Imagine you have a security guard at the entrance of a building who checks if anyone is trying to take out sensitive documents. This guard ensures that important information doesn't leave the premises without proper authorization. In the digital world, Microsoft Purview Endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) acts like this security guard, but for your computer.

When you work on a macOS device and use web browsers like Edge or Safari, you might sometimes copy sensitive information, like confidential client details or financial data, and try to paste it into a web browser. This could be similar to trying to take a confidential document out of the building. The new feature in Microsoft Purview now helps prevent this by monitoring and controlling such actions.

If you attempt to paste sensitive content into a browser, the system can detect it and stop it from happening, just like the security guard would stop you from leaving with sensitive papers. This ensures that sensitive data stays within the organization's secure environment and doesn't accidentally get shared on the internet or with unauthorized users.

This update is particularly useful for businesses that need to comply with data protection regulations, as it helps safeguard against unintentional data leaks. By having this feature in place, organizations can better protect their sensitive information, just like having a vigilant security guard at the door.
