The rise of generative AI applications in organizations introduces new cyber risks, particularly around data exposure, misuse, and leakage. These tools often interact with sensitive information, and without proper controls, they can inadvertently share or store confidential data. As AI models learn from user inputs, there's a risk of embedding proprietary or regulated data into outputs or external systems. This makes data protection not just a compliance requirement but a strategic imperative to safeguard intellectual property, customer trust, and regulatory standing. Microsoft Purview plays a crucial role in this landscape by offering comprehensive data governance and protection capabilities. It helps organizations classify, label, and monitor sensitive data across environments—including AI-powered apps—ensuring that usage aligns with internal policies and external regulations. With Purview, businesses can confidently embrace AI while maintaining control over their most valuable asset: their data.
