How Strengthening the Four Pillars of Security Accelerates AI Success

A Practical Guide to Securing AI

Microsoft Copilot enables new ways of working, making tasks faster, smarter and more collaborative. But unlocking these benefits requires solid security foundations that can withstand the increased visibility Copilot brings. While Copilot doesn’t introduce new security risks, it amplifies existing ones, exposing weaknesses that, if left unaddressed, can slow down adoption and weaken your defences.


This event will walk you through the four pillars of modern security as the building blocks for responsible AI adoption. We’ll explore concrete use cases, ranging from low- to high-risk scenarios, to show how security can either hold back or accelerate Copilot’s impact.  By connecting identity, devices, secure operations and data, we’ll demonstrate how to turn security into an accelerator, helping you reduce vulnerabilities, build resilience, and unlock Copilot’s full potential faster and with confidence.
