Azure AD AI Risk Policies: Safeguarding Your Digital Assets

Proactively Manage AI-Driven Risks with Azure Active Directory

Explore how Azure AD's advanced identity and access management capabilities can help you define, implement, and enforce policies to mitigate risks associated with artificial intelligence in your organization.

Understanding AI Risk in the Modern Enterprise

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into business operations, it introduces new and complex risk vectors. From data privacy and bias to security vulnerabilities and ethical considerations, organizations must adopt robust strategies to govern AI responsibly. Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) plays a pivotal role in securing access to AI resources and managing user identities, which are fundamental to any risk management framework.
