Rubrik unveils data security posture management for Microsoft 365 Copilot

As organisations and their volume of Microsoft 365 data grow, protecting sensitive data and managing access has become even more important. The need for strong security and governance practices is only intensified as more organisations leverage powerful AI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot. Rubrik announces Rubrik Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) for Microsoft 365 Copilot to provide greater visibility and control of sensitive data, reduce the risk of exposure, and empower organisations to quickly and securely adopt Copilot.

”Organisations are facing significant pressure when it comes to improving security of their rapidly growing data,” said Mike Tornincasa, Chief Business Officer at Rubrik. “Rubrik DSPM for Microsoft 365 Copilot helps safeguard those business-critical assets, allowing organisations to leverage the power of innovative tools like Copilot while maintaining a strong data security posture and ensuring cyber recovery–all within a comprehensive cyber resilience platform.”

Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI-powered assistant that generates answers anchored in an organisation’s business content to deliver highly relevant and contextual responses. To ensure Copilot surfaces only data which users have permissions to view, it follows the same data access controls already in place in Microsoft 365. Misconfigurations in these controls could lead to the exposure of sensitive data to unauthorised users.

To help mitigate this risk, Rubrik DSPM for Microsoft 365 Copilot is designed to provide the data visibility and control needed to ensure sensitive data is correctly classified, labeled, and segmented – and has the right access permissions. This enables organisations to leverage the power of Copilot while securing sensitive data from the risk of exposure.

Key Benefits of Rubrik DSPM for Microsoft 365 Copilot:

• Prepare your Microsoft 365 environment for secure Copilot adoption: Gain visibility and control of your Microsoft 365 data to help minimise privacy and governance risks, readying your environment for a Copilot rollout with an enhanced security posture.
