Today, hreats are multiplying, ranging from malware attacks to advanced phishing attempts. At the same time, Artificial Intelligence<\/a> (AI) has become a major driver of innovation and operational efficiency. Organizations are integrating AI into their processes to boost productivity and stay competitive in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result, modern employees see AI as a powerful tool to enhance business operations, automate repetitive tasks, and develop innovative applications. However, this widespread adoption of AI also raises security challenges. Companies must now ensure their systems are protected against malicious attacks and intrusions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Information Security Officers (CISOs) and IT administrators play a key role in this new reality. They are tasked with protecting sensitive company data from cyber threats while enabling the effective and secure use of AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CISOs must strike a balance between adopting new technologies, like AI, and ensuring these innovations do not expose the company to unnecessary risks. They need to evaluate every new application or system, particularly AI-based ones, to ensure they comply with the company\u2019s security policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AI introduces new complexities to access management, requiring CISOs to ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive data and AI functionalities. Implementing granular access controls and multi-factor authentication (MFA) is essential to prevent unauthorized access and maintain security integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n IT administrators must implement threat detection solutions that can swiftly identify suspicious activities and respond in real time. By integrating AI into security tools, organizations can significantly improve their ability to detect anomalies and respond to incidents more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many businesses must comply with strict data protection regulations, such as the GDPR in Europe. CISOs must ensure that AI solutions and the data they process comply with these regulations, as non-compliance can lead to hefty fines and damage to the company\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Microsoft has announced several new security features for Power Platform:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Security Hub is an integrated feature within the Power Platform admin center, designed to assist IT administrators and security officers in effectively managing, monitoring, and enhancing the security of their Power Platform environment. This centralized tool streamlines security management and offers a range of functions and benefits, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These data security and management tools are designed to help businesses protect and manage sensitive information effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They are tags that can be applied to documents, emails, databases, and other data types to indicate their sensitivity level and define the associated security rules. Here are some of their features and benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Microsoft Purview Data Map is a data management tool that enables businesses to map, understand, and manage their data. It works in conjunction with Sensitivity Labels to provide complete visibility and control over sensitive data. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, if your business handles sensitive financial information, you can use sensitivity labels to mark that data as \u201cHighly Confidential.\u201d Then, Microsoft Purview Data Map will discover and map all instances of this data across your environment, automatically applying labels and ensuring that only authorized individuals can access it. This allows you to effectively protect sensitive data, comply with regulations, and minimize risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Power Platform offers advanced solutions to restrict data access while ensuring secure usage. For example, virtual network support allows Power Platform resources to connect to Azure services via private networks, preventing data exposure on the public network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This feature enables businesses to isolate sensitive data and protect it from unauthorized access. Secure connections to Azure services, such as Azure SQL Database and Azure Key Vault, are made easier, and an IP firewall can restrict Dataverse data access only to authorized IP addresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Role of CISOs and IT Administrators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
