Microsoft Purview | Information Protection: Auto-labeling for Microsoft Azure Storage and Azure SQL

Microsoft Purview | Information Protection will soon offer Auto-labeling for Microsoft Azure Storage and Azure SQL, providing automatic labeling of assets based on specific conditions. The Public Preview will roll out in mid-November 2024, followed by General Availability in late March 2025. Admins can configure new policies, and some existing capabilities will be discontinued. This feature will allow admins to create new auto-labeling policies for Azure Storage and Azure SQL Server that automatically label assets if specific sensitive information types are detected in a column or asset within the defined conditions. However, some capabilities, such as the ability to extend labeling to assets in the Microsoft Purview Data Map and schematized data assets as an applicable label scope, will no longer be available. Admins can use protection policies to add access control settings to data assets once labeling has been applied.

Keep an eye out for this new feature in mid-November 2024, if you're an Azure user looking to automate labeling of your data assets.
