Entra.News #39: This week in Microsoft Entra
Hello there 👋, Merill here with your weekly update on Microsoft Entra.
This week has been quite the journey with the launch of Microsoft Copilot for Security into General Availability 🚀. We’ve also got some sparkling new Entra Recommendations to explore ✨.
A quick reminder that Azure AD and MSOnline PowerShell modules are now deprecated as of Mar 30, 2024 and to migrate your scripts to Microsoft Graph by Mar 2025.
Plus, there’s a fantastic episode of the Cloud Architects podcast 🎧 featuring my colleagues Tarek Dawood and Mark Morowczynski.
PS. Check out the SASE YouTube Short by the ever-entertaining Jonathan Edwards for a good laugh! 🤣 👇
Enjoy!
