Build a Strong Foundation for AI Success
Artificial intelligence is one of the most transformative technologies since cloud computing. Its conversational, user-friendly interface means most businesses aren’t questioning if they’ll implement but when. AI also poses security risk. Set up requires data, identity, and device access across your business. Ascent’s Responsible AI service equips your business with the considerations necessary to drive secure AI success.
Ascent’s consultants recommend three steps to AI readiness: inventory, data, and device security. Knowing the software and hardware on your environment—approved and unapproved—gives your security team insight into AI access. We would also recommend bolstering identity and access infrastructure with tooling like Microsoft Entra, both for on premises and cloud accounts. Governing data access through Microsoft Purview prevents AI pulling proprietary information. Ascent’s Responsible AI service measures your inventory, data, and device security against industry-recognized benchmarks so you are prepared for use.
Threat actors already use AI for criminal activity. Security practitioners should use AI as a defensive tool. Ascent leverages both Microsoft Copilot for Security and Microsoft Copilot for 365 in house. We participated in Microsoft’s Private Preview for Copilot for Security. Our consultants find Microsoft Copilot’s integration with the Microsoft suite provides advanced security and productivity support. Let Ascent assess your data, identity, and device readiness for AI implementation and educate you on best use cases.
