Security News > 2023 > October > Generative AI Security: Preventing Microsoft Copilot Data Exposure
In this post I'm going to focus specifically on data security and how your team can ensure a safe Copilot rollout.
Microsoft relies heavily on sensitivity labels to enforce DLP policies, apply encryption, and broadly prevent data leaks.
Microsoft paints a rosy picture of labeling and blocking as the ultimate safety net for your data.
The efficacy of label-based data protection will surely degrade when we have AI generating orders of magnitude more data requiring accurate and auto-updating labels.
It's critical to have a sense of your data security posture before your Copilot rollout.
Varonis protects thousands of Microsoft 365 customers with our Data Security Platform, which provides a real-time view of risk and the ability to automatically enforce least privilege.
