Re: Microsoft Purview Advanced Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Incident Search (2023)

1. Introduction

Microsoft 365 Defender is the Microsoft recommended experience for investigating and remediatingMicrosoft Purview Data Loss Prevention(DLP) incidents. See the previously published step-by-step guide forlearn how to investigate the Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention alert in Microsoft 365 Defender.

As part of the investigative capabilities available in Microsoft 365 Defender,advanced huntingProvides the ability to query raw compliance and security data signals generated by Microsoft 365 to proactively detect known and potential risks in your organization, as well as visualize the attack chain.Advanced search can jumpstart your investigation workflow and help you learn more about the types of alerts you receive on your property. This blog provides guidance on how to get started and take advantage of advanced search for Microsoft Purview DLP investigations. We're sharing example queries for high-value scenarios to help you get started.

2. Introduction

Prerequisite: Get the required CloudAppEvents table, which contains the Microsoft Purview data, to appear in Advanced Hunting byfollowing these steps to integratecom Microsoft 365.

  1. To access advanced search, go tohttps://security.microsoft.comand click onadvanced huntingin the left navigation pane.

Re: Microsoft Purview Advanced Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Incident Search (5)

Understand the applications, devices used by the user in relation to the sensitive data processed

This query will return endpoint events generated by a specific user. It provides a more complete picture when investigating an endpoint DLP event. Update the query by replacing the user's email.

let User = ("user@dom.com");let AppEvents = (CloudAppEvents| where parse_json(tostring(RawEventData.SensitiveInfoTypeData)) != ""| where parse_json(tostring(RawEventData.SensitiveInfoTypeData)) != "[]" | extend sit = parse_json(tostring(RawEventData.SensitiveInfoTypeData))| mv-expand sit| extend UserId = tolower(RawEventData.UserId)| extend SensitiveInfoTypeName = tostring(sit.SensitiveInfoTypeName)| extend document = tostring(RawEventData.ObjectId)); AppEvents| onde UserId == Usuário| extend ObjectId = tostring(RawEventData.ObjectId)| extend DeviceName = tostring(RawEventData.DeviceName)| extend Application = tostring(RawEventData.Application)| resumir count = count() por documento,Aplicativo,SensitiveInfoTypeName,ActionType,DeviceName|ordem por ActionType

Re: Microsoft Purview Advanced Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Incident Search (6)

Identify what actions were performed on a document and the associated sensitivity label.

This query will return all activities on the endpoint, SharePoint, Exchange for your document. Also returns the guid of the label applied to the content. Since the same filename can be used for different documents, you may need to add additional filters to ensure you only return your file. Update the query by adding the file name.

Identify people who joined a Teams meeting that violated a policy

This query will return the list of people who joined the team meeting you specify. Teams results can sometimes arrive a few hours after completion. Replace the subject.

(Video) Endpoint DLP and DLP Incident Management

//Atualizar o Assunto da reunião let subject = ("Reunião Super Secreta"); CloudAppEvents //| onde RawEventData.Operation == "MeetingParticipantDetail" | onde ActionType == "Mensagem enviada" | extend ChatName_ = tostring(RawEventData.ChatName) | onde ChatName_ tem assunto| estender ChatThreadId_ = tostring(RawEventData.ChatThreadId) | join kind=inner ( CloudAppEvents | where RawEventData.Operation == "MeetingDetail" | extend ChatThreadId_ = tostring(RawEventData.ChatThreadId) | extend meetid = tostring(RawEventData.Id) ) em ChatThreadId_ | extend Meeting = tostring(parse_json(tostring(parse_json(tostring(RawEventData.ExchangeMetaData)).To))[0]) | extend HasForeignTenantUsers_ = tostring(parse_json(tostring(RawEventData.ParticipantInfo)))| projeto meetid,ChatName_,HasForeignTenantUsers_| join kind=inner ( CloudAppEvents | where RawEventData.Operation == "MeetingParticipantDetail" | estender meetid = tostring(RawEventData.MeetingDetailId) ) em meetid| extend UPN = tostring(parse_json(tostring(RawEventData.Attendees))[0].UPN)| extend RecipientType = tostring(parse_json(tostring(RawEventData.Attendees))[0].RecipientType)| resumir por UPN,AccountDisplayName,RecipientType,ChatName_,Timestamp,HasForeignTenantUsers_

Identify external user access to the Teams channel that violated the DLP policy

This query will return the details of a Teams channel. It will also let you know if there are external users associated with the channel. Update the query by substituting the Teams name.

//Atualizar a equipe usada pelo Teamvarlet Teamvar = ("The eDiscovery Team");CloudAppEvents| onde Aplicativo == "Microsoft Teams"| extend TeamName = tostring(RawEventData.TeamName)| onde TeamName == Teamvar| extend UPN_ = tostring(parse_json(tostring(RawEventData.Members))[0].UPN)| extend GroupId = tostring(RawEventData.AADGroupId)//adicione abaixo para incluir a adição de usuários//| onde ActionType == "MemberAdded"| extend HasGuestUsers = tostring(parse_json(tostring(RawEventData.ParticipantInfo)).HasGuestUsers)| extend HasUnauthenticatedUsers = tostring(parse_json(tostring(RawEventData.ParticipantInfo)).HasUnauthenticatedUsers)| resumir por TeamName,ActionType,HasGuestUsers,HasUauthenticatedUsers,UPN_

Type of data processed in different regions

If you have a type of sensitive information that should only be processed in a specific geographic region, you can use this query to identify. We are using location data coming from Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps. You can also set up an alert based on this.

let AppEvents = (CloudAppEvents| where parse_json(tostring(RawEventData.SensitiveInfoTypeData)) != ""| where parse_json(tostring(RawEventData.SensitiveInfoTypeData)) != "[]"| extend sit = parse_json(tostring(RawEventData.SensitiveInfoTypeData)) //Expand all sensitive information types on separate lines| mv-expand sit| extend SensitiveInfoTypeName = tostring(sit.SensitiveInfoTypeName)| extend document = tostring(RawEventData.ObjectId)); AppEvents | extend city = City | extend country = CountryCode | extend Level = SensitiveInfoTypeName| summarize count() by level, city, country

Translation table for sensitivity labels for reporting richness

When working with SharePoint and OneDrive cases, it can be nice to be able to add the labels or label changes made to a document. This example lets you convert the GUIDs to the actual names of the labels. It takes a little more work to get the GUIDs.

  1. Conecte-se ao SCC PowerShell (Connect-IPPSsession)
    1. Executar get-label | selecione immutableid,DisplayName,"," | convertto-csv
    2. copy the output

Re: Microsoft Purview Advanced Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Incident Search (7)

  1. Replace your output with the example below in the data table. This allows you to go a little deeper and identify the output of the labeled content with the actual label name. Update the document variable below for the document you are investigating.

You can configure an alert based on the volume of a specific label to determine if a user is moving a large amount of externally labeled data as an example.Parameters to consider are the type of activity (eg file upload or file print), number of activities, file size and time interval.

Use built-in advanced functions to understand anomalies in your DLP data

Foranomaly detection and predictionemachine learningKusto also built this. It can help you analyze irregular patterns and trigger alerts based on that. It can also be used to validate that services are behaving as expected. In the example below, we are identifying anomalies in the number of DLP alerts. You can do the same with using sensitive content and labels to find outliers in your processing.
