We’re living in a world where data is growing faster than ever. Experts say that the amount of data we create is doubling every four years! As AI becomes more important in everything we do, companies are struggling to protect their valuable data and use it to make smart decisions. Data is like the fuel for AI, but the big question is: Is your data ready to power your business?

A Patchwork Solution Isn't Enough

Lots of companies have tried to solve this problem by adding security tools to each individual data storage system. It’s like trying to fix a leaky roof with a bunch of patches. This approach is not only expensive and time-consuming, but it also doesn’t work very well. Companies that do this often fail security audits and damage their reputation.

A recent study by Microsoft showed that a 74%  of organizations had their sensitive data exposed last year. Many companies also struggle to get the right information from their data, leading to poor quality data. Even though companies are excited about using AI, most leaders aren’t sure if they can manage the risks and follow the new rules.

To take full advantage of AI, companies need tools that can protect their data and help them use it safely and effectively.

Microsoft Purview: Seamlessly secure and confidently activate your data estate

With the rise of AI and new tools to analyze data, companies are starting to focus on using data responsibly. Microsoft thinks the best way to do this is by using tools that can both protect your data and help you use it effectively. Security and data governance should be part of the plan from the very beginning, not an afterthought.

In 2022, Microsoft introduced Microsoft Purview, a tool that helps you protect, manage, and keep your data compliant. The expert teams have been working hard to make this tool even better. Microsoft Purview is a one-stop shop for data security and governance. It uses AI to help you classify, protect, and audit your data, all while making sure you follow the rules. It’s a powerful tool that makes it easy to keep your data safe and use it effectively.

New Microsoft Features: A Safer Data Future

Microsoft introduces new features to help you keep your data safe, especially when using tools like Microsoft Fabric.

Here’s what’s new:

• Easy-to-use protection: Regular users can now apply labels to their data in Microsoft Fabric, just like they do in Microsoft 365.
• Consistent security: Admins can now apply these labels to both structured and unstructured data, including data stored in Azure and Amazon S3.
• Enhanced threat detection: Security teams can now use Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management to identify potential threats by analyzing data activity within Microsoft Fabric.
