Overview

SCU Cost Estimate This agent typically consumes 0.2 – 1.5 SCUs per analysis run, depending on the number of Insider Risk Management (IRM) alerts and the depth of enrichment (Quick, Standard, or Deep mode). Larger environments with high alert volumes or extended lookback windows may consume more SCUs.

Introduction

Insider Risk Profiler helps security teams focus on what truly matters by turning noisy insider risk alerts into actionable intelligence. Instead of manually correlating signals across Purview, Defender, and Entra, the agent builds a unified risk profile that highlights which alerts pose genuine insider threats and why.

It automatically enriches IRM alerts with identity risk, device compliance, and data protection signals, creating a prioritized queue with clear scoring and contextual narratives. The result: faster triage, fewer false positives, and confident remediation decisions.

What It Does

• Enriches Purview Insider Risk alerts with Defender identity, device, and activity telemetry

• Prioritizes alerts based on composite scoring (identity, activity, and data risk)

• Reduces alert fatigue by highlighting explainable risk factors and policy tuning insights

• Correlates behavior across email, file, and cloud activities to reveal exfiltration patterns

• Flags enrichment gaps and suggests improvements to telemetry coverage

• Provides pre-built investigation and notification templates for rapid response

Use Cases

1. Focusing on the Right Alerts

Hundreds of IRM alerts can appear daily, but not all deserve equal attention. Insider Risk Profiler applies transparent scoring logic, surfacing high-priority alerts involving risky users, compromised accounts, or sensitive data exposure. Analysts instantly know what to investigate first.

2. Accelerating Investigations

Traditional IRM triage requires jumping between multiple portals and data sources. This agent consolidates identity, activity, and DLP data into a unified behavioral timeline. Analysts see what happened, when, and why it matters, saving hours of manual correlation.

3. Reducing Noise and Alert Fatigue

Overly broad policies often trigger false positives. Insider Risk Profiler identifies benign or low-impact patterns, recommends policy tuning adjustments, and highlights redundant alert sources, letting your team focus on true insider threats.

4. Enhancing Confidence and Transparency

Security leaders often ask: Why is this alert high priority? The agent explains the score by listing contributing factors such as recent off-hours logons, DLP violations, or failed authentication attempts. This improves trust in automation and scoring models.

5. Standardizing Response and Communication

From analyst notes to user or manager notifications, the agent generates structured response templates with consistent tone and legal phrasing, ensuring that every incident is handled swiftly and compliantly.

Benefits You Get

• Explainable, prioritized alert queue with clear scoring factors

• Policy optimization recommendations to cut benign alerts

• Condensed behavioral timeline linking risk signals across sources

• Standardized, ready-to-use communication templates

• Clear enrichment gap analysis to improve telemetry coverage
