At Microsoft Security, we understand how challenging it is to protect your most important asset, your data, in today\u2019s threat landscape. You\u2019re faced with evolving challenges\u2014from empowering employees for greater productivity to eliminating gaps in your infrastructure\u2014all while trying to protect your data across a hybrid work environment. And in the current economic climate, getting maximum value from your existing security investments is paramount. That\u2019s why, in the past year, we\u2019ve further enhanced our data protection and data governance products to better fit your needs. The results include two integrated and powerful solutions: Microsoft Purview<\/a> and Microsoft Priva<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this year\u2019s Microsoft Ignite<\/a> event, I co-hosted a special presentation on how your security and compliance teams can better manage risk, govern your data (wherever it resides), and maintain compliance. We also shared new product updates and insights to help your team get the most from your Microsoft security investments, as well as announced an exciting new capability that integrates Microsoft Purview natively within Adobe Acrobat. This type of extensible, multicloud, and multiplatform protection allows you to get more from the tools you already have. In this blog post, we\u2019ll look at some of those scenarios where Microsoft Purview and Priva can help simplify data governance across your enterprise today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Adobe and Microsoft Purview integration delivers seamless security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Purview\u2019s mission is to help customers protect their entire data estate: that includes non-Microsoft environments as well. At this year\u2019s Ignite presentation, we demonstrated a new capability that integrates Microsoft Purview Information Protection<\/a> natively within the desktop version of Adobe Acrobat<\/a>\u2014accessible directly from the Protect tool. That means users now have the ability to apply and edit information-protection labels and policies directly to PDF documents<\/strong>. This integration brings the same classification, labeling, and protection already available in Microsoft Office<\/a> file formats to PDF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next few months, we\u2019ll continue to add new features that enhance support for PDFs in Acrobat add-ins, as well as for Acrobat Export PDF and mobile versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Streamlining data protection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Data is the lifeblood of your organization. It provides crucial insights that give your business a competitive advantage and empowers your employees to do more. For that reason, it\u2019s critical to protect your data at every stage\u2014from creation to storage\u2014both from external threats and internal risks. That requires creating a layered defense strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first layer of defense: Discover and understand the sensitive data within your organization. <\/strong>You need to know where your data is, who\u2019s accessing it, how it\u2019s being shared and stored, and where it\u2019s traveling. Considering that data storage is forecast to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 19.2 percent from 2020 to 2025, gaining complete visibility over your data estate is crucial.1<\/sup> At this first line of defense, Microsoft Purview Information Protection<\/strong> helps you classify and label your data across your entire data estate, both on-premises and in multicloud environments. By providing a single pane of glass to track and manage your data, Microsoft Purview helps to improve your team\u2019s efficiency while tightening data protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
