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 streamline daily data security work and help security teams focus on real risks instead of noise. They are powered by Security Copilot and currently include:
- Data Security Triage Agent – helps you manage and prioritize Insider Risk and DLP alerts.
- Data Security Posture Agent – helps you uncover hidden data risks and improve your overall data security posture.
Together, these agents help you:
- Cut through alert overload and reduce time spent on false positives.
- Quickly understand which incidents need attention and why.
- Use natural-language queries to explore data risk and posture.
- Apply labels and trigger security policies directly from insights to proactively prevent data loss.
The result is a faster, more efficient way to manage data security inside Microsoft Purview, while staying ahead of emerging threats.
How does the Data Security Triage Agent reduce alert overload?
The Data Security Triage Agent is built to help teams rethink how they handle Insider Risk and DLP alerts. Instead of manually sifting through every notification, you can use the agent to:
- Cut through alert overload by automatically highlighting the incidents that are most likely to be real risks.
- Eliminate false positives more quickly, so analysts spend less time on low-value investigations.
- See clear, contextual reasoning behind each alert, so you understand why it was raised and what to look at next.
- Stay in control with automated user outreach, helping you follow up with users directly from the workflow.
By reshaping the triage process, the agent helps security teams act faster on meaningful alerts and reduce time spent on routine or low-risk events.
What does the Data Security Posture Agent actually do?
The Data Security Posture Agent helps you reimagine how you discover and address data risks that are not obvious at first glance. Its core capabilities include:
- Natural-language queries – you can ask questions about your data security posture in everyday language to uncover risks that may be hidden behind complex context.
- Risk discovery – when the agent finds issues, it surfaces them as actionable insights rather than raw signals.
- Direct remediation – from those insights, you can apply sensitivity labels and trigger security policies immediately, without jumping between tools.
This approach helps you move from reactive investigation to proactive prevention of data loss, using the same Microsoft Purview environment you already rely on for data security and compliance.

We’re a Microsoft Cloud Solution Specialist providing IT services and licensing to businesses principally within the UK. Over the course of the last 20 or so years we’ve built a small business from scratch, having literally knocked doors to acquire early customers and working on referral ever since, to become what is today approximately 8 employees, with a solid recurring revenue and a modest profit, derived from around 150 customers. These customers are largely across multiple industries, however, we are particularly strong with the Accounting, Finance and Charitable sectors, but typically share one thing in common; being owner-managed. Those owner-managers benefit in various ways from either some or all of the following services owing to our long term experience and skillsets, in no particular order:
- IT Support under a sensible, working, Service Level Agreement (SLA)
- Appropriate Microsoft Office 365 licensing
- IT Security solutions
- Connectivity
- Hosted Voice, Telephony & Mobile
- Professional Services
Each area typically requires a more detailed conversation in order it can be right-sized to suit your working practices and plans. At a glance, it is clear that you should consider reviewing your perimeter security and implementing something a little more appropriate than the existing device, given your shape and size. We're happy to give you some time on the subject to help you gain an understanding and put you in a better position to make a choice, just drop us a line and we can organise something to suit…
