Introducing Microsoft Purview Data Security Investigations

Investigate data security, risk and leak cases faster by leveraging AI-driven insights with Microsoft Purview Data Security Investigations. This goes beyond the superficial metadata and activity-only signals found in incident management and SIEM tools, by analyzing the content itself within compromised files, emails, messages, and Microsoft Copilot interactions. Data Security Investigations allows you to pinpoint sensitive data and assess risks at a deeper level—quickly understanding the value of what’s been exposed.

Then by mapping connections between compromised data and activities, you can easily find the source of the security risk or exposure. And using real-time risk insights, you can also apply the right protections to minimize future vulnerabilities. Data Security Investigations is also integrated with Microsoft Defender incident management as part your broader SOC toolset.

Nick Robinson, Microsoft Purview Principal Product Manager, joins Jeremy Chapman to share how to enhance your ability to safeguard critical information.
