Setting up Cortana to answer only your voice

Cortana has a shortcut that allows the user to say "Hey, Cortana" to activate the Microsoft Virtual Assistant. This allows anyone to use artificial intelligence software to do research, access files, or open programs even without authorization. To prevent this from happening, you can get her to learn your voice and respond only to you.

It is worth noting that the feature promises to "try to respond only to you". The machine may still fail at some point and allow access to someone who has a voice similar to yours.
