(Updated) Microsoft Copilot Notebooks: Introducing Infographics

🚨 The Signal: Copilot Notebooks will generate infographics from content, enabled by default. This enhances data visualisation but increases the potential for sensitive information to be inadvertently summarised and shared visually, requiring vigilance over data handling.

The Impact

Users with Copilot Notebooks are affected, increasing the risk of sensitive data exposure through automatically generated visual summaries.

• End users: Risk of inadvertently summarising and sharing sensitive data visually.
• Security teams: Increased surface area for data exfiltration via visual content.
• Data owners: New vector for data sprawl and uncontrolled visual representations of information.

The Action

1. Review existing Microsoft 365 and Copilot admin policies to ensure they adequately cover visual content generation and sharing.
2. Educate users on the responsible use of infographic generation, emphasising data sensitivity and sharing protocols.
3. Monitor Copilot usage logs for unusual patterns related to infographic creation and sharing, if logging capabilities permit.
