Summary

Insider Risk Management is providing the ability to create a case without content. With this, we will introduce a new active case limit (2000). This new functionality will allow customers to create more cases particularly when content download is unnecessary. If a case is created without content download, content download can be initiated anytime the case is active pending available content download limits. There is no change to the active content download limit (100).

Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, data leakage, and security violations. Insider Risk Management enables customers to create policies based on their own internal policies, governance, and organizational requirements. 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.
