Exploring and balancing the pitfalls of Microsoft Explorer
Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 is a groundbreaking AI tool designed to enhance productivity and creativity within enterprise settings.
However, its implementation poses several challenges and risks that demand careful consideration by organizations.
Data Leakage and Unauthorized Access: Copilot’s access to sensitive information is contingent upon user permissions within the organization. However, incorrect access controls may lead to data leakage, wherein Copilot inadvertently accesses and exposes sensitive data without proper authorization. For instance, if a user has access to a spreadsheet containing salary information, Copilot may inadvertently include this sensitive data in its outputs, potentially violating privacy regulations.
EU Commission faces scrutiny over Microsoft 365 data breach: EDPS imposes corrective measures
An inquiry into the European Union’s utilization of Microsoft 365 has concluded that the Commission violated the bloc’s data protection regulations in its adoption of the cloud-based productivity software. The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) announced its findings through a press release, stating that the Commission breached “several crucial data protection rules while employing Microsoft 365”. Following the investigation, the EDPS determined that the European Commission (Commission) had indeed contravened several key data protection regulations in its usage of Microsoft 365. As a result, the EDPS has mandated corrective actions to be implemented by the Commission.
