Reduce manual security investigations; these AI-powered agents help security and compliance teams prioritize real risks, uncover hidden sensitive data, and respond faster to insider threats and data exposure. Cut through alert noise and focus on the risks that matter with Agents in Microsoft Purview. Use Data Security Triage Agent to prioritize incidents, investigate user activity with full context, and uncover hidden patterns that signal real threats. Identify and act on high-risk behavior, like data exfiltration or persistent access, before it leads to data loss.
Detect sensitive data across your environment using natural language with Data Security Posture Agent. Analyze content to find what’s exposed, apply protections or restrict access, and surface hidden credentials, so you can take action and continuously reduce risk.
Michelle Slotwinski, Microsoft Purview Senior Product Manager, shares how to stay ahead of data risk by turning investigation into proactive protection.
