Addressing insider risks in an increasingly complex data landscape - Microsoft Tech Community
Workplaces in 2022 are being challenged with an increasingly complex and expanded data landscape where corporate data is growing at an ever-faster speed. In this new landscape, organizations are having to consider their data risk appetite, and determine how to best protect both user privacy and sensitive data for their environment.
Many organizations rely heavily on traditional insider risk tools and strategies dating from the days when employees were situated in office parks and worked with far fewer third-party partners, cloud platforms, and different types of devices.
