Episode notes
Copilot Exposes Existing Mistakes
- Copilot surfaces existing configuration and access mistakes quickly rather than creating new classes of vulnerabilities.
- Treat Copilot as an accelerant that exposes oversharing and weak permissions across Microsoft 365.
Scan Your Corpus For Sensitive Data
- Use Data Explorer or Purview scanning to locate sensitive data like social security numbers in SharePoint and OneDrive.
- Remediate discovered sensitive items promptly and update governance to prevent recurrence.
Enumerate And Report Sharing Links
- Run SharePoint Data Access Governance reports and PowerShell to enumerate sharing links across SharePoint and OneDrive.
- Export results to Azure Data Explorer and filter to find org-wide links, links without expirations, and high-risk sites.
