Turn AI vision into transformative impact

The Microsoft AI Tour showcases our commitment to answering the overwhelming call to alleviate AI confusion and organizational inertia. AI holds enormous potential to elevate human efficiency, but it also presents new challenges. It’s easier to rise above these—and realize the great advantage of AI usage—if your security and IT teams are equipped with the right tools and strategies. This includes advancing cybersecurity protections—including global threat intelligence, complete end-to-end protection, security and governance tools, and industry-leading responsible AI—that free organizations to implement AI securely.

Taking place in more than 60 countries, the Microsoft AI Tour will address cybersecurity as it’s critically important for those eager to implement AI. Security concerns about integrating generative AI tools with their existing technologies cause organizations to hesitate in AI adoption. Recognizing this, Microsoft empowers organizations to safely and securely adopt AI at every maturity level.

At the Microsoft AI Tour, we’ll showcase how Microsoft Copilot for Security lets you protect at the speed and scale of AI. The tour stops will include welcoming remarks from a Microsoft senior executive—and Microsoft leaders such as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella and Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Judson Althoff at some event locations.

Attend an AI Tour event near you and build your own schedule from dozens of sessions that cover everything from practical strategies for implementing AI, steps to ensure your AI implementation is driving business value, and security in the era of AI.

Start your Microsoft AI Tour stop early with Microsoft Security

Cybercriminals are becoming more brazen and more sophisticated. It’s up to the collective security community to learn all we can about these criminals, familiarize ourselves with their techniques, and discover new ways to create better defenses against them.

At Microsoft, we’re doing all we can to help our customers stay ahead of bad actors and respond quickly when attacks occur. This includes informing security professionals about emerging risks and ensuring everyone who seeks to protect their organization is acquainted with the latest technologies.

This digital event is a great opportunity for you to listen in as Microsoft cybersecurity experts and technical researchers discuss the current threat landscape, the future of holistic threat intelligence, and share demos of brand-new security, compliance, identity, and privacy technologies already making waves in the industry. Staying informed is the first step to building a strong, resilient security strategy for your organization. We hope you’ll join us.

Extend protection to the outer limits

Comprehensive security starts with end-to-end coverage. Today’s organizations are moving increasingly more data and resources to the cloud while also working to integrate a growing number of unprotected devices into their security ecosystems. And the pace isn’t slowing.

To defend against sophisticated threats that move laterally across systems and platforms, you need a holistic view of your multicloud environment and a way to centrally manage the protection of your devices.

At this digital event, learn how to achieve least-privilege access across your multicloud, enable seamless information protection, identify critical privacy risks, and empower employees to make smart data handling decisions—without impeding productivity. This is an event you won’t want to miss.
