Microsoft Power BI is retiring support for older browsers on September 1, 2024. Users should upgrade their browsers by August 31, 2024, to avoid any disruptions. No admin action is needed, but users should be informed of this change.
Microsoft Viva Insights will introduce design improvements and new leader reports in late June 2024. The update will feature a redesigned home page, new navigation sections, and reports on external focus, new hire onboarding, and meeting cost and quality. A new report on employee engagement with leadership communications and a Pulse survey feature will also be added. These features will be available on desktop, web, and mobile for Viva Insights subscribers. No action is required from admins for the rollout.
Microsoft Teams will soon allow users to manage notifications for individual posts in a channel, with rollouts starting in early July 2024 and completing by early August 2024. This feature will be available on Teams for Desktop and Mac and will be enabled by default. No admin action is required before the rollout.
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.
Microsoft Teams users will be notified when their admin unblocks a requested app, allowing immediate installation and use. This update, associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 389151, will roll out between early and late July 2024 with no admin action required.
The device onboarding page for Endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) has been enhanced with features like IP address search, a ‘Valid user’ filter, and a refined device list excluding non-DLP supported devices like Android. New properties have been added to the export report. Rollout begins June 2024 for Public Preview and August 2024 for General Availability. No admin action is required for the update.
Starting July 1, 2024, the legacy audit functionality for Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Customer Lockbox will reach end of support.
Organizations can use insider risk levels in their Conditional Access policies. This includes some minor experience changes in the Adaptive Protection tab in Insider Risk Management, including adding total counts for Conditional Access policies that use Adaptive Protection and new user insights in the user activity timeline when a user is added or removed from an insider risk level. Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, data leakage, and security violations. Insider Risk Management enables customers to create policies based on their own internal policies, governance, and organizational requirements. Built with privacy by design, users are pseudonymized by default, and role-based access controls and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.
