summary for non-techies**
Microsoft Purview's Endpoint Data Loss Protection (DLP) is introducing a feature in March 2025 that automatically applies protection to unscannable file types, ensuring they are safeguarded even if they can't be fully examined, with admins able to configure this in policy settings.
Direct effects for Operations**
Unscannable File Types Protection
The introduction of blanket protection for unscannable file types may lead to confusion among users regarding which files are protected and which are not, potentially resulting in unauthorized data sharing or loss.
