Microsoft has introduced the Security Dashboard for AI, now available in public preview, providing CISOs, security teams, and AI risk leaders with a unified platform to monitor and manage security risks associated with AI systems across their organization. As enterprises rapidly adopt AI technologies from copilots and agents to machine learning models the complexity of securing these environments has increased significantly. The Security Dashboard for AI aims to address this challenge by offering centralized visibility and governance across the entire AI ecosystem. The dashboard consolidates security insights from Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Entra, and Microsoft Purview, bringing together identity, data, and threat intelligence signals into a single, integrated interface. This approach helps organizations move away from fragmented security tools and instead gain a holistic understanding of their AI security posture. With this unified view, security teams can quickly identify risks such as data leakage, model vulnerabilities, misconfigured AI agents, excessive permissions, and unauthorized or shadow AI applications operating within their environment.
One of the most important capabilities of the Security Dashboard for AI is AI asset discovery and inventory management. The platform automatically identifies AI-powered applications, agents, models, and supporting infrastructure across the organization. This includes Microsoft-native solutions such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio agents, and Microsoft Foundry applications, as well as third-party AI tools and platforms including OpenAI ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and MCP servers. By maintaining a centralized inventory of AI assets, organizations gain better visibility into where AI is being used and can apply governance policies more effectively.
The dashboard also provides an AI risk scorecard, offering a high-level overview of an organization’s AI security posture. This scorecard highlights potential vulnerabilities and provides actionable recommendations to strengthen AI governance and security controls. Security leaders can use these insights to prioritize remediation efforts, improve compliance readiness, and align AI deployments with organizational security policies.
To further enhance risk analysis, the dashboard integrates with Microsoft Security Copilot, enabling AI-powered insights and investigation capabilities. Security teams can use natural language prompts to explore AI-related risks, analyze suspicious activity, and identify unmanaged or shadow AI agents operating within their environment. This significantly improves the ability to investigate incidents and understand the broader context of AI-related threats.
Another important capability is automated risk mitigation and task delegation. The platform provides tailored recommendations for improving AI security posture and allows administrators to assign remediation tasks directly to relevant teams through Microsoft productivity tools such as Microsoft Teams. This streamlines collaboration between security, compliance, and IT teams, ensuring faster response times and more efficient risk management.
As organizations continue to integrate AI into business operations, maintaining visibility and governance across these systems becomes critical. The Security Dashboard for AI helps address this need by providing a centralized framework for AI security monitoring, risk assessment, and compliance management.
For organizations already using Microsoft’s security ecosystem including Defender, Entra, and Purview the Security Dashboard for AI is included as part of eligible security products, allowing them to extend their existing security capabilities to cover AI-powered applications and workloads.
Overall, this new dashboard represents a significant step toward helping enterprises securely scale AI adoption, providing the tools needed to monitor AI risks, enforce governance policies, and maintain a strong security posture as AI usage expands across the organization.
