Microsoft Unveils Security Dashboard for AI to Enhance Enterprise Risk Management
In a move to bolster the security posture of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, Microsoft has introduced the Security Dashboard for AI, a new tool designed to provide chief information security officers (CISOs) and AI risk leaders with a comprehensive governance solution.
Key Features
Currently available in public preview for enterprise environments, the dashboard aggregates posture and real-time risk signals from Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Entra, and Microsoft Purview into a single, unified view within security tools.
“The Security Dashboard for AI empowers CISOs and AI risk leaders to discover and track AI assets, monitor AI posture and drift, and correlate risk signals to investigate and respond to potential threats across their entire AI ecosystem.”
— Amanda Lowe, Senior Product Manager at Microsoft
Benefits
This capability enables security teams to maintain a centralized inventory of AI assets, including AI agents, models, servers, and applications, as well as third-party AI models and applications integrated with Microsoft services.
The dashboard presents AI-related security risks in a consolidated view, leveraging the capabilities of Security Copilot to facilitate investigation and prioritization.
Security teams can utilize natural language queries to identify unmanaged or shadow AI agents, review associated activity, and explore risk context tied to specific assets.
Additionally, the dashboard evaluates the effectiveness of AI security controls within an organization and provides recommendations linked to identified risks, which can be assigned to relevant users to support coordinated remediation and ongoing risk management.
Availability
The Security Dashboard for AI is available to organizations that utilize eligible Microsoft security products.
During the public preview period, organizations that already secure AI workloads through Microsoft security tooling can access the dashboard to enhance their AI risk management capabilities.
Conclusion
By providing a unified view of AI security posture and risk signals, the Security Dashboard for AI aims to help CISOs and AI risk leaders navigate the complexities of AI security and maintain a proactive stance against emerging threats.
