Microsoft launches Security Dashboard for AI: unified oversight for enterprise risk
Microsoft has released Security Dashboard for AI in public preview for enterprise environments. It pulls posture and real-time risk signals from Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Entra, and Microsoft Purview into one view inside existing security tools.
According to Amanda Lowe, Sr. Product Manager at Microsoft, the dashboard helps CISOs and AI risk leaders discover agents and apps, track posture and drift, and connect risk signals across the AI ecosystem to investigate and act.
What leaders get
- Single, correlated view of AI-related risks powered by signals from Defender, Entra, and Purview.
- Inventory of AI assets: agents, models, MCP servers, and applications-including Microsoft services and third-party AI models and apps.
- Security Copilot support for investigation and prioritization, with natural language queries to surface unmanaged or shadow AI agents and related activity.
- Assessment of AI security controls with recommendations mapped to identified risks.
- Work assignment for remediation to the right owners, supporting coordinated response and ongoing risk management as systems change.
Why this matters to management
AI is entering your environment faster than traditional governance can keep up. Without a current inventory and correlated signals, shadow AI and misconfigured controls create exposure you can't quantify.
This dashboard consolidates what you already own into a manageable picture-so you can prioritize by business impact, assign owners, and track progress over time.
How it works at a glance
- Aggregates signals from Microsoft Defender, Entra, and Purview into a single dashboard.
- Maintains an inventory of AI assets across internal and third-party tools.
- Enables natural language investigation to review activity and risk context tied to specific assets.
- Evaluates control coverage and produces actionable recommendations with clear ownership.
- Available during public preview to organizations using eligible Microsoft security products.
What to do next
- Confirm eligibility across Defender, Entra, and Purview, then enable the public preview.
- Assign clear ownership: who manages AI asset inventory, who triages risk, and who remediates.
- Stand up a weekly review of recommendations; track time-to-detect and time-to-remediate for AI risks.
- Document your AI controls baseline and monitor drift monthly.
