iboss Enhances Data Security with Microsoft Purview Integration
iboss has recently introduced a significant enhancement with its Inline Data Discovery for Microsoft Purview, aimed at fortifying data protection against breaches. This cutting-edge capability not only extends data loss prevention across all network transfers but also effectively blocks potential data leaks in real-time.
A Commitment to Data Security
Paul Martini, the CEO of iboss, expressed the company's commitment to addressing critical security challenges. He stated, "The Inline Data Discovery for Microsoft Purview integration demonstrates our dedication to resolving tangible security gaps. By merging our inline controls with Microsoft's strengths in data classification, we empower organizations to safeguard their data throughout its journey across networks." This powerful integration offers organizations a robust solution for protecting sensitive information.
Understanding the Microsoft Purview Platform
Microsoft's Purview platform is well-regarded for its capabilities in tracking data within SharePoint, email, and various third-party applications. However, there remains a pressing need for visibility regarding data transfers to unsanctioned external destinations, such as personal Dropbox or Google Drive accounts. This need for monitoring is paramount to avoiding data breaches and adhering to compliance standards.
To address these visibility gaps, iboss has partnered with Microsoft as one of the pivotal SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) partners. The integration of iboss with Microsoft Purview's Inline Data Discovery capability enhances security during network transfers, ensuring sensitive data is not inadvertently exposed during external transfers.
The Mechanics of Inline Data Discovery
With this new capability, iboss collaborates seamlessly with Microsoft Purview policies through an API, integrating them into its extensive inline inspection framework. Positioned directly in the data transfer path, iboss efficiently monitors all outgoing transfers—irrespective of their destinations, whether they are personal cloud storages, applications, or beyond. This level of integration allows iboss to decrypt HTTPS traffic, inspect content, and extract any files or data that align with the established Purview policies.
As an integral part of this operational enhancement, iboss can subsequently submit the analyzed data to Purview, providing Microsoft with comprehensive visibility into all data transfers. Beyond simply monitoring, iboss also enforces inline data loss prevention (DLP) policies alongside Microsoft Purview submissions, thereby actively blocking risky transfers in real-time. This dual functionality—enriching Microsoft Purview's insights while simultaneously preventing data leaks—allows iboss to stand out from other DLP solutions that often lack real-time enforcement and visibility capabilities.
Key Benefits of the Integration
This powerful integration ensures that administrators have detailed visibility into all transfers, categorized by user, group, and destination. Additionally, it translates machine-readable identifiers into comprehensible usernames, making it easier to manage and monitor data movements. With the capacity to identify and enforce policies on labeled documents instantly, iboss amplifies security and compliance across all network activity, ready for deployment in the iboss Complete Package.
Key benefits include:
- Comprehensive control over data transfers.
- Enhanced visibility presented directly on Microsoft Purview dashboards.
- Simplified policy alignment with zero added complexity.
Unlike competing solutions, iboss offers these features as part of a cohesive SASE platform, steering clear of the fragmented approaches that other vendors may adopt. This comprehensive and integrated solution provides IT, network, security, and executive stakeholders with practical means to minimize risk and fulfill compliance requirements without imposing additional overhead.
