•  🆕 Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Data Loss Prevention – Detection of True file type in EXO DLP – Traditionally, Exchange has relied solely on the file extension (e.g., .docx, .pdf) to identify the type of an attachment.

With this update, even if a files extension is altered, Exchange will evaluate the actual content of the file to determine its true type. This ensures that policies based on file type such as File extension remain effective and secure, even in cases of renamed or disguised attachments. This improvement provides customers with a more robust and reliable way to enforce compliance and security rules around file sharing.
