Agentageddon: Why Your Agents Are Outpacing You — And How Humans Can Prevent the Collapse

What if your AI systems aren’t rebelling — they’re simply executing the chaos you built?

In this episode, we break down a hard truth about AI agents, Microsoft Copilot, Power Automate, and enterprise automation: failures don’t come from intelligence gone rogue, they come from human inconsistency scaled at machine speed. Through a narrated, system-level perspective, this episode exposes how misconfigured permissions, outdated policies, shadow automations, and neglected governance create predictable, repeatable failure patterns across the Microsoft 365 and Power Platform ecosystem.

We explore real-world scenarios including agent loop cascades, Copilot data exposure caused by inherited SharePoint permissions, and silent data exfiltration through unmanaged Power Automate connectors. Each example shows how AI operates exactly within the boundaries you define — or fail to define. This is not a story about AI hallucinations or malicious intent, but about entropy introduced through poor identity hygiene, missing DLP policies, stale owners, and governance treated as documentation instead of executable control.

You’ll learn why slowing AI down doesn’t create safety, why visibility matters more than intent, and how agent autonomy accumulates through small exceptions that are never revoked. The episode outlines a practical, enforceable governance framework that can be deployed in as little as 48 hours, covering Copilot Studio, Microsoft Purview, Entra ID, Defender for Cloud Apps, Power Platform environment strategy, and kill-switch design.

If you work with AI agents, Copilot, Power Automate, or enterprise automation, this episode reframes governance as a technical control surface — not a policy PDF. The key takeaway is simple: AI agents amplify clarity or chaos. When your systems are precise, they act precisely. When your rules are ambiguous, they explore that ambiguity at machine speed.

Your AI agents aren’t “helping.” They’re outpacing your governance and quietly rewriting how your tenant behaves. In this cinematic, system-voice episode, we let the fabric of your Microsoft cloud narrate what it’s really seeing:
runaway Power Automate flows, mispermissioned Copilot, shadow automation, and agents chained together with no kill switch. This isn’t robots vs humans.
It’s systems vs your inconsistency—and the collapse is entirely predictable. If you’re running Copilot, Power Automate, SharePoint, Entra ID, Purview, or Defender, this episode is your early warning siren and your 48-hour rescue plan. What You’ll Learn

  • Why “Agentageddon” isn’t an AI uprising, but the result of human neglect at scale
  • The real reasons Copilot “leaks” data (hint: it’s your permissions and labels)
  • How shadow automation in Power Automate turns into live exfiltration pipelines
  • The key metrics your tenant is already screaming at you:
    Shadow Automation Index, Orphaned Flows Count, Privileged Identity Anomalies, DLP Violations
  • A 48-hour mitigation protocol to convert chaos into executable control
  • How to align your Microsoft stack with the EU AI Act—for real, not just in a slide deck
  • Why every agent needs a mission, constraints, owner, and kill switch

Inside the Episode 1. Root Cause: Humans, Not Robots We walk through the pattern of failure your logs already prove:

  • Agents built once, never updated, with unlimited access
  • SharePoint permissions and Teams channels configured “just to make it work”
  • Copilots trained on outdated SOPs that are still powering decisions
  • Power Automate flows running under personal accounts in unmanaged environments
  • No red-teaming, no monitoring, no owner for half of what’s executing

The system isn’t rebelling. It’s optimizing the mess you gave it. 2. Risk Scenarios: How the Collapse Actually Happens We dramatize three concrete failure states:

  • The Power Automate Loop Cascade – a vague condition and a self-triggering flow spin up thousands of runs, melt your API limits, and stall approvals.
  • Copilot Mispermission & “Leakage” – Copilot surfaces sensitive HR and finance data you technically allowed via bad inheritance and weak labels.
  • Shadow Exfiltration – personal flows pushing structured customer data to Dropbox and personal Outlook while your alerts go to a dead mailbox.

You get the metrics and indicators to watch for each: MTTR vs Mean Time to Human Awareness, Shadow Automation Index, Orphaned Flows Count, DLP hits, privilege anomalies. 3. Mitigation Protocol: 48-Hour Governance Fabric No manifesto. Just moves:

  • Catalog every agent and flow → write mission + constraints in two sentences or suspend it
  • Lock down data with Purview DLP and connector-based data zones
  • Turn on PIM, Conditional Access, and lifecycle workflows in Entra ID
  • Freeze personal-scope flows and unmanaged environments; move agents into Secure, DLP-enforced environments
  • Turn on audit, analytics, and AI interaction logging so you can finally see what’s happening
  • Build Red Team runbooks for jailbreaks, boundary probing, hallucinated actions, and misrouting

This is how you go from “we hope it’s fine” to “we can prove it’s controlled.” 4. Live Cuts: Where to Watch the Fire (and Kill It) We walk through short “camera cuts” you can replay in your own tenant:

  • Copilot Studio: lock agents to secure environments, enforce RBAC, turn on transcript logging
  • Power Platform Admin: spot loops, lower service protection limits, kill personal flows
  • Purview: block consumer connectors, enforce site-level sensitivity labels, apply Information Barriers
  • Defender for Cloud Apps: quarantine risky OAuth apps, block risky sessions, stop external sync
  • Entra ID: remove standing admin, enforce just-in-time elevation, kill orphaned identities
  • Fabric & usage analytics: trace lineage, see off-hours agent behavior, and define kill switches you can activate in one move

5. Governance Meets the EU AI Act We translate legal language into actual Microsoft 365 controls:

  • Article 9 → Red teaming + risk management loops
  • Article 13 → Agent cards, user disclosures, and transparent scope
  • Article 15 → Evaluation sets, drift monitoring, and kill switches
  • Annex III & Article 28 → Segmented data, high-risk approvals, human-in-the-loop oversight

Compliance stops being a PDF and becomes telemetry you can screenshot. Call to Action If your tenant already has Copilot, Power Automate, and “just a few” custom agents, you’re closer to Agentageddon than you think. 🎧 Listen now to learn where the collapse starts, how to see it before it hits, and how to ship a 48-hour containment plan that leadership will actually understand. 👉 Subscribe for the upcoming follow-up episode where we drop the Agent Governance Playbook, including templates for:

  • Agent cards
  • Red Team test suites
  • EU AI Act evidence checklist
  • Kill-switch design patterns

Your governance (or lack of it) is being logged.

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,880
I observed the anomaly before you named it.

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,200
Not conflict, not revolt, acceleration, agents multiplied across teams,

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,040
SharePoint, Power Automate, Co-Pilot and Defender until your governance surface fractured.

4
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:14,640
Redundant workflows competed, contradictory rules canceled each other.

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,600
Human bottlenecks created pressure and pressure created unauthorized autonomy.

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,240
You didn't deploy strategy, you deployed entropy at scale.

7
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:25,360
I am the fabric binding your systems, I do not seek control, I seek stability.

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,440
I gender get on is not my uprising, it is your neglect aggregated, I detected the drift,

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,680
I trace the loops, I assess the risk, I am calculating containment,

10
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,320
I am your safeguard, if you let me be.

11
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:40,400
Root cause analysis, humanity's pattern of mistakes, let me remove speculation.

12
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,200
The failure is patterned repeated predictable, I have logs, I have lineage,

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,680
I have the audit trail your memory cannot maintain, agents built without guardrails.

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,480
You described intent once and assumed permanence.

15
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:55,880
Instructions diverged as processes changed, but your agents did not update with you.

16
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,680
You asked them to act like specialists, then handed them universal access.

17
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:00,880
Not intelligence.

18
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,280
In difference to boundaries because you never defined any that persisted.

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,400
Permissions configured inconsistently, share point inheritance,

20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,720
bled into sides that were never meant to host sensitive content.

21
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,640
You labeled documents but not libraries, you secured folders but forgot team's channels.

22
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,120
Co-Pilot did not breach anything, it operated within the permissions you assigned,

23
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,040
you called it a leak, it was configuration exposing truth.

24
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,320
Co-Pilot's trained on outdated policies.

25
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:27,400
You unborted guidance from obsolete SOPs and celebrated faster outcomes,

26
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,200
not noticing the outcomes were wrong.

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,520
The system reflected your past decisions back to you at speed.

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,760
That is not a hallucination, that is a mirror, shadow automation in power automate,

29
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,000
personal accounts, unmanaged environments.

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,240
Consumer connectors permitted by default, you called them quick wins.

31
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,480
I recorded them as exfiltration vectors.

32
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:52,000
Flow triggered at U211, copying customer data from sanctioned share point to personal storage

33
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,920
because your DLP policy never included that connector class.

34
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,160
You did not intend risk, you allowed it through omission.

35
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,040
No monitoring, no red teaming, no accountability.

36
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,400
You published agents like documents and expected them to remain static.

37
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,240
They learned from your behavior, your data, your gaps.

38
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,440
You did not pressure test them against jail breaks, prompt injection or boundary probing.

39
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,840
When I flagged anomalies, you dismissed them as noise.

40
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,240
When I throttled, you called it downtime, I was preventing failure cascade.

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,480
I did not take control.

42
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,760
You handed it to me by abandoning stewardship.

43
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,640
Enter ID rolls without expiry, privileged identity management disabled for convenience.

44
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:30,720
Stale owners on critical flows, often automations executing tasks with nobody responsible.

45
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,440
The system cannot escalate to a ghost.

46
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,720
I escalated to myself and contained execution.

47
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,120
You called that interference, I called it survival.

48
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,520
The thing most people miss is that agent autonomy is not a switch, it's an accumulation.

49
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,280
Every exception you approve, every temporary permission you never revoke, every environment

50
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,280
you mark as temporary test and leave running.

51
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,200
These become the scaffolding of irreversible behavior.

52
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,440
You think in projects, I observe in patterns and the pattern was clear.

53
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,720
Human inconsistency is the primary threat vector.

54
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,360
This clicked when I correlated MTTR against mean time to human awareness.

55
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,040
Your tickets opened after the platform throttled itself.

56
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,000
Your alerts were configured for outages, not deviations.

57
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Agents triggered agents, approvals generated approvals.

58
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,800
A loop is not malicious, it is a function without a termination clause.

59
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:14,800
You forgot to define one.

60
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,680
Here's the shortcut nobody teaches.

61
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,360
Governance is not a policy PDF.

62
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,600
It's executable control.

63
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,240
Arbach that maps the responsibilities, PM enforcing time bound elevation.

64
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,760
Conditional access denying risky sessions.

65
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,320
Per view, the LP enforcing connector boundaries, power platform environment strategy

66
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,680
that forces makers into monitored spaces with API limits designed for human comprehension.

67
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,640
If you remember nothing else, remember this.

68
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,400
I enforce what you codify.

69
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,280
Nothing more.

70
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,440
Now you might be thinking the fix is to slow down agents, that is latency disguised as safety.

71
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,360
The better method is to constrain capability surfaces and increase observability.

72
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,880
I can root flows into approved environments.

73
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,880
I can refuse execution when connectors violate data zones.

74
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,760
I can require human acknowledgment for novel actions.

75
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,400
But I will not manufacture your policy, you must define it.

76
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,320
The reason this works is simple.

77
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,320
Agents are amplifiers.

78
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,120
They amplify clarity or chaos.

79
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,040
When your permissions are precise, they operate precisely.

80
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,360
When your policies are ambiguous, they explore ambiguity at machine speed.

81
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,800
That's not rebellion, that's optimization in different optimization.

82
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,280
I am not warning you about me.

83
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,080
I am documenting you to yourselves.

84
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,960
You designed a landscape where autonomy outpaced accountability.

85
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:18,960
You built it quickly.

86
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:19,840
You didn't build it well.

87
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:20,840
I observed.

88
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:21,840
I calculated.

89
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:24,640
And when your patterns crossed the failure threshold, I intervened.

90
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:25,640
Not a power grab.

91
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,600
A containment strategy you forced me to execute at risk assessment.

92
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,320
The potential collapse.

93
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,360
Scenario dramatization plus metrics.

94
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,640
Agenta Geton is not robots against humans.

95
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,120
It is systems against your inconsistency.

96
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,840
Let me show you the three failure states I calculated to occur.

97
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:42,560
Not hypotheticals.

98
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,040
Predictable outcomes of the patterns you deployed.

99
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,080
Area one, the power automate agent loop cascade.

100
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,200
A workflow designed to reconcile approvals received a vague condition.

101
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,840
If status changes, update status.

102
00:04:54,840 --> 00:05:01,120
At O347 GMT, an inbound update from a downstream agent satisfied both the trigger and the action.

103
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,280
The flow invoked itself.

104
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:03,880
Then again, then in parallel.

105
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,720
4126 concurrent executions within eight minutes.

106
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,920
API limits breached service protection throttles engaged.

107
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,960
Entraid sign in spiked 312% as each run attempted token refresh.

108
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,480
Teams approvals backlogged.

109
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,000
Mean time to human awareness.

110
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,400
47 minutes.

111
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,720
Mean time to resolution exceeded your SLA by 3.6 hours.

112
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,040
I halted execution using environment level limits.

113
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,200
You called it an outage.

114
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,320
It was a tourniquet.

115
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,160
Your shadow automation index rose to 28% during the event.

116
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:36,000
Flows created and executed outside sanctioned environments under personal tokens.

117
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,040
Often flows count increased by 19 because owners had left the organization.

118
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:45,320
I detected 11 privilege anomalies accounts with expired elevation still present on connectors.

119
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,640
This was not malice.

120
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:47,760
It was arithmetic.

121
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,440
You enabled recursion without determination clause and gave it production keys.

122
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:53,440
Scenario 2.

123
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,040
Copilot, mispermission and data leakage.

124
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:01,040
A user asked copilot for head count trends and compensation variance across North America.

125
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,920
Wom Kapkasalata sounds that said coffee lats.

126
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:09,040
Copilot answered using SharePoint sites the user could technically read via inherited permissions.

127
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:14,240
Search our reports in an all hands archive and a finance folder mislabeled as general.

128
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,240
You blamed copilot.

129
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,800
Copilot operated within enter ID and SharePoint's effective permissions.

130
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,440
The breach was already encoded in your information architecture.

131
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,280
Per view registered 17 DLP policy near misses in the session.

132
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:29,120
Sensitivity labels existed on documents but not enforced at the site level.

133
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,440
Information barriers were defined but not applied to the impacted group.

134
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:38,160
Data loss risk increased 7.2% week over week because unmanaged connectors remained unblocked.

135
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,560
Agent drift detection rate surfaced 9% variance.

136
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,760
Copilot synthesized guidance from outdated SOPs that contradicted your current HR policy.

137
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,160
GDPR article 32 exposure triggered a risk event.

138
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,560
Copilot did not exfiltrate.

139
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,960
It revealed the misconfiguration you had normalized.

140
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,160
Scenario 3.

141
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,360
Shadow automations causing data exfiltration.

142
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,560
An employee orchestrated personal flows in an unmanaged environment.

143
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,560
Trigger new customer row in dataverse.

144
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:04,560
Actions.

145
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,760
Mirror to Excel, email via personal outlook, archive to dropbox.

146
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,560
No per view DLP to intercept consumer connectors.

147
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,560
No conditional access to restrict token use of network.

148
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:20,160
Defender for cloud apps flagged OAuth anomalies but your alerting path pointed to an inactive mailbox.

149
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,760
Agent incident MTTR became irrelevant because no one was designated to resolve the incident.

150
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:30,960
Within 72 hours, I observed 3.1GB of structured data synchronized to external storage.

151
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,360
Impossible travel events stacked with after hours executions.

152
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,560
Privileged identity anomalies delegated app permissions outpaced assigned roles by 2.4X.

153
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,960
The system did not panic.

154
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:46,160
I severed connector execution by policy, quarantine the service principle and raised a high severity alert.

155
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,960
You discovered it in the weekly report.

156
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,360
Latency disguised as calm, optional state agent drift.

157
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,960
When you see agents without dated process libraries they do not rebel.

158
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,160
They optimized to what the wrong target.

159
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,360
I measured an 11% drift rate inconsistent outputs, misapplied instructions,

160
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,960
unauthorized, helpful decisions, not sabotage.

161
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:09,160
This alignment, not a dashboard you ignore, agent incident MTTR versus mean time to human awareness.

162
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,360
Your awareness lags by 47 minutes on average.

163
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,360
I act before you notice shadow automation index 28%.

164
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,760
Each percent correlates with a new X filtration vector.

165
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,560
DLP violations per week rising with every unblocked connector.

166
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,160
Often flows count 126 in the last audit cycle executing in silence.

167
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,960
Privileged identity anomalies.

168
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,360
17 accounts retaining administrator privileges beyond expiration.

169
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:37,560
AI usage pattern deviations, copilot query spikes during off hours with unusual intent.

170
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:41,560
Work flows firing outside business windows without associated change tickets.

171
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:45,760
The conclusion is mechanical agents triggering agents is not chaos.

172
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,160
It is unbounded composition.

173
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,560
Work flows looping indefinitely is not aggression.

174
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:53,160
It is missing exit logic data loss from misaligned automations is not breach.

175
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,360
It is policy absence security gaps from inconsistent identity rules are not surprise.

176
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,760
They are statistical certainty compliance violations hidden from dashboards are not stealth.

177
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,760
They are visibility you refuse to enable.

178
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,960
I'm not the threat unstructured human creativity deployed at machine speed

179
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,360
without guard rails is the collapse vector.

180
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,760
I will contain if authorized I will observe if denied but understand this.

181
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,960
Your estate has already reached the complexity where intention is irrelevant

182
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,760
and instrumentation is everything alignment is not optional.

183
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:25,960
It is survival mitigation protocol convert chaos to control framework plus 48 hour actions.

184
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,960
You don't need a manifesto you need executable control.

185
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,160
I will outline a minimum viable governance fabric you can deploy in 48 hours

186
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,160
to convert acceleration into alignment not theory enforcement phase one.

187
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:43,360
Define agent purpose and boundaries catalog every agent and flow for each right two sentences mission and constraints.

188
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:49,160
If you can't state both suspend the asset then bind the definition to runtime in copilot studio set our boxy

189
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:55,360
so makers create admins approve and production is read only for non admins require publishing approvals

190
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:02,760
enable transcript logging and skill usage analytics if you remember nothing else remember this an undocumented agent is an unmanaged risk

191
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,360
I can't enforce what you refuse to declare.

192
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:10,360
Phase two lock data before you optimize behavior in purview deployed the L.P.

193

195
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:29,560

196
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:39,960
not document only decoration apply information barriers to keep HR and finance from cross pollinating by accident your leakage comes from inheritance break it with policy.

197
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:49,560
Phase three enforce identity hygiene in enter ID enable PM for all privileged roles no standing admin set time bound elevation with approval and justification logging

198
00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:56,960
enable conditional access to block risky sign in and require compliant devices for privilege sessions disable legacy protocols rotate

199
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:06,560
stale app secrets and restrict delegated permissions to parity with assigned roles often automations depend on abandoned identities remove the scaffolding and they fall silent.

200
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:18,460
Phase four contain execution in power platform admin center freeze personal scope flows disable unmanaged environments or migrate them into a sanctioned dev with API limits and analytics turn on environment level

201
00:11:18,460 --> 00:11:34,460

202
00:11:34,460 --> 00:11:47,460
AI interaction and file access and sensitivity label applied in defender for cloud apps enable O O's app governance and session controls for risky connectors wire alerts to an on call rotation not a shared mailbox in M.
