Microsoft have recently launched a new feature with its Co-Pilot AI software called “Microsoft Recall”. Recall will constantly take can search through all users’ past activity including files, photos, emails and browsing history. This means that everything a user does in their Microsoft account on a device gets captured and stored. Just think about everything you have accessed just today.
That is an interesting approach and one that I think I agree with. When GDPR came in there was a lot of noise and guidance around many thing, including Cyber Security. So to not have effective controls in place from the 25th May 2018, or to not have a risk management strategy in place for where controls can’t be put in place, does make it a fair point to raise (in my opinion).
So it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything (again) as the day job (and indeed one of the ‘other’ job’s) has been taking up a large chunk of my time. As the DP regulation seems to be on a low heat with nothing really new coming out (other than what we are already aware of) I’ve decided to take a look at the wider world.
