Microsoft Copilot drives new data‑loss‑prevention guidance and university AI training

Microsoft Copilot’s expanding role in the Microsoft 365 suite has prompted organizations to address security and compliance risks. A practical guide outlines how to configure Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies in Microsoft Purview to monitor and protect sensitive information that Copilot may generate, such as financial summaries, customer reports, and legal contracts, helping prevent accidental data exposure.

In Canada, the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) is hosting an AI Exchange session on October 7 to show how Copilot can be used as a learning tool rather than a shortcut. Librarian Martha Attridge Bufton of Carleton University will lead activities that have first‑year students compare AI‑generated text with their own work, discuss ethical implications, and develop critical‑thinking skills around generative AI.
