New Agents in Microsoft Purview
Security teams often face alert overload and hidden data risks. This video shows how Microsoft Purview agents, powered by Security Copilot, help you focus on what matters most. Watch how the Data Security Triage Agent prioritizes incidents and how the Data Security Posture Agent surfaces risks through natural language queries.
What are the new agents in Microsoft Purview?
The new agents in Microsoft Purview are designed to reshape daily data security workflows so teams can focus on real risks instead of noise.
They are powered by Security Copilot and provide a faster, smarter, and more efficient way to manage data security by:
- Reducing alert overload and false positives
- Highlighting the Insider Risk and DLP incidents that truly need attention
- Helping you uncover hidden risks using natural-language queries
- Letting you apply labels and trigger security policies directly from insights
In practice, this means your team can spend less time sifting through alerts and more time acting on the issues that matter most.
How does the Data Security Triage Agent reduce alert overload?
The Data Security Triage Agent is built to help you quickly understand which alerts deserve your attention.
It supports your triage process by:
- Cutting through alert overload so you’re not buried in low-value notifications
- Eliminating false positives to reduce time wasted on non-issues
- Highlighting the Insider Risk and DLP incidents that are most likely to be real problems
- Providing clear, contextual reasoning behind every alert, so analysts can see why something is flagged
- Supporting automated user outreach, helping you stay in control of follow-up actions
The result is a more focused triage workflow where analysts can act faster on meaningful risks instead of manually sorting through large volumes of alerts.
What does the Data Security Posture Agent do?
The Data Security Posture Agent helps you reimagine how you uncover and respond to data security risks.
Key capabilities include:
- Using natural-language queries to uncover risks that may be hidden behind complex context
- Surfacing issues that might not be obvious from standard dashboards or static reports
- Allowing you to apply sensitivity labels directly from the insight view
- Enabling you to trigger security policies immediately when issues are found
By connecting insights with direct actions, the Data Security Posture Agent helps you move from reactive investigation to proactive data loss prevention, tightening your overall data security posture.
