Plan and prepare for Power Pages in 2025 release wave 2

Overview

As part of the Microsoft Power Platform suite, Power Pages helps businesses easily create secure, data-driven business portals. See how Power Pages speeds up business portal development, boosts security, and transforms customer experiences in the age of AI.

Power Pages, a component of the Microsoft Power Platform, offers a range of AI-powered features that enhance the creation and management of secure, data-driven business portals. These advancements streamline development processes, improve user interactions, and strengthen security.

• Security and compliance agent for admins: Protect your Power Pages websites by using the security and compliance agent to monitor and mitigate security threats such as phishing and DDoS attacks. This agent also detects and flags content violations, including spam, offensive content, and trademark infringements.
• Security agent: Use the security agent during website authoring to configure complex roles and permissions that improve your website's security.
• Convergence of Power Pages user authorization with Dataverse: Simplify role-based access control by converging web roles with Dataverse security roles and site users with system users. You don't need extra user management.
• Code security scan: Improve your website security and lower risks by using the built-in code security scan to find and fix vulnerabilities during site development.
• Streamlining site ALM: Manage site deployments and streamline application lifecycle management (ALM) processes for Power Pages sites by using new Delete and Create commands in the Power Platform command line interface (CLI).
