Triage and investigation improvements (preview): To enhance triage and investigation, we’re including historical insights for Exchange Online, and will also input triggering events into Activity explorer to assist in the triage process.

Enhancements including historical insight for Exchange Online, ingest triggering events into Activity explorer.

Policy customization enhancements (preview): We’re introducing the ability to fine-tune policies to trigger on precise exfiltration events. These precise exfiltration event triggers can be added to your data leak and departing employee data theft policies based on specific thresholds met for number of documents exfiltrated including upload to cloud, copy to USB and emailing outside the organization.
