Default Sensitivity Labels Activation
If organizations activate default sensitivity labels without proper preparation, users may face confusion regarding the labeling of meetings, leading to potential misclassification of sensitive information.

explanation for non-techies**

Microsoft is enhancing its Purview Information Protection by expanding the use of default sensitivity labels and policies to include meetings, in addition to files and emails. Imagine sensitivity labels as digital sticky notes that help classify and protect your information. Previously, these sticky notes could only be attached to files and emails, but now they can also be used for meetings. This means that when you schedule a meeting, you can apply a label that specifies how sensitive the information discussed should be treated.

This change will automatically roll out between mid-October and mid-November 2024. Think of it like a software update on your smartphone that happens in the background without you needing to do anything. Organizations that decide to use these default labels will see this new capability added without affecting any current labels they are already using.

For those responsible for managing these changes, such as IT admins, it's like receiving a new tool in your toolbox. You don't have to do anything to get it, but it's good to know it's there and how it can be used to enhance data protection. Microsoft will provide documentation to help understand and implement these changes effectively.

In summary, this update is designed to make it easier for organizations to protect sensitive information across more areas of their operations, seamlessly integrating into existing processes without requiring additional action from users.
