Unified data security solution
Microsoft Security offers a comprehensive suite of solutions to enable the secure and responsible adoption of AI. The portfolio of products, including Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Entra, Purview, and Intune, work together to help secure data and interactions in AI applications, whether they're Copilot for Microsoft 365 or non-Microsoft AI applications.
With the breadth of capabilities across the Microsoft Security portfolio, your teams can:
- Prepare your data and user identities.
- Discover potential risks associated with AI usage, such as sensitive data leaks and users accessing high-risk applications.
- Protect the AI applications in use and the sensitive data being reasoned over or generated by them, including the prompts and responses.
- Govern the use of AI by retaining and logging interactions, detecting any regulatory or organizational policy violations, and investigating incidents once they arise.
- Manage AI application usage and data access.
Prepare by creating users and groups
Microsoft Entra helps ensure that users have the proper permissions to follow the principle of least privilege. Compromised accounts can cause catastrophic damage. Learn to create Microsoft Entra ID user and groups.
Discover AI model and data threats
Microsoft Defender for Cloud safeguards AI applications by identifying and responding to threats in real time, including risks like data leakage, data poisoning, jailbreak, and credential theft. It integrates with Defender XDR to centralize AI workload alerts. Security teams can correlate these alerts and incidents to understand the full scope of attacks on generative AI applications.

Protect data, access, and device protection
Microsoft Security has multiple solutions available to help protect your data. Microsoft Entra, Intune, and Defender each play a vital role in safeguarding AI applications. By implementing real-time access control policies, managing devices, and ensuring threat protection, organizations can create a comprehensive security strategy that addresses the unique challenges posed by AI technologies.
- Safeguard access: Microsoft Entra helps safeguard AI apps in real-time by discovering overprivileged identities, enabling access controls, and simplifying access monitoring.
- Protect data and devices: Microsoft Intune helps secure devices by managing devices, establishing conditional access, and wiping compromised devices remotely.
- Posture management: Microsoft Defender provides threat protection through assessing your AI security posture, monitoring your AI apps for malicious activity, and integrating with Defender for Cloud and XDR.
Protect AI content
Education organizations must ensure students aren't exposed to inappropriate content or inputting harmful requests to AI models. They also need accurate and reliable content.
Safeguarding online content is essential for moderating user-generated and AI-generated material. You can use Azure AI Content Safety to detect harmful content in text and images, including hate speech, sexual content, self-harm, or violence.
App and data protection
Microsoft Intune enables your organization to safely manage device and app usage for students and staff. This means you can create policies that manage which apps users can access and what data can be shared or copied in those apps. Also, you're able to set policies for both managed and unmanaged devices, meaning that your organizational data doesn't end up being used on someone's personal device.
