Microsoft Purview Data Security Investigations is a tool designed to help data security teams identify and manage risks associated with sensitive data exposure. Think of it like a detective agency for your company's data. Just as detectives use various methods to gather clues and solve cases, this tool uses advanced technology, including generative AI, to analyze data deeply and identify potential risks.

Imagine your company's data as a vast library. Within this library, there are certain books (or data) that are highly sensitive and need to be protected. Microsoft Purview acts like a security system for this library, constantly scanning the shelves to ensure that these sensitive books are not being accessed or shared inappropriately. It uses "activity signals," which are like footprints or fingerprints left behind by users, to track how data is being used and to detect any unusual or risky behavior.

This tool is available across various platforms, including Mac, Android, and iOS, making it versatile and accessible for different users. It's like having a security system that works on all types of devices, ensuring that no matter where your data is stored or accessed, it remains protected.

In summary, Microsoft Purview Data Security Investigations provides a sophisticated way to monitor and protect sensitive data within an organization, using cutting-edge technology to ensure data security teams can quickly identify and address potential risks.
