What we covered
Strengthening your security posture with Microsoft Security
How Microsoft's security tools work together to protect identities, devices and data: sign-in controls and multi-factor authentication, device management, and threat protection for mail and endpoints.
Transforming the modern workplace with Microsoft Copilot
Practical ways Copilot supports drafting, analysis and meetings across Microsoft 365, and why permissions and sensitivity labels should be in order before it is switched on.

Session write-up
Gulf Infotech and Redington hosted this morning workshop in Muscat for CIOs, CTOs and IT managers. It was a closed event: registration was reviewed and approved, so the room of about 50 to 60 customers stayed focused on people responsible for security and IT decisions.
The longest block, 90 minutes, was on strengthening security posture with Microsoft Security, covering how Microsoft's integrated security capabilities work together to protect identities, devices and data. After the break, the second hour turned to Microsoft Copilot and practical ways it supports productivity in the modern workplace. Dhiraj Mangtani of Redington and Yahya Zakir Sait shared the sessions, and the morning closed with next steps and a networking lunch.
The reason the two topics sat on one agenda is practical. Copilot can surface anything a user already has access to, so oversharing and weak sign-in controls become more visible once AI arrives. Our advice for an Omani organisation is to review permissions, enforce multi-factor authentication and label sensitive data before a Copilot rollout, not after.
