TL;DR
- Cyera provides AI-powered classification to identify sensitive data across all environments and map which Copilot-enabled users can access it.
- The platform enables both user-centric analysis (what can this person access?) and data-centric analysis (who can access this sensitive information?).
- Organizations can identify stale Copilot-enabled accounts and prioritize remediation based on the sensitivity of accessible data.
Summary
This product demonstration showcases how Cyera addresses security concerns in Microsoft Copilot deployments by providing visibility and control over sensitive data access. The platform uses AI-powered classification to identify and categorize data across environments, then maps which Copilot-enabled users can access that sensitive information. The demo walks through two complementary approaches: starting from a user perspective to see what sensitive data a specific Copilot-enabled employee can reach, and starting from the data itself to identify which Copilot users have access to critical information like customer social security numbers. Key capabilities highlighted include file-level and learned classifications, identification of stale accounts that haven't logged in for 90 days, and the ability to add contextual filters such as customer-related data that is specifically identifiable. The demonstration emphasizes that organizations can use Cyera to understand Copilot's impact on data exposure and control what information the AI assistant can learn from and access.

Key Quotes
0:20 "What we really want to know is understand who can access and who is Copilot enabled that sensitive data."
1:41 "Due to the unique way that Sierra can provide additional context, we can really focus on what is relevant to our security policies."
2:30 "Identify what is critical data to your organization and ensure that only specific users with or without Copilot can access that data and control what is learned and what is accessible to Copilot as a whole."
