summary for non-techies**
Microsoft is enhancing its Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) on Windows devices by expanding the file types it can scan from about 40 to over 100, including BZ2 and EML, detecting labels on non-standard files, examining metadata for sensitive information, scanning embedded documents, and detecting sensitive data in protected PDF forms, all without requiring changes to existing security settings.
Direct effects for Operations**
Increased Scanning Capabilities
The enhancement will allow for scanning of over 100 file types, which may lead to increased processing time and resource consumption on Windows devices, potentially slowing down system performance.
