Monitoring and auditing file activity in Microsoft 365 are crucial steps for controlling access to company files and identifying potential security incidents. Microsoft 365’s Audit Log Search allows administrators to track actions such as file access, modifications, sharing events, and permission changes. Setting up alerts for unusual activities like mass downloads or access from unfamiliar locations helps detect potential breaches early. Combining audit logs with Microsoft Defender for Office 365 provides advanced threat detection and response capabilities. Regularly reviewing audit reports ensures compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements. This proactive monitoring approach helps maintain a secure environment where company files are accessed appropriately and suspicious behavior is addressed swiftly.
