Learn about and configure insider risk management browser signal detection

Important

Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, data leakage and security violations. Insider risk management enables customers to create policies to manage security and compliance. Built with privacy by design, users are pseudonymized by default, and role-based access controls and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.

In Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management, browser signal detection is used for:

Browsers and templates

Web browsers are often used by users to access both sensitive and non-sensitive files within an organization. Insider risk management allows your organization to detect and act on browser exfiltration signals for all non-executable files viewed in Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome browsers. With these signals, analysts and investigators can quickly act when any of the following risky activities are performed by in-scope policy users when using these browsers:

  • Files copied to personal cloud storage
  • Files printed to local or network devices
  • Files transferred or copied to a network share
  • Files copied to USB devices
  • Browsing potentially risky websites

Signals for these events are detected in Microsoft Edge using built-in browser capabilities and using the Microsoft Compliance Extension add-on. In Google Chrome, customers use the Microsoft Compliance Extension for signal detection.

The following table summarizes identified risk activities and extension support for each browser:

Detected activities Microsoft Edge Google Chrome
Files copied to personal cloud storage Native Extension
Files printed to local or network devices Native Extension
Files transferred or copied to a network share Extension Extension
Files copied to USB devices Extension Extension
Browsing potentially risky websites Extension Extension

The following table summarizes activities by template:

Detected activities Data theft by departing users Data leaks Risky browser usage
Files copied to personal cloud storage Yes Yes No
Files printed to local or network devices Yes Yes No
Files transferred or copied to a network share Yes Yes No
Files copied to USB devices Yes Yes No
Browsing potentially risky websites No No Yes

Forensic evidence

For forensic evidence, all types of browsing activities can be captured; you're not limited to the browsing indicators of the Risky browser usage template. You can specify the desktop apps and websites that you want to include or exclude. To capture browsing activity for forensic evidence, you must install the extensions as described in this topic, and you must also turn on at least one risky browsing indicator in the insider risk settings.

Common requirements

Before installing the Microsoft Edge add-on or Google Chrome extension, ensure that devices for in-scope policy users meet the following requirements:

  • Latest Windows 10 x64 build is recommended, minimum Windows 10 x64 build 1809 for signal detection support. Browser signal detection isn't currently supported on non-Windows devices.
  • Current Microsoft 365 subscription with insider risk management support.
  • Devices must be onboarded to the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.

For specific browser configuration requirements, see the Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome sections later in this article.

Test and verify insider risk management browser signal detections

  1. Create an insider risk management policy with device indicators enabled.

  2. To test signal detection for files copied to personal cloud storage, complete the following steps from a supported Windows device:

    • Open a file sharing website (Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, etc.) with the browser type that you've configured for signal detection.
    • With the browser, upload a non-executable file to the website.
  3. To test signal detection for files printed to local or network devices, files transferred or copied to a network share, and files copied to USB devices, complete the following steps from a supported Windows device:

    • Open a non-executable file directly in the browser. The file must be opened directly through File Explorer or opened in a new browser tab for viewing rather than a webpage.
    • Print the file.
    • Save the file to a USB device.
    • Save the file to a network drive.
  4. After your first insider risk management policy was created, you'll start to receive alerts from activity indicators after about 24 hours. Check the Alerts dashboard for insider risk management alerts for the tested activities.
