Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Insider Risk Management – File type exclusion in email attachments

With the latest update to Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management, admins can now apply file type exclusions to email attachments, reducing the possibility of noisy signals. Insider Risk Management relies on signals from a range of sources to spot potential insider risks such as data leakage, IP theft, and security violations, using correlations to identify suspicious activity. The feature allows customers to create policies for better security and compliance management, with robust role-based access controls and audit logs to protect user privacy by default. With the latest development, file type exclusions will have fewer chances of generating unnecessary alerts, providing more accurate insight into potential insider threats.

To take full advantage of the feature, users will need to configure file type exclusions from their Insider Risk Management policies, which can add an extra layer of security to mitigate the risk of unwanted alerts. Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management is a powerful tool that can identify and mitigate security risks, and this new update emphasizes Microsoft's commitment to keeping its software at the forefront of enterprise data management security.
