Achieving Data Security in MS Copilot Deployments
6:30pm - 9:00pm GMT | London, UK
Event Overview
Collaboration tools can create extreme tension between productivity and security, and appropriate controls are needed to reduce data security risks.
This applies to all AIs, but unlike ChatGPT and other AI tools, Copilot has access to everything you’ve ever worked on in 365. It’s an AI assistant that lives inside each of your Microsoft 365 apps, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Outlook, and so on. Copilot can instantly search and compile data from across your documents, presentations, email, calendar, notes, and contacts.
While that can be great for productivity, reducing drudgery so staff can focus on creative problem-solving, it does mean Copilot can access all the sensitive data that a user can access, which is often far beyond least privilege.
Copilot also rapidly generates entirely new sensitive data that must be protected. This roundtable will focus specifically on data security and how your team can ensure a safe Copilot rollout.
Among the discussion topics:
- How to enforce least privilege permissions on all organizational data surfaced by AI using individual user permissions.
- Ensuring correct labelling of Copilot-generated content.
- Understanding why humans must take responsibility for reviewing AI-generated content.
- Approaches to AI governance
