Security News > 2020 > October > Windows 10: Microsoft's key new security feature helps to protect your information

Over the years, Microsoft has extended DLP to more of Office, covering Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive for Business and Office apps like Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook, as well as third-party applications that incorporate the MIP SDK. Now it's integrated into Windows 10 and the new Edge browser, without needing an additional agent.

You use the new Microsoft 365 compliance center to start managing devices - although you can onboard devices using Group Policy, Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, MDM or a local script.

In a customer survey Microsoft ran in mid-spring, 60% of compliance teams said data leaks were their top concern, due to the pandemic.

Data loss protection is something both security and compliance teams care about, Rayani noted.

"There isn't a one size fits all when it comes to data and how you want to protect and classify and manage it, so there are different levels of controls that you want to enable to do that."
