How Nutanix can Solve VMware Licensing and Hybrid Cloud Challenges

In this final episode of our four-part email security series, Nathan Taylor explores the evolving landscape of email protection and the technologies helping organizations build greater trust into their infrastructure. Legacy email protocols often fall short in today’s threat environment, making modern standards like MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, and DNSSEC increasingly important. 

These tools enforce encrypted email transmission, provide visibility into delivery failures, and strengthen domain authentication. 

Microsoft’s support for these standards, along with proper DNS configuration, enables organizations to improve both outbound and inbound email security. Transitioning to Microsoft’s new MX records further enhances trust by aligning with these advanced protections and contributing to a more secure and resilient email ecosystem.

Improving Email Trust and Encryption with Modern Security Standards

Copilot Researcher is a prebuilt AI agent available to Microsoft 365 Copilot users. It performs deep-dive research based on user prompts and can access both internal and external data sources. This agent is designed to support product development, market analysis, and strategic planning. 

Unlike Copilot Chat, which provides fast, context-aware responses, Copilot Researcher engages in interactive dialogue to clarify intent and build a multi-step research output. The final result is a multi-page document that includes insights, recommendations, and supporting context. It uses OpenAI’s GPT-3.5-turbo model and Microsoft’s deep research algorithms to simulate the work of an R&D team. 

This tool is part of Microsoft’s growing ecosystem of AI agents designed to enhance productivity and decision-making.

What's New with Microsoft: Introducing Copilot Researcher Agent (July Updates)

Azure cost management involves more than tracking usage. Built-in tools like Azure Advisor offer recommendations across cost, security, reliability, and performance, but they don’t always surface the full picture. 

Hybrid use benefits, reservations, and savings plans can significantly reduce spend when applied strategically. Third-party platforms also add deeper visibility and automation, especially in complex environments. 

Understanding how these tools work together helps IT teams manage sprawl, optimize resources, and maintain predictable budgets.

Why Email Fails Inside your Microsoft Tenant Without you Knowing

Microsoft 365 offers powerful tools for protecting your organization’s email, but many of them are underutilized or misconfigured. Nathan Taylor (SVP, Global Microsoft Practice Leader) explores how Microsoft Defender for Office 365 enhances email security through features like safe links, attachment sandboxing, and AI-driven threat detection. 

Common missteps in email filtering include reliance on outdated MX-based filtering methods, which can interfere with message integrity and authentication. Native mail flow through Microsoft 365 is recommended to preserve message metadata and improve detection accuracy. Proper configuration of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is essential to align with modern security requirements, enabling features such as safe links, attachment sandboxing, and AI-driven threat analysis.

Modern Email Security Using Microsoft Defender for Office 365

Many organizations overspend in Microsoft Azure without realizing it. Misconfigured virtual machines, underused Azure reservations, and missed opportunities with hybrid use benefits are just a few of the common issues that drive up cloud costs.

Understanding how Microsoft bills for Azure compute, storage, and services like SQL Server and Microsoft Sentinel is key to identifying savings. Strategic use of the Azure Pricing Calculator, combined with a clear view of long-term workloads, can lead to significant reductions in monthly Azure spend, often by 30 to 60 percent.

Clear, practical guidance helps uncover where those savings are found and how to approach Azure cost management with confidence and clarity.

What's New with Microsoft: Free Copilot Chat with Enterprise-Grade Security (July 2025 Updates)

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are foundational email authentication standards that help ensure messages are sent from authorized sources and remain unaltered in transit. These DNS-based records improve deliverability, reduce spoofing, and support compliance with modern email infrastructure requirements. Proper configuration is essential for organizations relying on bulk email, marketing platforms, or third-party services. Misalignment can lead to rejected messages, reduced trust, and visibility gaps. Tools like EasyDMARC provide reporting to help identify issues and improve authentication coverage across services.

Make your Email Infrastructure Compliant with Modern Standards using SPF, DKIM and DMARC

Email authentication is essential for ensuring deliverability, preventing spoofing, and maintaining domain trust. In this episode, Nathan Taylor discusses how SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are core technologies that work together to validate sender identity and protect against unauthorized use. DNS and DNSSEC play a foundational role in publishing and securing these records, enabling proper verification across systems.

Common misconfigurations, record alignment challenges, and the impact of third-party services are key considerations in maintaining effective authentication. Managing marketing platforms, third-party senders, and internal systems requires alignment with email authentication standards to maintain a secure and reliable email environment.
