Session Abstract

Sharing platforms like WeTransfer, Dropbox or Google Drive are often seen as the data leakage risk. In reality, they are only the symptom, not the root cause. In this session, we take a step back and rethink Data Loss Prevention from a modern perspective. Instead of focusing on blocking individual websites, we demonstrate how Microsoft Purview shifts DLP from blocking tools to protecting data, using classification, endpoint controls and user-aware policies. We will walk through common data exfiltration scenarios, explain why traditional network-based controls fall short and show how Purview DLP, Endpoint DLP and sensitivity labels work together to create a data-centric security model. You’ll learn how to balance security, usability and governance, including real-world design choices, licensing considerations and user experience. This session is for the professionals who want to move beyond blocking tools and start protecting what really matters: the data itself.
