Capabilities Empower Enterprises to Safely
Embrace AI Productivity Surge
TEL
AVIV-YAFO, Israel,
May 2,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Zenity, the leader in security
governance for business application and AI development, today
announced it can now secure the enterprise use of Copilot for
Microsoft 365. Zenity is the first company to introduce a dedicated
AI Security Posture Management solution for securing and governing
the use of Enterprise AI Copilots and enables customers to securely
leverage the full power of AI throughout the enterprise for all
business users.
According to Microsoft, 70% of users say using Copilot for
Microsoft 365 makes them more productive. Whether it's automating
repetitive tasks, summarizing meeting notes, or building
applications with text prompts, Copilot provides invaluable
productivity gains. However, Copilot for Microsoft 365 is unable to
retrieve real-time information from third-party services, nor do
business workflows typically run exclusively on M365 apps and data
formats, necessitating the use of plugins.
While using and interacting with Copilot for Microsoft 365,
business users of all technical backgrounds can integrate existing
– and develop their own – plugins to add custom functionality to
connect Copilot to various systems and data. However, this
interconnectivity can exponentially increase the risks of data
leakage due to:
- DLP gaps that cannot identify business context for Copilot use,
causing least privilege violations.
- Plugins being susceptible to prompt injection attacks.
- Data access and use that is beyond the scope of design; even if
unbeknownst to the business users building or interacting with
it.
- Plugins being difficult to design, including complicated naming
conventions that can cause additional operational challenges.
Adding to the market-leading security governance platform that
unleashes business productivity across the enterprise, Zenity now
provides customers with the ability to fully leverage enterprise
copilots throughout the business and to all users. With this
groundbreaking approach to AI security, security leaders benefit
from:
- Increased visibility: Zenity enables customers to
see the list of plugins that are used across the enterprise use of
Copilot for Microsoft 365. Deep insights from Zenity also show who
is interacting with the plugins and for what business reasons.
- Risk assessment: Determine which plugins and
Copilot use cases contain excessive permissions, have access to
sensitive data, and expose secrets. Zenity also assesses risk for
custom plugins that are built and downloaded from the Microsoft
store, which can be risky and untested.
- Enhanced security: Users gain an extra layer of
security guardrails via automated playbooks and mitigation actions
to ensure that as business users are customizing and integrating
plugins, that it is done securely.
Ben Kliger, CEO, Zenity,
said: "Customers want to extend the use of Generative AI
Copilots to help push their businesses forward, but they need a way
to do this safely and securely. With our enhanced capabilities,
Zenity enables our users to unearth security vulnerabilities and
risks like third-party access, embedded credentials and risky
dependencies. CIOs and CISOs can be confident as they leverage the
value of copilots to enhance productivity and streamline operations
without creating security headaches."
