Insider Risk Management Administrators will now be able to increase the CPU and GPU device resource utilization limit for all devices uploading Forensic Evidence clips in their organization. Forensic Evidence will now allow up to 31% CPU and GPU device resource utilization, up from the prior maximum limit of 5%. This enhancement reduces interruptions in the recording and uploading of clips. Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, data leakage, and security violations. Insider Risk Management enables customers to create policies based on their own internal policies, governance, and organizational requirements. Built with privacy by design, users are pseudonymized by default, and role-based access controls and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.

Imagine you're trying to record a video on your phone, but every time you do, the phone slows down or the recording stops because it's using too much of its processing power. This can be frustrating, especially if you need to capture important moments without interruption.

Similarly, in the world of IT, when companies use tools to monitor insider risks, they sometimes need to record and upload clips of what's happening on devices to gather evidence. Previously, these tools could only use a small portion of the device's processing power (CPU and GPU), like trying to record a video with just a fraction of your phone's capability. This limitation could lead to interruptions and incomplete recordings.

Now, with the changes in Microsoft Purview's Insider Risk Management, companies can allow these tools to use more of the device's processing power—up to 31% instead of just 5%. This is like giving your phone more power to record videos smoothly without interruptions. It means that the tools can work more efficiently, capturing and uploading the necessary information without slowing down the device too much.

This change is part of a broader effort to help organizations manage insider risks more effectively. Just like setting rules for how you use your phone, companies can create policies to monitor and protect their data based on their specific needs. The system is designed with privacy in mind, ensuring that individuals' identities are protected and only authorized personnel can access sensitive information.

Overall, this update allows for smoother operation and better performance in managing insider risks, much like how allowing your phone to use more of its power can improve your video recording experience.
