insider risk

About this tag
Insider risk in the context of Microsoft 365 and generative AI is a growing concern for enterprise security teams. Discussions on WindowsForum cover how tools like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, and Google Gemini introduce new insider threat vectors, as AI agents can access, synthesize, and share sensitive enterprise data. Topics include monitoring AI workplace conversations, detecting anomalous agent behavior, and governing Copilot usage to prevent data exposure. Microsoft Purview and third-party solutions like Exabeam and LightBeam are highlighted for providing governance, audit logging, and real-time protection against insider risks. The tag also touches on compliance gaps, such as missing Copilot audit logs, and the need for updated security frameworks to address AI-driven insider threats.
