What can the Microsoft Purview information protection solution safeguard?

The Microsoft Purview information protection solution is specifically designed to manage and protect sensitive data within an organization. It focuses on safeguarding information by allowing organizations to classify, label, and protect their data based on its sensitivity level. This capability ensures that sensitive information is not exposed to unauthorized users, thereby maintaining confidentiality and data integrity.

By implementing controls such as encryption, access restrictions, and audit trails, Microsoft Purview helps organizations defend against data breaches and complies with regulations regarding data protection. This makes it particularly effective for addressing issues related to unauthorized access and exposure of sensitive data.

In contrast, other options focus on security aspects that are managed by different Microsoft products or services. For example, protecting computers from zero-day exploits and safeguarding users from phishing attempts typically involves different security measures, such as endpoint protection solutions and threat detection systems. Protecting files from malware and viruses generally falls under antivirus software and endpoint security functions rather than information protection specifically aimed at sensitive data management.
