Copilot for M365 can open exciting new capabilities but it can also expose new vulnerabilities
Copilot for M365 can help your business to harness the power of AI in day-to-day work. | |
But the breadth of this technology can expose hidden vulnerabilities in your existing security and compliance set up. |
For example…
If an employee asked Copilot for a piece of information that was restricted to them on a permissions level (such as salary information), it might refuse. | |
However, Copilot may inadvertently return this information by searching for and returning other unsecured files that contain this information. | |
To use Copilot securely means making sure all your security settings are in order across users, devices, networks, files, applications, and infrastructure. |
Organizations need a way to use the sophisticated security features of Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 has sophisticated security features to help organizations use Copilot securely. | |
But with over 2,500 different security settings, how do you verify that your settings meet the required standard for safe integration of Copilot? | |
And how do you maintain these settings over time as regulation changes, without retaining a large expert security team? |
