Microsoft’s Network Data Security helps protect sensitive company data when people use AI tools, cloud apps, or websites outside of managed Microsoft 365 apps. It checks data in real time as it is being uploaded, pasted, or shared, and can block it if it breaks company rules. It works by combining Microsoft Purview’s data protection with Microsoft Entra’s network control to make sure sensitive information doesn’t accidentally leave the organization.
Microsoft recently introduced manual incident creation in preview for Defender to help security teams investigate threats beyond automated detections.

Until now, organizations needed an Office 365 Extra File Storage add-on for additional SharePoint storage, which required fixed-capacity purchases that often led to unused costs.

This allows organizations to pay only for the additional storage they consume beyond their included quota. In this blog, we’ll explore Microsoft’s pay-as-you-go SharePoint storage model and how it can help optimize costs.
The introduction of Device Soft Delete in Microsoft Entra ID (Public Preview) brings a much-needed recovery layer for device management. Instead of being permanently deleted, devices now move into a soft-deleted state, allowing admins a 30-day window to restore them when needed.
