In the modern workplace, Azure Enterprise Apps empower employees to work efficiently by providing seamless access to tools like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and Workday through Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). However, without stringent controls, these apps can become a significant vulnerability, exposing sensitive data to third parties.
Imagine an AI assistant, acting on behalf of a real person, silently joining your meeting, taking meticulous notes, and generating a detailed report of everything discussed. This isn’t science fiction; it’s a real and growing cybersecurity threat that could expose your company’s most sensitive information.
You’re in a rush, juggling emails and meetings, when an app like Otter.ai (AI note-taker), Salesforce (CRM), or Trello (productivity) asks for access to your Microsoft 365 account. It’s marketed as a game-changer—auto-transcribing meetings, syncing customer data, or organizing tasks. But here’s the catch: these Azure Enterprise Apps often demand permissions to poke around in your emails, files, or even your company’s entire directory. Sound sketchy? It is.
