As a result, Microsoft Purview now encompasses technologies like AIP (Azure Information Protection) and MIP (Microsoft Information Protection), of which you might already be aware.
Preventing Data Loss with Microsoft Purview:
With Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP), users may strike a better balance between security and productivity while dealing with sensitive data. It assists your company in getting rid of a disjointed collection of DLP tools and reaping the benefits of a single solution that helps in identifying the usage of sensitive data, correcting policy infractions, and instructing users on how to manage sensitive data at the endpoint, on-premises, and in the cloud.
DLP is simple to enable and has built-in security for Microsoft 365, Office applications, Windows and Mac versions of Microsoft Edge, and endpoint devices. Additionally, the Microsoft Purview Chrome expansion or the interaction with Defender from Microsoft for Cloud Apps allows for expanding DLP controls to several non-Microsoft cloud applications, including Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, and others.
Information Security:
Information Protection by Purview enables enterprises to effectively categorize and secure sensitive data without sacrificing productivity. You can accomplish this by hand or using an automated system. Searching for sensitive data, such as personally identifiable information or private product documentation, and automatically applying the appropriate categorization label is the target of the automated method.
Data categorization relies heavily on sensitivity labels, which allow companies to designate data sensitivity levels. For example, sensitive client data might be tagged to limit access to authorized staff. Insights on data usage patterns provided by these labels enable companies to enhance the safety of sensitive data by implementing tailored encryption and usage controls.
