As Microsoft 365 Copilot accelerates productivity, it also introduces new risks around data access, identity misuse, and compliance exposure. Applying a Zero Trust framework ensures every Copilot interaction is verified, governed, and protected — securing both users and data. In this session we look at:

- identity and Access Control: Integrate Entra ID Conditional Access and MFA to validate every user and device accessing Copilot prompts and outputs.
- Data Classification and Sensitivity Labels: Apply Microsoft Purview classification to control what data Copilot can process, ensuring policy-based responses.
- Continuous Monitoring and Threat Detection: Utilize Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps and Insider Risk Management to track anomalies in Copilot usage.
- Compliance-Aware AI Guardrails: Deploy Microsoft 365 Copilot governance settings to enforce regulatory alignment (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.) while guiding users within safe AI boundaries.

Attendees will leave with the ability to secure and safeguard critical AI workloads enabled in Microsoft 365.
