Getting started with Microsoft Purview – Insider Risk Management

Protecting your organization’s sensitive data and intellectual property requires a proactive approach, especially when it comes to insider threats. Microsoft Insider Risk Management offers a powerful solution to identify and mitigate these potential risks before they escalate. By continuously monitoring user activity across Microsoft 365 platforms, it detects suspicious behaviors that could indicate data leakage, IP theft, or security violations – whether intentional or accidental.

Imagine an employee nearing their departure date suddenly downloading a large volume of sensitive files, or someone inadvertently sharing confidential information in an email. Insider Risk Management flags these red flags, allowing security teams to investigate promptly. Key use cases include detecting data exfiltration, identifying malicious intent, managing departing employees’ access, ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations, and even spotting accidental data leaks.

The system works by collecting signals from various Microsoft 365 services, enabling organizations to create customized policies based on specific risk factors. When user activity triggers a policy, an alert is generated for review and potential case management. This empowers your security team to gain crucial context and take timely action.

Don’t wait for a security incident to happen. Proactively safeguard your organization with Microsoft Insider Risk Management.
