INSIGHT

DSPM For AI Is A Targeted Layer

  • DSPM for AI focuses specifically on securing data interactions with AI, distinct from general DSPM's broader data-security view.
  • Treat DSPM for AI as a targeted superset that monitors Copilot, agents, and third-party GenAI usage.
ADVICE

Enable Core Telemetry First

  • Turn on Purview audit, deploy the Purview browser extension, and onboard devices to Purview before monitoring AI usage.
  • Use your management tooling (Intune or similar) to deploy the browser extension and ensure devices are onboarded into Purview.
