Protecting Your Organization from the Inside with Insider Risk Management

David Drever

Microsoft 365 MVP - Compliance, Data Protection, and M365 Specialist

When someone hears the term data breach, they immediately think of an attack by a hacker or group of hackers from outside the organization, worming their way through the company's security infrastructure and accessing its sensitive data. That person would be correct, But many businesses don't realize that over 40% of all data breaches involve someone from within their organization. Whether malicious or accidental, many data breaches are caused by an internal actor. Insider Risk Management within Microsoft 365 provides protections to help ensure an organization can protect itself from within.

In this session, attendees will learn the features of Insider Risk Management, how it can be used to monitor and protect sensitive data, the various templates available, and which template will best meet their needs. Advanced options such as adaptive protections and forensic evidence gathering will be discussed. Finally, attendees will come away with a real-world understanding of how best to implement insider risk management within their organizations to protect themselves from the inside.
