Details:
With this update, the indicators belonging to cloud storage apps (Box, Dropbox, Google Drive), cloud services (Azure, Amazon Web Services) and Microsoft Fabric (Power BI, Lakehouse) will be supported as triggers in Data leaks policy. With triggers, customers can define the conditions for bringing the user into the scope of a policy while the respective indicators are used to determine risk score. 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.
