In today’s fast-paced, AI-driven landscape, Microsoft Copilot is making waves as the most rapidly adopted AI application across organizations worldwide. With Microsoft’s commitment to becoming a “Copilot Company,” this powerful tool is transforming how enterprises operate and driving major productivity gains for Office 365 (O365) users. However, as AI integrates deeper into daily business operations, the need for robust data security has become more essential than ever. At Skyhigh Security, we’re excited to announce expanded capabilities within our SSE platform to help safeguard Copilot users from data loss, unauthorized access, and potential security threats.
Why Microsoft Copilot is Reshaping the AI Landscape
Enterprises have recognized Copilot’s unique ability to streamline workflows and enhance efficiency, leveraging AI in ways that were once unimaginable. As Microsoft continues to invest in Copilot, embedding it deeper within Office apps and beyond, we can anticipate that its influence and usage will only continue to grow.
Understanding the Growing Need for Copilot Security
While Copilot is unlocking a new era of productivity, its ability to access and process vast amounts of data presents new security and compliance challenges. AI-driven applications need robust security to ensure sensitive data is protected at every level. Businesses are increasingly seeking ways to maintain control over their data, prevent leaks, and protect their users as they adopt this transformative technology. Here’s where Skyhigh Security steps in, delivering a security solution purpose-built for the AI age.
Skyhigh Security’s Comprehensive Solution for Copilot
Skyhigh Security has a long-standing relationship with Microsoft, particularly within O365 environments. As an industry leader in cloud-native data security, we already secure countless O365 users across organizations of all sizes. Leveraging our experience with O365 data to apply protective measures seamlessly in the Copilot environment was a natural next step. Our expanded Copilot protection builds on our core capabilities and incorporates unique functionalities to meet the specific needs of Copilot users.
Here’s a look at our key capabilities for securing Microsoft Copilot.
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Across Copilot Interactions: Applying DLP policies in near real-time to every interaction, scanning user prompts, Copilot-generated responses, and even uploaded files for sensitive data.
- DLP on Data at Rest: On-demand scans on files uploaded or created in the past provide a flexible and efficient way to detect compliance violations and exfiltration attempts without impacting inline traffic performance.
- Sensitive Data Controls: Providing threat investigation capabilities so administrators can gain visibility into high-risk activities within Copilot, identifying and assessing potentially concerning user actions.
- Behavioral Analytics on Copilot: Analyzing Copilot activity through User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) to detect unusual patterns and prevent unauthorized data access or distribution.
- Comprehensive Threat Investigation: Provides deep visibility into user actions, enabling detection and analysis of risky behavior within Copilot.
Selected Skyhigh capabilities to secure Copilot are now available with additional features will be rolled out in the coming months.
