Microsoft Information Protection announcement roundup
Microsoft Information Protection is a built-in, intelligent, unified, and extensible solution to protect sensitive data across your enterprise – in Microsoft 365 cloud services, on-premises, third-party SaaS applications, and more. It provides a unified set of capabilities for classification, labeling, protection and data loss prevention across Microsoft 365 apps (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook) and Microsoft services like Power BI, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, and Exchange. Here’s an overview of recent capabilities added to the Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) solution. 2020 Announcements [July 21] Announcing public preview of Double Key Encryption for Microsoft 365 Double Key Encryption enables you to protect your highly sensitive data while keeping full control of your encryption key. It uses two keys to protect your data—one key in your control, and a second key is stored securely in Microsoft Azure. Viewing data protected with Double Key Encryption requires access to both keys. Since Microsoft can access only one of these keys, your protected data remains inaccessible to Microsoft, ensuring that you have full control over its privacy and security.

Microsoft 365 customers only need to create DLP policies once in the Microsoft 365 compliance center. They can then apply the policies to Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive for Business, and now – to endpoints as well.

Labels and protection actions like file encryption will persist when sensitive data is exported out of Power BI to Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF files, and when it moves between Power BI and other solutions like Microsoft Teams Read the blog: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-security-and/announcing-general-availability-of-microsoft-information/ba-p/1449183 [May 28] General availability of automatic classification with sensitivity labels in Microsoft 365 services Relying on users alone to manually classify corporate data using labels is not sufficient. The scalable approach is to automatically discover, label, and protect sensitive data. Auto classification with sensitivity labels, along with Policy Simulator, is a powerful capability that enable organizations to automatically designate eligible Excel, PowerPoint, Word files, and emails as sensitive in a scalable way.

Data loss is non-negotiable for your business. Not only can it cost your company huge amounts of time and money, exposure of sensitive information and assets can have enormous legal and compliance implications, too. Safely sharing and accessing content is becoming increasingly important as the business world shifts to remote work. Users need to get to their files and folders from any number of places and devices, while admins need continued control over how that content is disseminated. OneDrive and SharePoint have the security and monitoring features required by both groups. We are delivering a free webinar to demonstrate how Microsoft 365, OneDrive, and SharePoint help users stay productive, keep your data secure and private, reduce the stress on IT during compliance or litigation issues while giving admins the tools to manage and monitor content. This session is followed by an “Ask me anything” session at https://aka.ms/OneDriveAMA Webinar details Date: 6/30/2020 Time: 9:00 am PT Agenda: Introduction Manage sensitive data and external sharing Govern information protection and drive comprehensive monitoring. Maintain ownership and compliance Conclusion Please register for the free webinar here.898Views0likes0Comments
