Updated Copilot in Microsoft Edge Experience

🚨 The Signal: Copilot in Microsoft Edge is updating with new UI, icon, and features like Voice and Vision. Existing security and compliance controls remain unchanged, but new AI capabilities introduce potential data handling risks.

The Impact

All users with Copilot in Edge are affected, introducing new vectors for data interaction and potential exposure if not properly governed.

• End users: New voice/vision input methods could inadvertently expose sensitive information.
• Security teams: Need to assess new AI modalities for data leakage risks and policy enforcement.
• Compliance teams: Must review existing policies against new interaction methods for data handling.
• Admins: No direct action, but should be aware of new user capabilities and potential misuse.

The Action

1. Review existing data classification and handling policies for Copilot interactions.
2. Communicate to users about appropriate data handling when using Copilot's new voice/vision features.
3. Monitor Microsoft Purview Audit logs for unusual Copilot activity or data access patterns.
4. Assess the impact of new voice/vision capabilities on your organisation's ASD ISM compliance posture.
