We use Microsoft Copilot for Security in the educational sector to secure students and teachers. We are running a pilot with 20 teachers and 100-150 students. The next step is to scale it up for the rest. We have the educational school agreement, and we utilize Microsoft Copilot for Security to protect sensitive information.
