New Feature : Microsoft Purview | Data Loss Prevention: Turning on Data Loss Prevention analytics

Details :

• Microsoft Purview’s Data Loss Prevention analytics feature is available from this month.
• Data Loss Prevention (DLP) analytics is a feature that aids in analyzing data protection challenges and gaps. It helps us evaluate policy and posture enhancement possibilities in our organization.
• We can turn on analytics, which generates recommendations after 7 days, spotlighting risks and fine-tuning policies.
• This feature uses Purview’s capabilities to understand logs and telemetry. It processes classification, activity, user profiles, policy configurations, alerts, and incident information. As a result, it generates recommendations.
• Recommendations stay in the queue for 4 weeks.
• Analytics can be disabled if needed.
• The two categories of recommendations include:
  • Risk spotlighting: Reveals top risks that need mitigation through a new policy.
  • Policy finetuning: Provides policy improvement opportunities.
• The analytics algorithm examines our tenant, identifies blind spots or risks that need attention, and suggests mitigation.
• The recommendations are prioritized by highest impact.
• The top two recommendations are shown as cards. The rest are available as prioritized lists for admins to take necessary actions.
