Hi Jackson,
Your tutorial was very useful and I thank you for that.
Do you think it is possible to exclude files based on the name file in the policy ? For instance, I would like to generate an alert when I detect a file containing « password » but exclude the files with « Policy » in their file name.

I agree, there are too many false positives with the method shared but it is a great start. Is there a way that we can we make it more intelligent and accurate?

@@andreastoh What about using the General Password Policy in Microsoft Purview? That is already setup.
