At Ignite, Microsoft is introducing a major evolution of Purview Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) to help organizations strengthen data security and confidently embrace AI. The new DSPM experience unifies visibility and control across traditional data and AI-driven environments, delivering outcome-based guided workflows that turn insights into actionable steps—so teams can prioritize risks and remediate faster. It brings AI observability, enhanced posture reporting, and intelligent Security Copilot agents to automate tasks like triage and policy management. Plus, Purview now extends coverage beyond Microsoft data with third-party signals from partners like BigID, Cyera, OneTrust, and Varonis, giving security teams a single, streamlined view of sensitive data across clouds and platforms. Together, these innovations make DSPM the central hub for managing data security posture in the era of AI. We are also extending Data Risk Assessments to Fabric and to item-level analysis with new remediation actions like bulk disabling of overshared SharePoint links.

Imagine you're the manager of a large library. This library has countless books, some of which are very rare and valuable. You need to ensure these books are safe, easily accessible to the right people, and that you can quickly respond if any are misplaced or damaged. This is similar to what Microsoft Purview's new Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) experience is doing for organizations with their data.

Think of the new DSPM as a sophisticated security system for your library. It provides a comprehensive view of all your books (or data) and helps you keep track of them, whether they're in the main library or stored in a special section for rare books (traditional data and AI-driven environments). Just like how a librarian might use a system to track which books are checked out or need repair, DSPM uses AI to observe and report on data security, making it easier to spot and fix issues quickly.

The system also acts like a smart assistant, automating routine tasks such as sorting books (triage) and updating library policies (policy management). It even extends its capabilities beyond your library to include books from partner libraries (third-party signals), giving you a unified view of all your valuable collections.

Additionally, just as you might conduct regular checks to assess the condition of your books, DSPM offers Data Risk Assessments. These assessments now include more detailed analysis, allowing you to take specific actions like adjusting access to certain books (bulk disabling of overshared SharePoint links).

In essence, Microsoft Purview's new DSPM experience is like having a highly efficient, AI-powered librarian who helps you manage and secure your library's collection in the digital age.
