Summary:
Microsoft 365 Apps users can now use Double Key Encryption (DKE) to protect sensitive content. DKE ensures that only the user can decrypt protected content. Sensitivity labels configured with DKE are available for use in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. General availability is scheduled for mid-August 2023 for the Current channel and mid-September 2023 for the Monthly Enterprise channel. Organizations that have enabled co-authoring for files encrypted with sensitivity labels can now deploy DKE labels. Users can benefit from M365's collaboration tools even if some of their documents require DKE content. Organizations already using DKE with the Azure Information Protection add-in can enable co-authoring for encrypted files and plan their migration to the built-in labeling client before the add-in is retired in April 2024.
