Microsoft Purview | Insider Risk Management: Adaptive Protection + Conditional Access will be GA

Adaptive Protection integrated with Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access will soon be generally available in Microsoft Purview | Insider Risk Management. The integration will allow organizations to set up policies to enforce Conditional Access actions (such as blocks) on users with insider risk levels in Adaptive Protection. For example, a Conditional Access policy with an Insider Risk Condition can block elevated risk users from all Microsoft 365 applications while allowing minor risk users to continue to access company resources. With this rollout, we will also change the default Insider Risk Conditional Access policy to block elevated risk users from all Microsoft 365 applications instead of all applications.

Organizations will need an Entra ID P2 license to use Adaptive Protection integrated with Conditional Access policies.
