Summary:

Public preview starts mid-November 2025, enabling granular policy enforcement across unmanaged cloud apps, with centralized alert management in Purview and Defender.

Details:
[Introduction]
To help organizations better protect sensitive files in transit, we're introducing a public preview for extending Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to the network through integration with Entra Global Secure Access Internet Access. Through this integration, organizations can intercept and inspect file traffic at the network layer and enforce actions based on DLP policy conditions. It helps prevent sensitive files from being shared with untrusted cloud applications through browsers, apps, APIs, add-ins, and more-including generative AI platforms, cloud storage, and content-sharing services-while managing alerts and incidents through Purview and Microsoft Defender.
This message is associated with Roadmap ID 522096.
[When this will happen:]
Public preview: Rollout begins mid-November 2025 and completes by mid-December 2025.
General availability: Rollout begins mid-June 2026 and completes by mid-July 2026.
