Message Summary

We are adding new fields in Microsoft Exchange to help prevent data loss. With these updates, admins can see more details about the attachments that are present in the email that violated the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) rules, including name, size, and labels. There will be new fields for the attachments that are in emails when they match a DLP rule that will be displayed in Activity Explorer, DLP Alerts, and Microsoft Theft Protection (MTP) Alerts. With these updates, you can get better insights into the violation that has occurred even before you start getting into the finer details of the issue.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 369015

When this will happen:

Preview: We will begin rollout in mid-February 2024 and expect to complete in late February 2024. 

Standard Release: We will begin rollout in late February 2024 and expect to complete in late March 2024.

How this will affect your organization:
