AI adoption is opening new opportunities for small and medium-sized business (SMB) customers, but security and governance have to come first. Join Microsoft at IT Nation Connect ANZ 2026 to learn how to position security as the foundation for AI readiness using Microsoft 365 Business Premium, Microsoft Defender, and Microsoft Purview, so you can strengthen customer protection, increase security suite attach, and grow recurring security services revenue.

Attend the featured Microsoft-sponsored session, “From Legacy Managed Service to Secure AI Service with Microsoft,” on Thursday, August 27, from 1:00–1:45 PM, at the Hilton Sydney. In this session, we’ll discuss how agentic AI is changing the way organizations work through autonomous agents that plan, decide, and act across business systems.

Explore emerging challenges such as agent sprawl, permission misuse, and unintended actions, and learn practical approaches to establish governance, trust, and control for secure AI adoption.
