More data. More storage. But can you recover it when it matters?

Businesses are storing more data than ever across cloud platforms, email, systems and shared repositories. But storage capacity is only part of the challenge.

The real question is: Can you recover your data when you need it most?

Copilot works within the access users already have across Microsoft 365. This makes the quality of your permissions and information governance a practical part of AI readiness.

Weak access controls may have existed quietly for years, but Copilot can make the consequences easier to encounter by helping users find and work with information more efficiently.

Our latest article explains what organisations should review before a wider rollout, including oversharing, sensitivity labels, Purview DLP, identity protection, and employee adoption. Read the article here. https://ipt.za.com/before-you-switch-on-copilot-check-what-your-users-can-already-see/

Before Microsoft 365 Copilot is introduced, businesses need to understand what employees can already access.

Permissions granted for old projects may still be active. SharePoint sites may include people who no longer need access, while broadly shared files can make sensitive information easier to surface once Copilot enters everyday workflows.

In IPT’s latest article, we explore why a controlled Copilot rollout begins with reviewing permissions, oversharing, identity controls, and data governance.

Your firewall provides one view of risk. Your endpoint tools provide another. Other security services generate their own alerts.

The challenge is bringing those views together so that teams spend less time moving between systems and more time understanding what requires attention.

In IPT’s upcoming webinar, Zander Brewis will discuss the journey towards a more connected security fabric and how greater integration can improve visibility across the wider technology environment.

One Fabric. Fewer Fires.

How to assess whether your business is ready for AI

When business leaders ask where to start with AI, the pressure to act often arrives before the plan. With tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot already in use and employees experimenting with AI, businesses need to ensure they are building on the right foundation.

Charmé van der Westhuizen, New Business Development Manager at IPT, shares why assessing your organisation’s AI readiness is an important first step, helping identify what is already in place, where the gaps are, and what needs to happen before investment grows.

Your systems just went down. The only questions that matter: how much will you lose, and how long until you’re back?

In our latest video, we unpack backup & recovery from a business continuity angle, why overnight backups no longer cut it, how near‑continuous backup and cloud recovery shrink downtime from days to minutes, and why tested plans matter more than tech alone.

Security information often sits across separate dashboards, tools, and teams, making it harder to see what is happening across the environment.

Join IPT’s One Fabric. Fewer Fires. webinar to explore how firewalls, endpoint devices, and related security services can work together to improve visibility and support a more coordinated response.

Presented by Zander Brewis, Technical Alignment Manager at IPT.
