Secure and Govern Microsoft 365 Copilot: Building a Strong Foundation for AI Readiness
Introduction: The AI Acceleration Gap
Generative AI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot promise unprecedented enterprise productivity. However, this rapid innovation introduces a critical operational acceleration gap: AI doesn't create entirely new security risks; it simply executes your existing vulnerabilities at machine speed.
A sensitive, legacy document that once sat buried in an over-permissioned SharePoint folder can now be instantly surfaced, cross-referenced, and summarized by a casual, low-privilege employee prompt.
Safely scaling generative AI requires shifting from reactive oversight to proactive governance.
