New features from Microsoft set to help organizations detect risky usage of AI

on
Here are two new features from Microsoft which will enhance the detection of risky AI usage and generative AI interactions. Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management is introducing new detections for risky AI usage. This update will enhance the ability of administrators to identify risky AI usage within their organizations. The new detections will cover both intentional and unintentional insider risk activities related to generative AI applications, including risky prompts containing sensitive information or intent and sensitive responses generated from sensitive files or sites. The detections will apply to M365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and ChatGPT Enterprise, contributing to Adaptive Protection insider risk levels. Using IRM  administrators can gain insights into risky AI usage in an anonymized form using analytics, create policies to track risky prompts and sensitive responses, and use the new generative AI indicators in adaptive protection to assess user risk scores.

Important certificate note to self

on
I've been having issues on a server, where I was supposed to create a secure channel (tls) to a remote server for synchronizing the exchange free/busy information on users. I long suspected it to be certificate related, but I always ended up by turning ssl of (thus running unencrypted). I thought I had it all done right, when importing the root certificate of the CA to the trusted root. But it never solved my problem. 

Thanks to my OCS course, a bright light dawned on me. The reason why the TLS failed could be several. First of all, if you are running the sync service as a service on the server, the certificate must be in the trusted root of the computer, not the administrator (or other account which you are installing as). Second, if the service is set up to "run as" a separate user. It is a good idea to log on as that particular user, and import the certificate as that user. Quite simple when you think about it, but not always intuitive..... :P
