
Where Microsoft AI delivers value, how to roll it out beyond a handful of power users, and how to measure adoption that sticks.
3:15PM – 3:50PM Session 4: Agentic AI, Beyond Chat
What “agents” mean in the Microsoft ecosystem, the use cases worth building first, and how to move from one-off prompts to AI that takes action across your workflows.
3:50PM – 4:30PM Session 5: Azure Foundation, Building a Scalable, Secure Cloud Strategy
Azure as the backbone for AI and security, plus governance, cost management, and hybrid strategy done right.
4:30PM – 5:00PM Session 6: E7 Licensing, What’s Changing and What It Means for You
A plain-language look at the latest Microsoft licensing and how to map the right plan to your AI and security goals, so you pay for what you’ll actually use.
