Identify what data was exposed in a breach, not just where it moved, but what it contains, how sensitive it is, and the risk it creates using Microsoft Purview Data Security Investigations. Search across massive volumes of files using natural language, pinpoint the highest risk content, and connect it to user activity to see the full scope of an incident. Investigate and act in one workflow. Analyze content deeply across files, emails, and AI interactions, uncover hidden or unclassified sensitive data, and contain exposure fast. Proactively identify risks, respond to incidents with clarity, and mitigate impact before it spreads. Christophe Fiessinger, Microsoft Purview Principal Squad Leader, joins Jeremy Chapman to walk through real-world investigation workflows—from scoping and analysis to mitigation and automation—so you can move faster and make more informed security decisions. ► QUICK LINKS: 00:00 - Keep data safe with DSI 01:26 - Connect dots between data risk & impact 02:47 - Built-in AI 03:47 - Work across the full lifecycle of an incident 04:56 - Create an investigation 06:36 - Deep search and analysis 09:03 - How DSI helps data leaks 10:40 - Contain risk with built-in mitigation 11:32 - Automate using agents 13:23 - Estimator tool 14:57 - Wrap up ► Link References As a Microsoft Purview admin, just go to https://purview.microsoft.com/dsi ► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?

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. ► QUICK LINKS: 00:00 - Reduce data risks 00:59 - Data Security Triage Agent 01:46 - Investigate risks 03:29 - Detect patterns 05:17 - Uncover nested insights 07:44 - Credential scanning 09:03 - Wrap up ► Link References https://aka.ms/AgentsinPurview ► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?
