The new tools and guide released by Microsoft are designed to help customers mitigate these security issues and manage the oversharing of information. The company is also assisting customers in enhancing their central governance of identities and permissions. However, some customers have already deployed Copilot, only to discover its potential for enabling employees to access sensitive information.
Key takeaways:
- Microsoft has released new tools and guidelines to address security issues with its AI assistant, Copilot, which had been oversharing sensitive company information.
- Some corporate customers had delayed deploying Copilot due to these security and oversharing concerns.
- The updates are designed to help customers identify and mitigate oversharing and governance concerns, and enhance their central governance of identities and permissions.
- Copilot works by browsing and indexing all of a company's internal information, which led to the oversharing issue when it enabled employees to access sensitive documents such as CEO emails and HR documents.
