Summary:
Microsoft 365 Copilot for Security in Data Loss Prevention now includes Policy Insights, enabling admins to understand and align DLP policies better. Public Preview begins mid-November 2024, with General Availability in early January 2025. Not designed for US government clouds. Admins need Security Computer Units to prepare.
Details:
As part of Microsoft 365 Copilot for Security in Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Policy Insights helps admins understand DLP policies and its constructs. This enhancement enables DLP admins to gain insights on coverage of policies on pivots like location, classifiers, and notifications.
DLP admins can get these insights on all the policies or on a few selected policies. They will be able to use prompts to gain a deeper level view of how a policy is configured for their digital landscape. This helps them align their data posture on a regular basis and make corrections to policy posture as needed.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 466740.
