Commercial Priority Update
Week of June 11, 2026
Microsoft Purview is introducing an AI-powered DLP Policy Optimizer that analyzes existing policies, rule structures, and activity signals to surface optimization opportunities that are difficult to detect manually. The optimizer identifies overlapping rules, redundant conditions, misconfigurations, and sources of excessive alert noise — presenting prioritized recommendations with supporting evidence and suggested actions. For compliance teams managing large or complex DLP environments, this update reduces the manual effort required to maintain effective policies while improving precision and reducing false positives. The feature is currently in development and expected to begin rolling out in July 2026.

The Microsoft Rights Management (RMS) connector is moving from shared-secret authentication to certificate-based authentication, improving its security posture.
