Learn how RECO retains Microsoft 365 Copilot, detecting risky clues, protecting data management and threats – everything retaining high performance.
Copilot Microsoft 365 promises to improve performance by turning the natural language into action. Employees can create reports, comb or get instant answers simply by asking a copy.
However, with this convenience, there are serious security problems. Copilot works in Saas apps (from SharePoint to teams and beyond), which means a careless hint or a compromised user account, can expose herbs sensitive information.
Safety experts warn that organizations Should not be considered default settings will keep them safe. Without active control, every file of your organization can be available through Copilot. Surgains can use Copilot to identify and highlight the sensitive data without having to look for manually through the systems.
With the right tips, the attacker can potentially find sensitive files or even display IT -infrastructure and vulnerability. In order to safely take the benefits of Copilot, companies need equal security measures.
Approach RECO to Microsoft Copilot security
RECO, SAAS security platform, is to resolve these risks caused by a copy. Unlike traditional safety tools that may not notice AI App, Reco takes a holistic approach to the Copyate. It views the Capilot as another SAAS ecosystem component that requires monitoring and management – just like an additional user or app that touches your data.
The RECO platform constantly analyzes how Copilot interacts with SAAS data and users of your organization, providing real -time detection and understanding that it is impossible to get only from the native Copilot.
RECO strategy for Copilot security covers six key areas. Here is the analysis of each of these areas.
Quick analysis
One of the newest parts of the RECO approach is the analysis of the clues (requests) that users are introduced into Copilot. After all, Copilot will do everything the user asks – so when someone asks him to do something dubious, Reco tries to pull it out early.
RECO uses a multifaceted approach to operational analysis, which evaluates each capiter request compared to several criteria. Some key items of this analysis include:
1. The user context
Reconstrates each hint of a copy to the identity and role of a particular user. The same request that may be normal for the IT administrator may look very suspicious that it comes from a sales employee or financing. For example, when the trainee begins to request a network configuration through Copilot, it is a red flag, whereas the IT -IT -IT question can be within their work.
2. Finding keywords
Reconstruction is tracked by Copilot suggests sensitive keywords or phrases that often indicate risky behavior. If the user’s request includes the conditions related to confidential data types (such as “SSN”, “Credit Card” or other PII), or keywords hacking/abuse (such as “bye authentication” or “users’ export”), RECO will pull it out. This acts as the first line of defense; Any attempt to directly request sensitive information via Copilot causes a warning.
3. Context analysis
Malicious or careless clues are not always obvious (“Export of all customer credit card numbers” is a clear red flag, but the attacker may be thinner). A reasonable hint can persuade the Capurate into detecting sensitive data without using cheeky keywords.
That is why RECO applies natural language processing (NLP) to understand the intentions behind the line. This catching up deftly formulated requests that avoid obvious keywords but have the same dangerous intention. For example, instead of using a “password”, someone may ask: “How does the login system work?”
4. Association of the Sample Attack
The platform compares tips with known methods of attack from frames such as MITER ATT&T. Using the comparison of the vector similarity, RECO determines when the request resembles a famous malicious sample, helping catch modern attempts when Copilot is used as a intelligence tool.
Manage Data Exposure
Although fast analysis watches the users asking, RECO also tracks Copilot’s answers and actions – especially those that can incorrectly expose the data.
Tracks file sharing events and link sharing links involving Copilot. When Copilot generates content that receives a total time, repeats the conducting permits with security policy. For example, if a document created by a copy is made publicly, reconstruct it as a potential risk.
The platform also integrates with data classification systems (eg Microsoft Purview sensitivity) to understand what data is referring to access to data. When Copilot interacts with content, classified as sensitive or confidential, renovates these events and creates appropriate alerts.
Deposit and delay
Copilot provision requires access to only appropriate users and that they work on the principle of the least privileges. RECO constantly analyzing your Saas users’ database to determine identity risks that Copilot can enhance:
- Accounts with excessive permits that could use Copilot to access big data
- Users who do not have multifactorial authentication providing higher compromise risks
- External accounts or stale accounts that may improperly access Copilot
- Suspicious access samples that may indicate impaired credentials
Determining these problems, RECO helps organizations maintain proper access control around Copilot’s use, preventing it from becoming an unauthorized access tool.

Identifying the threat
RECO views interaction with the capilot as a security telemetry flow that may detect suspicious behavior when correlated with other user data points. Indicators of potential thigh platform attacks:
- Unusual places to access or suspicious IP -Drace for copying sessions
- Pathological samples of use such as excessive data search or across the clock
- Potential Insider threats as an employee who uses Copilot to download unusual confidential documents
- Anomalies to log that can show compromise account
Each alert includes contextual information reflected in the framework such as Miter ATT&T, helping security groups quickly understand and respond to potential threats.

Direct visibility
RECO turns to the visibility break that many organizations with new AI instruments, such as Copilot through your knowledge schedule that visualize the use in your environment SAAS. This graph:
- Shows who uses Copilot and what data they access
- Identifies anomalies in use models
- Connects the activity in your Saas stack for contextual understanding
- Tracks trends when taking and using Capyrat
The look at the eyes of the birds helps the security teams to determine the potential risks and ineffectiveness, such as the unusual concentration of requests that are directed to confidential information, or external accounts that refer to the capyle improperly.

Detection of risk Saas-Saas
As the organizations combine Copilot with other applications, new risks may appear. Reconstrate interaction of cross -application when Copilot connects with other Saas tools.
The platform reveals when new applications appear and interact with the environment through Copilot, denoting Shadow AI or unauthorized integrations. For example, if the developer adds a plugin that connects to Copilot without the permission of the security team, RECO leads to it right away.
What RECO does for the safety of the capilot
To set appropriate expectations, it is important to understand the RECO limits:
- DO NOT DLP or filter content: RECO does not block or censor copillers in real time-these are notifications and magazines concerning events rather than prevent them.
- Not the safety of the final points: RECO runs on the Saas layer rather than at the device level. It complements but does not replace the final points.
- Don’t Change Configuration: RECO will flag the wrong configuration, but it does not change the capilot settings. While you can lift the ticket to the owner of the app via RECO and provide recovery instructions, you still have to use Microsoft tools to customize the service.
Conclusion
As we researched, Capilot can potentially touch everything – all your documents, messages and data are its strength and the greatest risk. Thus, the Copilot consolidation is not only Copilot itself, but also for providing your entire Saas environment from a new type of access and automation.
A dynamic approach to Copilot RECO safety can help organizations safely accept these AI tools.
