About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of using AI tools like Microsoft Copilot on data security and authorization.

Data security relies on clarity around authorization controls and assets, but AI tools can risk exposure sensitive information as they are increasingly being integrated into everything we use. In this episode of Security Noise, Geoff is joined by Principal Security Consultant Drew Kirkpatrick as they dive into the use of LLMs such as Microsoft Copilot at organizations and its implications for data security and authorization. They explore the importance of data classification policies and the potential risks associated with using AI tools at work.
