Take Action: Out-of-band update released to address an issue signing in to apps with a Microsoft account
Microsoft has identified an issue affecting signing in to apps using a Microsoft account. After installing the March 2026 Windows security update, some users might be unable to sign in to Microsoft apps and services. During sign‑in, users might see a “no internet” error even when the device has a working internet connection. This issue affects only Microsoft account sign‑in scenarios; organizations using Microsoft Entra ID for app authentication are not affected. An out-of-band (OOB) update was released today, March 21, 2026, to address this issue. This cumulative update includes all protections and improvements from the March 2026 Windows security update released March 10, 2026. This OOB update is available for Windows 11, versions 25H2 and 24H2 devices that receive standard Windows updates. It can be installed through Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Catalog. For more information, refer to the KB article KB5085516 (OS Builds 26200.8039 and 26100.8039) Out-of-band. Message ID: MC1258087

Microsoft Purview: Data Security Investigations – analyze files tied to endpoint DLP alerts
Microsoft Purview’s Data Security Investigations will include endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) events as a queryable source, enabling admins to analyze related files automatically. Rolling out April–May 2026, this feature enhances investigation efficiency using AI tools without user impact or required admin action. Introduction We’re introducing endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) events as a queryable data source in Data Security Investigations (DSI) in Microsoft Purview. With this update, administrators can build endpoint DLP queries directly in DSI using filters such as date range, and DSI will automatically pull files associated with those events into the investigation for analysis. This integration helps security teams examine endpoint DLP activity at scale, reducing time and effort spent triaging individual alerts and improving the ability to identify patterns and potential data exfiltration scenarios. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 558547. When this will happen Public Preview: Rollout begins in late April 2026 and completes in mid‑May 2026. General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout begins in mid‑May 2026 and completes in mid‑May 2026. How this will affect your organization Who is affected Admins and security investigators using Data Security Investigations (DSI) and endpoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. What will happen A new Endpoint DLP tab will appear in the DSI search experience, alongside the existing Query Builder and Audit tabs. Admins and investigators can query endpoint DLP events using date range filters (additional filters coming soon). Files associated with matching endpoint DLP events will be automatically added to the investigation scope for analysis using DSI’s AI‑powered tools. This feature will appear automatically for eligible tenants when rollout completes. No admin action is required to enable it. There is no user impact. What you can do to prepare No action is required. Optionally, you may: Review how endpoint DLP query capabilities work within DSI. Update internal documentation for alert triage and investigation workflows, if applicable. Inform security teams and endpoint DLP administrators about this new capability.

Microsoft Purview DLP: Unmanaged cloud app discovery and protection with Microsoft Purview and Palo Alto Prisma Access
Microsoft Purview now integrates with Palo Alto Prisma Access to extend data loss prevention to network traffic involving unmanaged cloud apps. The integration, available from mid-2026, requires admin activation and supports existing Purview policies for enhanced data security and compliance monitoring. Microsoft Purview network data security now integrates with Palo Alto Prisma Access, extending discovery and protection to network traffic. With this integration, new and existing Palo Alto Prisma Access customers can configure Microsoft Purview collection and data loss prevention policies to discover and protect sensitive data shared with unmanaged cloud apps via HTTP/HTTPS, using the same classifiers, sensitive information types, and sensitivity labels used in other Purview policies. This integration also further enriches Purview Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), Insider Risk Management (IRM), enables data security & compliance for AI interactions, and more. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 558939. When this will happen: Public preview: We will begin rolling out in mid-April 2026 and expect to complete by mid-May 2026. General availability: We will begin rolling out in late October 2026 and expect to complete by late November 2026. How this affects your organization: Who is affected: Organizations using Microsoft Purview. Customers using or planning to use Palo Alto Prisma Access. Microsoft 365 administrators managing Purview collection and DLP policies. What will happen: The Palo Alto Prisma Access integration will automatically appear in the Purview DLP Security Store as the feature rolls out. The integration is not enabled by default. Administrators must explicitly enable it before it can be used in policies. Once enabled, administrators can use existing or new Purview collection and DLP policies to inspect and protect data detected through Palo Alto Prisma Access network traffic. Existing network data security collection and DLP policies will automatically apply after the integration is enabled. There is no impact to users unless administrators enable the integration and configure network data security policies in Microsoft Purview. What you can do to prepare: Confirm that Purview pay-as-you-go is enabled and configured for your tenant, as it is required to use this integration. Learn more: Enable Microsoft Purview pay-as-you-go […]

Low-Key Debut for Entra ID Backup and Recovery
Microsoft released the preview of the Entra ID Backup and Recovery solution to tenants on 19 March 2026. Although the software is functional in tenants, Microsoft didn’t make a big announcement. We've spent the last few days testing backup and recovery and put together the major points about the new solution, which is doubtless going to be welcomed by tenants if not by backup ISVs.
