File policy/filter ‘policy’ retirement

Originally posted by Microsoft Apr 20, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

We will be retiring the File policy/filter ‘policy’ from the MDA file policy page. Instead, we recommend the utilization of the new Malware policy governance actions, which is where we will continue to invest our development resources.

When this will happen:

We will be rolling out this change beginning in mid-May.

How this affects your organization:

You are receiving this message because our reporting indicates your organization may be using this File policy – policy filter (allows to use Policy as part of a new file policy condition. this feature was used for Malware governance actions, and now we created the solution within ‘malware policy’ conditions.

Users will no longer be able to configure or use file policies that contain the ‘policy’ filter, when this change is implemented.

What you can do to prepare:

Instead of using the current file policy, please create a new Malware policy, with the new Governance action.
