The feature is enabled by default for all tenants but can be disabled by admins via PowerShell.
Microsoft now introduces the Security Dashboard for AI in public preview to help organizations strengthen AI security. This dashboard centralizes AI inventory, risks, and recommendations in one place for easier security management.
