Australian universities are among the most targeted sectors in the country for cyberattacks, and most of the risk sits in places IT leaders don't see until something breaks.

Microsoft 365 and Entra ID are central to how universities operate, but Microsoft secures its infrastructure. Your data, your configurations, and the security controls wrapped around both sit in a different column of the shared responsibility model. That column is yours. Ransomware, accidental deletion, oversharing, and compliance failures all live there.

 Closing that gap takes more than a backup job running in the background. It takes a resilience posture built around three things: protecting your M365 and Entra ID estate before something goes wrong, detecting threats and anomalies the moment they emerge, and when things go wrong, recovering with options (surgical item-level restore, mass recovery, or express rollback) and the ability to see exactly what changed before you decide.

 This session walks through how Veeam Data Cloud and Intelligent ResOps for M365 give higher education the visibility and control to do all three: immutable, sovereignty-aligned backups in Australian datacentres, real-time threat and anomaly detection across your backup estate, visibility into Microsoft Copilot and AI agent activity including what they're accessing and what they can reach, and granular recovery options that get institutions back to a known-good state fast.

 You'll leave with a practical framework for closing the shared responsibility gap and a clear picture of what modern resilience looks like in a university environment.
