US cloud data management and data security company Rubrik today unveiled Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) for Microsoft 365 Copilot to provide greater visibility and control over sensitive data, reduce the risk of exposure, and enable organizations to adopt Copilot quickly and securely.
Ruberik notes that much of the development of this product took place at its Israeli R&D center, which was established after the acquisition of cybersecurity startup Laminar in August 2023. Since the acquisition, Amit Shaked, co-founder and former CEO of Laminar, has continued , leading Rubrik’s operations in Israel, in addition to being Rubrik’s Vice President of DSPM Strategy, Growth and Monetization.
“Organizations face significant pressure when it comes to improving the security of their rapidly growing data,” said Mike Tornicassa, Chief Business Officer at Rubrik. “Rubrik DSPM for Microsoft 365 Copilot helps protect those business-critical assets, allowing organizations to leverage the power of innovative tools like Copilot while maintaining a strong data security posture and ensuring cyber recovery – all within a comprehensive cyber resilience platform.”
Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI-powered assistant that creates answers anchored in an organization’s business content to deliver highly relevant, contextual responses. To ensure that Copilot only displays data that users have permissions to view, it follows the same data access controls that already exist in Microsoft 365. Misconfigurations in these controls can expose sensitive data to unauthorized users.
To help mitigate these risks, Rubrik DSPM for Microsoft 365 Copilot is designed to provide the data visibility and control needed to ensure sensitive data is properly labeled, categorized, and segmented—and has the correct access permissions. This allows organizations to leverage the power of Copilot while securing sensitive data from exposure.
“AI represents an important leap forward for organizations, but it also introduces new data protection risks,” Shaked explains. “That’s why, together with Microsoft, we’ve developed a solution that allows organizations to safely adopt AI while keeping their sensitive data safe. I’m especially proud that much of this cutting-edge technology was developed by our talented team right here. In Israel.”
“Microsoft is committed to providing secure and intelligent productivity tools for our customers,” said Tony Surma, CTO, Americas Partners at Microsoft. “Introducing Rubrik Data Security Posture Management for Microsoft 365 Copilot aligns with our mission by providing powerful data visibility and control, enabling organizations to confidently leverage AI-driven capabilities while ensuring their sensitive data remains secure.”
