The governance shift: RBAC, URBAC, data lake, and MSSP

AI is reshaping how data moves, how access gets granted, and how risk multiplies—faster than most security strategies were built to handle. Sensitive data is flowing through AI prompts, browsers, and agents. Identities are extending to non-human actors. And traditional perimeters are no longer enough.
As organizations scale AI, security teams need a practical way to protect data, govern access, and manage risk before adoption outpaces control.
Securing AI end-to-end requires bringing identity, access, and data protection together—not as separate functions, but as a unified strategy.
To help you put that strategy into practice, we’re launching a new three-part webinar series: Securing Data and Access in the Era of AI. Each session brings together product experts from Microsoft Entra and Microsoft Purview to help you:
- Protect sensitive data across networks, apps, and AI interactions
- Govern access for users, applications, and AI agents
- Reduce risk while enabling innovation at scale
Whether you’re shaping strategy or implementing controls, you’ll leave with practical steps to secure data, govern access, and reduce risk across your AI journey.

There is no question that AI is transforming the enterprise: changing how data moves, how decisions are made, and how risk takes shape. As agents access, interpret, and act on sensitive data, unmanaged AI use expands and traditional boundaries blur.
Kicking off our series on Securing Data and Access in the Era of AI, Microsoft Entra VP of Product Sinead O’Donovan and Microsoft Purview GM of Product Maithili Dandige explain why legacy security models fall short in the age of AI—and why you need a strategy that brings together identity, access, and data protection. Want to adopt and enable AI innovation with greater control and confidence? Join us to learn how leading organizations are securing access, protecting data, and establishing trust for the next generation of AI-powered work.

Sensitive data doesn’t stay still. It moves through browsers, SaaS apps, generative AI tools, and prompts—often beyond the visibility of traditional controls. In this session, see how Microsoft Entra and Microsoft Purview bring real-time visibility and control to sensitive data in motion across the network. You’ll learn how integrated data security and secure access controls can help reduce leakage risk, support responsible AI adoption, and enable modern work without slowing the business down.

AI agents are reaching into mailboxes, files, line-of-business apps, and the open web on behalf of your users—and the business wants more of them, faster. To scale agents safely, your security teams need to be able to verify each agent, govern what it can access, and enforce clear boundaries across every interaction.
Learn how Microsoft Entra helps you discover shadow AI agents, govern agent permissions, keep BYOD and endpoint-based agents in scope, and apply Conditional Access to AI prompts and responses. Then see how Microsoft Purview provides visibility into agent activity, strengthens runtime data protection, helps detect agentic risk, and supports auditability across local agents developed on GitHub Copilot CLI, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and OpenClaw. Walk away with practical ways to unlock AI agents while keeping access and data protection aligned with your enterprise security needs.
