MC395424: Microsoft Purview: Insider Risk Management – Sequence detection (GA)

Coming soon to general availability for worldwide and U.S. government cloud environments, we’re introducing sequence detection to the Insider Risk Management solution within the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 93319.

The chronological order of risky activities is an important aspect of risk investigation and identifying these related activities can help to better identify which activities pose a bigger risk. In Insider Risk Management, you can detect these activities with a sequence detection. Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, security and policy violations, and more. Built with privacy by design, users are pseudonymized by default, and role-based access controls and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.
