The era of AI is reshaping industries, enabling unprecedented innovations, and presenting new opportunities for organizations worldwide. But as organizations accelerate AI adoption, many are focused on a growing concern: their current data security and governance practices are not effectively built for the fast-paced AI innovation and ever-evolving regulatory landscape. At Microsoft, we recognize the critical need for an integrated approach to address these risks. In our latest findings, Top 3 Challenges in Securing and Governing Data for the Era of AI, we uncovered critical gaps in how organizations manage data risk. The findings exemplify the current challenges: 91% of leaders are not prepared to manage risks posed by AI 1 and 85% feel unprepared to comply with AI regulations 2 . These gaps not only increase non-compliance but also put innovation at risk. Microsoft Purview has the tools to tackle these challenges head on, helping organizations move to an approach that protects data, meets compliance regulations, and enables trusted AI transformation. We invite you to take this opportunity to evaluate your current practices, platforms, and responsibilities, and to understand how to best secure and govern your organization for growing data risks in the era of AI. Platform fragmentation continues to weaken security outcomes Organizations often rely on fragmented tools across security, compliance, and data teams, leading to a lack of unified visibility and insufficient data hygiene. Our findings reveal the effects of fragmented platforms, leading to duplicated data, inconsistent classification, redundant alerts, and siloed investigations, which ultimately is causing data exposure incidents related to AI to be on the rise 3 . Microsoft Purview offers centralized visibility across your organization’s data estate. This allows teams to break down silos, streamline workflows, and mitigate data leakage and oversharing. With Microsoft Purview, capabilities like data health management and data security posture management are designed to enhance collaboration and deliver enriched insights across your organization to help further protect your data and mitigate risks faster.

How much time does it takes to update secure score on Defender portal?
Hi Folks, I have marked some of the recommended actions on secure score as "third party" or "alternate mitigation". Even after 10 hours I can see action is still marked as "to be addressed". How much time does it take for changes to show up there? And also, how much time will it take to get this add up to my cumulative secure score?
SecureScore Intune Configuration Recommendations without devices
I am trying to maximize our SecureScore for our tenant. We are a Windows/iOS/Android only tenant. No macOS devices at all. SecureScore has a policy "Ensure that mobile devices require complex passwords (Simple Passwords = Blocked)" that says "Note: This recommendation is relevnat only for MacOS." (the misspelling is on the page too). Since we still can get points for this, I made a policy following the instructions perfectly: Prerequisites You have Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps. Next steps To set mobile device management profiles, use the Microsoft Intune admin center: Select Devices, then under Policy select Configuration profiles If there are no policies, select Create Policy. Set a Name for the policy, choose MacOS in the Platform and under Profile type select Device restrictions. Click on the new policy name. Under Configuration settings click Edit. In the Password section, ensure that Simple Passwords is set to Blocked. If there are existing policies, per each MacOS policy - Click on the policy name. Under Configuration settings click Edit. In the Password section, ensure that Simple Passwords is set to Blocked. Note: this setting is only for MacOS policies. However, it has been over a week and we have no points. I opened a ticket with MS #2312010040005555. They've sent me here for community feedback on this. The current belief with support and me is quite simply: "Our understanding is that you will not get SecureScore points if you don't have a MacOS device for this particular configuration". Can I get any validation on this from the community?Secure Score - resolved through alternate mitigation
On recommended actions I set the implementation as "resolved through alternate mitigation" also adding in the notes the alternative used to mitigate Microsoft's advice; when I save and re-enter however I find "to address" configured. Should I just wait until tomorrow or is this anomalous?Improving Server Vulnerability Management Efforts
