Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365): [Copilot Extensibility] Improved discovery of Copilot connector sources in Microsoft 365 Copilot (optionally add chat) with Content Source filter(s)
🚨 The Signal: Copilot now offers improved content source filtering for connectors, making it easier for users to find information from integrated third-party services. This enhances data discovery but requires careful governance of connector access and data exposure.
The Impact
All Copilot users are affected; the risk is unintended data exposure if connector access isn't properly governed.
- Security Teams: Risk of data overexposure if connector permissions are not tightly controlled.
- Admins: Increased need to review and manage Copilot connector configurations and data access policies.
- End Users: Improved data discovery, but potential for seeing data from sources they shouldn't access if policies are lax.
The Action
- Review existing Copilot connector configurations and their associated data access policies.
- Implement or refine data loss prevention (DLP) policies for data exposed via Copilot connectors.
- Audit user access to third-party applications connected to Copilot via connectors.
- Educate users on appropriate data handling when interacting with Copilot and its connected sources.
