The Real DLP Problem
Agents are starting to change how SOC and data security teams investigate incidents. Instead of pivoting between consoles, analysts ask questions in natural language and get answers that span the tools they already use. But any agent is only as useful as the signals it can reach, and in DLP those signals are scattered across tools that were never built to talk to each other.
DLP is one of the hardest signals to get right, which is why Cyera built the Omni DLP Investigation Agent for Microsoft Security Copilot. The agent extends Security Copilot with the data context, behavioral context, and cross-tool channel correlation that Cyera Omni DLP already runs across customer environments, surfacing it directly inside the Security Copilot. It builds on Cyera's longstanding partnership with Microsoft, which spans Microsoft Azure, Purview, Sentinel, Entra, Copilot,and Copilot Studio.The result for analysts is a Security Copilot that can answer DLP questions it could not answer before. Here is what that looks like in practice.
Start with a Question, Not a Dashboard
DLP incident history summarized by the Omni DLP Investigation Agent
Normally, getting a read on two weeks of DLP activity means logging into multiple tools, pulling reports, and manually correlating data. With Cyera and Security Copilot, it starts with a single prompt: ‘Summarize DLP incidents from the last 14 days.’
- 5 total incidents
- 5 medium severity
- 4 unique users
- All involving email
This summary is possible because Cyera Omni DLP has already analyzed each incident, enriched it with data sensitivity, identity, and destination context, and delivered that DLP intelligence to analysts via Security Copilot. Situational awareness that used to take thirty minutes now takes one prompt.
Instant Prioritization
Policy Violations Prioritized by the Omni DLP Investigation Agent
The next question is: which policy was violated in the high-severity alert?
The Omni DLP Investigation Agent surfaces one high-severity incident, alongside a comparative view of all DLP policy violations in the period: 39 violations on financial data, 6 on internal transport rules, 2 on internal AI. Because Cyera understands what each DLP policy is built to protect, the severity rating reflects judgment about which violations represent true business risk, not the output of a rule engine. Analysts are not just seeing what is urgent. They are seeing why.
Security Copilot identifies a DLP policy violation involving email attachments — not just what happened, but which rule was broken and why it was flagged.
Because Cyera has already enriched the data with classification depth and policy context, the severity rating is trustworthy. Managers aren't just seeing what's urgent. They're seeing why.
Context: The Who, What, Where, and Why Behind the Alert
Behavioral Context Surfaced by the Omni DLP Investigation Agent
A single alert tells you something happened, but not whether the user behind it is doing their job or acting as an insider threat. To know that, you need answers to: ‘Who triggered the alert, and what's the broader context?’
The Omni DLP Investigation Agent provides a full picture of the user and their work: who they are, what role they play, what business activity the alert was tied to, and whether anything about it looks abnormal. By correlating identity, role, organizational context, and historical behavior with the specific incident, the Cyera agent gives the analyst something a rule engine cannot: an interpretation of whether the user is operating inside their normal role or outside it. The analyst's question shifts from "who made a mistake?" to "is this a policy gap, a training need, or a real escalation?"
Justification: Was this activity authorized?
Most flagged activity turns out to be legitimate. Proving that used to take hours.
"Are these email incidents justified?"
Before the question is even asked, Cyera has enriched every incident with user role context, data sensitivity classifications, and business justification signals. Security Copilot assesses the activity and determines most of it is legitimate — data shared across financial, legal, and operational functions that aligns with job responsibilities.
The Cyera Omni DLP Investigation Agent doesn't just surface activity. It helps you interpret intent.

Detailed Forensics with the Omni DLP Investigation Agent
When a specific incident warrants deeper scrutiny, the same workflow extends into the full investigation chain.
"Show endpoint DLP incidents, including devices and file paths."
Cyera's telemetry supports the full depth of the investigation — device-level and file path data available for export when a complete picture is required. The experience stays consistent however deep it goes:
Ask → Understand → Act
The Outcome: Faster, Smarter Decisions
By the end of the investigation, the picture is clear:
- The majority of activity is appropriate and justified
- One user and one department require further review
- There’s an opportunity for targeted training, not blunt enforcement
Most importantly, this conclusion is reached quickly and confidently.
With this integration, our joint customers gain:
- Data depth over raw alerts — Cyera's enrichment makes every Security Copilot response meaningful, not just a summary.
- Context and correlation — Understand not just what happened, but whether it actually matters.
- Focus over fatigue — Spend time on real risk. The signal-to-noise ratio improves from the moment data enters the pipeline.
DLP tools tell you something happened. Cyera Omni DLP tells Microsoft Security Copilot what it means — and what to do next.
Together, they give security analysts faster insight, clearer prioritization, and decisions they can stand behind.
Cyera + Microsoft Security Copilot: DLP Integration FAQs
Q: How do I reduce DLP alert noise from tools such as Microsoft Purview?
A. ) Cyera Omni DLP analyzes the alerts from your DLP tools and enriches them with the context analysts need to tell true risk from noise. It answers these questions: what data is involved, how sensitive it is, where it was going, and should it be shared. For Microsoft Purview customers, the Omni DLP Investigation Agent delivers that context directly inside Microsoft Security Copilot, so analysts can triage Purview DLP incidents faster and with more confidence.
Q: How does the Cyera Omni DLP investigation Agent work with Microsoft Purview?
A.) The Investigation Agent accelerates the value of Microsoft Purview by pulling in DLP intelligence from Cyera Omni DLP, which enriches Purview DLP alerts with data sensitivity, user role, behavioral history, and organizational context. Analysts get a richer, more complete picture of each Purview DLP incident directly inside Security Copilot.
Q: What is the Cyera Omni DLP Investigation Agent for Microsoft Security Copilot?
A.) It is a Microsoft Security Copilot agent built by Cyera that pulls DLP intelligence from Cyera Omni DLP and delivers it inside Security Copilot. Analysts investigate DLP incidents in natural language, with enriched context from Cyera, without leaving their Security Copilot workflow.
Q: Do I need to replace my existing DLP tools to use Cyera Omni DLP?
A.) No. Cyera Omni DLP sits above your existing DLP architecture, providing centralized analysis and prioritization. Teams continue using their current DLP controls, including Microsoft Purview, while the Investigation Agent presents enriched intelligence inside Microsoft Security Copilot.
