Security News > 2024 > June > Australian Organizations are Fascinated With Copilot for Microsoft 365, But Will They Avoid The “Gotchas”?
The interest in Microsoft Copilot is high, with many major Australian organizations signing on to be part of Microsoft's early access and pre-launch testing process.
Gartner recently published a series of "Gotchas" with Copilot, and these are things Australian organizations need to consider in order to fully think through implementations and to benefit from what Copilot offers.
The sum of these gotchas indicate that Australian organizations need to first fully canvas what Copilot brings to the business, how it will be used, and who in the organization will have access to it and why they need it.
Copilot is seen as a strong opportunity to start to move forward on AI projects; however, it's chasing that ROI that can lead organizations to fall for one or more of the Copilot gotchas.
Microsoft has engaged deeply with Australian businesses through the development of Copilot.
In April 2024, Microsoft announced several Australian organisations, including Australian Super, Powerlink Queensland and TAL, had adopted Copilot specifically to strengthen their cyber security capabilities.
