For security and IT teams responsible for Copilot, agents, and AI applications.
We model the threats AI opens up, set data boundaries in Microsoft Purview, limit what each agent can do, and turn on detection. Copilot, agents, and AI apps then run with the controls your other systems already have.
What is prompt injection, and should we worry about it?
Prompt injection is text, in a message, document, or web page, that tries to make an AI system ignore its instructions or leak data. It matters most for agents that read outside content or take actions, so we test for it and put approvals and limits on what agents can do.
Does Microsoft Defender cover AI workloads?
Yes, through Defender for Cloud. AI security posture management, part of the Defender CSPM plan, finds AI workloads and risky configurations across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. Threat protection for AI services raises alerts on attacks such as jailbreaks and data leakage as they happen. We turn both on, tune them, and connect them to your incident process.
How do we stop sensitive data from leaking through AI answers?
Set data boundaries before the AI goes live. That means Purview classification and sensitivity labels, data loss prevention in AI workflows and Copilot Studio agents, permission-aware retrieval, and Purview Data Security Posture Management to spot risky AI interactions. For Microsoft 365 Copilot alone, the tenant check before rollout is the Copilot Readiness Assessment.
We run adversarial testing proportional to the risk tier: prompt injection, jailbreaks, data exfiltration, and tool misuse. Formal red-team exercises and independent audit opinions are scoped separately when you need them.
How long does AI security take?
Threat modeling and risk discovery comes first, with its estimated length listed above. Controls then roll out by risk tier, highest-risk workloads first.
What drives the effort in AI security work?
How many AI workloads and agents are in scope, how many of them take actions, and what they can reach count most. The security tools you already run, and how much adversarial testing the risk tiers call for, decide the rest.
Talk to us about AI Security for Copilot and Agents
It starts with a 60-minute call. If we need more to scope it, a short questionnaire follows. Then a written proposal and statement of work. Once you approve, we begin with the Assess phase.
