Summary:
Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) will be integrated into Microsoft Edge for Business on unmanaged devices.

No action is required before rollout.
Details:
Coming soon: Microsoft Purview | Data Loss Prevention (DLP) will be integrated in the Microsoft Edge browser to offer DLP protections that apply directly in the Edge browser and target scenarios where users on unmanaged (or bring-your-own/BYO) Windows desktop devices and Mac desktop devices are sharing data to or exfiltrating data from organization-managed cloud apps (apps that use Microsoft Entra authentication for user sign-in).

Direct effects for Operations**
Data Security Risks
