Rubrik, Inc., a US-based cybersecurity firm, has launched Rubrik Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) for Microsoft 365 Copilot. This new offering aims to enhance visibility and control over sensitive data, minimize exposure risks, and enable organizations to swiftly and securely adopt Copilot. The AI-powered assistant leverages an organization’s business content to generate relevant and contextual responses, enhancing productivity while maintaining security.
“The announcement comes at a crucial time as many organizations are preparing to embrace AI tools and adopt Microsoft 365 Co-pilot in a big way. The biggest hurdle that’s slowing down organizations is the lack of tools and platforms that can identify and control access to sensitive data” said Abhilash Purushothaman, Vice President and General Manager, Rubrik (Asia).
“With the growing volume of Microsoft 365 customers in India, managing and safeguarding sensitive information has become increasingly complex. Rubrik aims to mitigate these risks, strengthen resilience for organizations and enable accelerated adoption of transformational AI tools like M365 Copilot; without worrying about potential sensitive data exposure and associated regulatory fallouts that are slowing down the AI adoption,” Abhilash Purushothaman added.
“Organizations are facing significant pressure when it comes to improving the security of their rapidly growing data,” said Mike Tornicasa, Chief Business Officer at Rubrik. “Rubrik DSPM for Microsoft 365 Copilot helps safeguard those business-critical assets, allowing organizations 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 is committed to enabling secure and intelligent productivity tools for our customers,” said Tony Surma, CTO, Americas Partners at Microsoft. “The introduction of Rubrik Data Security Posture Management for Microsoft 365 Copilot aligns with our mission by providing robust data visibility and control, enabling organizations to confidently leverage AI-driven capabilities while ensuring their sensitive data remains secure.”
Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI-powered assistant that generates answers anchored in an organization’s business content to deliver highly relevant and contextual responses. To ensure Copilot surfaces only data that 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 unauthorized 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 organizations 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 minimize privacy and governance risks, readying your environment for a Copilot rollout with an enhanced security posture.
● Identify high-risk access permissions: Detect sensitive files with public or organization-wide access so you can remediate excessive permissions and prevent the exposure of sensitive data to unauthorized users when leveraging Copilot.
● Ensure accurate data labeling: Identify and remediate missing or inaccurate data sensitivity labels to help prevent unauthorized user access to sensitive data when using Copilot.
