Your Business Tech Superpowers Just Leveled Up 🦸‍♂️

Good morning, cyber champs! 🏆
Another Tuesday, another chance to level up your tech game without breaking a sweat (or breaking the bank).

Let’s dive into this week’s freshest tips 👇

🔥 1. Microsoft Copilot for Small Biz Just Got a Power Boost

Microsoft quietly dropped a Copilot update for Microsoft 365 Business customers — and it's a game-changer.

What's new?
Copilot can now summarize emails, draft replies, and even prep PowerPoint decks using your company's own documents automatically. 🎯

Why it matters:
You don’t need a huge enterprise budget to get top-tier AI tools anymore. It’s all baked into the apps you’re already using!

Pro Tip:
✅ Enable “Connected Content” in Microsoft 365 settings to let Copilot pull in data across Teams, Word, and SharePoint.

💬 2. New AI Meeting Bots — Friend or Foe?

🚨 Tools like Otter.ai and Fireflies.ai are now integrating directly into Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet without even asking the host for permission sometimes.

What you should know:
Some bots record meetings automatically — which could be a privacy and compliance risk if you’re not careful.

Action Step:
✅ Set up meeting policies to require explicit recording consent and audit connected apps to your meeting platforms.

TL;DR:
Not all bots are bad... but all bots should ask before joining! 🤖👀

🛡️ 3. Passwordless Logins Are the Future (and Easier Than You Think)

Big players like Google, Microsoft, and Apple are now defaulting to passkeys instead of passwords.

What’s a passkey?
🔑 It’s a super-secure login tied to your device — no typing, no phishing risk.

How to use it today:
✅ Turn on passkeys for your Google and Microsoft accounts in your security settings.
✅ Encourage your team to use biometrics (FaceID, Windows Hello) instead of passwords when possible.

Bonus:
It’s easier for your team and harder for hackers. Double win. 🏆
