100% of the organizations that we've deployed #M365Copilot with have asked a version of ''How can we make sure CEO pay doesn't pop up on someone's Copilot results?''   This is bared out as leakage of sensitive data is a top concern for 63% of security leaders when adopting AI. At Ignite, #Microsoft announced helpful updates and outlined how to secure and govern data in AI applications like #Microsoft365Copilot. Really enjoyed the 'Secure and govern data in Microsoft 365 Copilot and beyond' breakout from Ignite, and wanted to share some key resources: 🚀 Get AI-Ready with Microsoft 365 Admin training: training content to support admins in ensuring that Microsoft 365 tenants are set up and configured for AI https://lnkd.in/edYHj5b7 🚀 Secure & Govern AI whitepaper: sets context for key concerns when implementing AI and how to address them https://lnkd.in/esMk5Y_w   At Transparity, we support organizations in preparing for AI functionality.

Recently, the team at WorkPoint created an entire blog series on all things AI, and there's one of them I'd really like to highlight.   👉 How WorkPoint enables Microsoft 365 Copilot - and help you keep your data secured.   I've touched upon what it means to "be AI-ready" before, but I don't necessarily think people are able to grasp just how business-critical it is to govern your data and be smart when it comes to using AI. It might not be straightforward, but it is indeed very important.   You see, once AI becomes embedded in your digital tools, you'll need security protocols in place to mitigate potential risk. Your AI assistant will not ask you for permission to go through certain data every time you make a prompt - if you haven't established any kind of governance framework or access rules, it will just go through all of it.   AI and Copilot should not be something to be afraid of, especially if you know how to use it safely. Then it can actually create a lot of value both for organizations and individual users. 🌱   And that's where WorkPoint 365 comes in. As a WorkPoint customer, you can rest assured that your data is safely stored in your own Microsoft 365 tenant, and with WorkPoint 365, you'll get an added layer of visibility, governance, and security. 🤖   You can read exactly how, right here: https://lnkd.in/dEYVth_V   Are you on top of your security protocols when using AI yet? 💭   #AI #GenAI #workpoint365 #datasecurity #copilot #governance
