Microsoft Copilot Data Security Solution
Effortlessly secure your Microsoft Copilot data before, during and after deployment. Concentric AI can autonomously analyze Copilot output to discover sensitive data and label it accordingly so only authorized personnel get access.
The Challenge
When you deploy Copilot, you’re giving it the keys to your data kingdom which opens up a considerable attack surface.
Plus, Copilot can do more than fetch data. It can create new sensitive data quickly and in large quantities.
Several challenges arise:
Copilot will leverage all the data that an employee has access to, so most employees’ permissions to sensitive data are far greater than what they need
Copilot results do not inherit the security labels from the source files, which represents a serious risk for source files containing sensitive data
Employees now must double-check Copilot’s work and ensure data is properly classified and assessed for risk
Benefits Overview
Enhance your data security with Semantic Intelligence
Copilot data discovery and classification
Concentric AI can analyze Copilot output to discover sensitive information – from financial data to PII/PCI/PHI — and label the data accordingly to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to it.
Identify data risk
Once Copilot data has been identified and classified, Concentric AI can autonomously identify risk from inappropriate permissioning, risky sharing, unauthorized access, wrong location etc.
Copilot Data Discovery and Classification
Using advanced machine learning algorithms, Concentric AI analyzes Copilot-generated content to identify various types of sensitive data, such as financial information, personally identifiable information (PII), intellectual property, financial information, legal agreements, human resources files, sales strategies, partnership plans, payment card information (PCI), and protected health information (PHI). Our accurate data classification ensures that sensitive information is labeled accordingly to maintain data integrity and security.
Concentric AI’s data classification also integrates seamlessly with your existing data infrastructure, leveraging deep learning models to continuously update and refine its understanding of sensitive data. As new data is generated by Copilot, it is immediately discovered and classified to reduce the risk of data exposure — meaning only authorized employees have access to critical information.
Identify Data Risk
Once data has been identified and classified, Concentric AI autonomously identifies potential risks associated with inappropriate permissions, risky sharing, unauthorized access, and improper data storage locations. Concentric AI continuously monitors your data environment to detect anomalies and deviations from established security protocols.
For example, what if an employee asks Copilot to “identify any documents that contain sensitive information”? If sensitive data is being accessed by unauthorized users or shared through insecure channels, Concentric AI will flag these activities as potential risks. This level of vigilance is critical for maintaining a secure data environment, especially in organizations where data is constantly being accessed and modified. By identifying risks in real time, Concentric AI empowers organizations to mitigate potential security threats before they cause significant harm.
Remediate Risk
Concentric AI employs a wide range of automated remediation actions, including changing data entitlements, adjusting access controls, and preventing data from being shared inappropriately. By automating these processes, Concentric AI reduces the burden on IT and security teams and allows them to focus on more strategic tasks.
Concentric AI’s remediation capabilities are designed to be both proactive and adaptive. For example, if any unauthorized access to sensitive data from Copilot is detected, our solution can automatically adjust access permissions to block access and notify security personnel of the breach. If sensitive data is found in an insecure location, Concentric AI can move the data to a more secure repository and update the relevant access controls. Our comprehensive approach also helps organizations maintain compliance with regulatory requirements and internal security policies.
