Are You Copilot-Ready? The Hidden Data Risks in Microsoft 365

Thursday 26^th March 2026 - 2PM EDT

45 minutes

Presented by Philip Robinson, Chief Marketing Officer @ Lepide

Microsoft 365 Copilot is rapidly changing how employees interact with organizational data. But Copilot does not create new permissions, it uses the access that already exists in your environment. If users already have excessive or unnecessary access to files, SharePoint sites, or Teams content, Copilot can make that data easier to discover, summarize, and expose. For many organizations, this means long-standing identity and permissions risks are suddenly becoming far more visible.

You’ll learn:

• Why Microsoft Copilot can expose hidden data access risks
• How over-permissioned users and groups increase AI-driven data exposure
• The security impact of dormant accounts and excessive permissions
• How to detect unusual Copilot activity and sensitive data access
• Practical steps to secure your environment before Copilot adoption expands

Why Attend

Many organizations are enabling Copilot without fully understanding how their existing identity and data access models affect security. In this live session, Lepide will explain the key risks that security teams should evaluate before rolling out Copilot at scale, and demonstrate how to gain visibility into Copilot usage, detect risky access patterns, and reduce unnecessary exposure.

Join us to learn how to identify the hidden risks Copilot can surface and how to ensure your identity and data security controls are ready for the AI-driven workplace.
