Microsoft 365 Copilot and Enterprise AI Assistant Security Speaking
Copilot Security Keynote Speaker
Copilot reads everything you have permissions to read. Mark Lynd briefs C-Suites on the security realities of Microsoft 365 Copilot and enterprise AI assistants — the oversharing problem that turns legacy permission sprawl into immediate data exposure, the governance controls that actually work, and the rollout decisions that determine whether Copilot becomes a productivity gain or a breach origin. As a 5x CIO/CISO and Head of Executive Advisory at Netsync, Mark advises leadership on the controls before deployment and after.
