Microsoft Purview: Inline protection for sensitive data shared over the network with non-Microsoft SASE integrations
Services
Affected Platforms
Summary
Microsoft Purview DLP will integrate with iboss and Netskope SASE platforms by mid-November 2025 to enable inline network traffic inspection and protection of sensitive data across 35,000+ cloud apps. Admins must configure integration and manage alerts via Purview and Microsoft Defender.
Details
Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is being extended to the network layer through integration with iboss Zero-Trust SASE Platform or Netskope One SASE Platform. This update will be generally available starting mid-November 2025. It enables organizations to intercept and inspect traffic inline and enforce actions based on Purview DLP policy conditions. This helps prevent sensitive data from being shared with untrusted cloud applications through browsers, apps, APIs, add-ins, and more—including generative AI platforms, cloud storage, and content-sharing services—while managing alerts and incidents through Purview and Microsoft Defender. If configured, these signals also inform user risk indicators in Insider Risk Management.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 522095.
When this will happen:General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will begin in mid-November 2025 and is expected to complete by mid-December 2025.
