Understanding Insider Risk & How to Detect Data Exfiltration
Insider threats are one of the biggest security risks facing modern organizations. Unlike external cyberattacks, insider risks come from trusted employees, contractors, and partners who already have access to sensitive data. Whether through accidental mishandling, negligence, or malicious intent, data exfiltration by insiders can lead to intellectual property theft, regulatory violations, and financial losses—but most organizations struggle to detect and prevent these threats before it’s too late.
This book provides a complete guide to managing insider risk in Microsoft 365 using Microsoft Purview’s advanced security tools. Security professionals, IT administrators, and compliance officers will learn how to:
- Identify the early warning signs of insider threats before data is compromised.
- Use AI-driven risk detection to separate real security threats from false positives.
- Implement Adaptive Protection to dynamically apply security controls based on risk levels.
- Prevent data exfiltration through SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, email, USB devices, and personal cloud storage.
- Investigate insider risk incidents ethically and legally, ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
- Build a security-aware culture where employees actively contribute to preventing data leaks.
