Global Secure Access guidance maps V1 web filtering policies into V2 rules

The period’s main substantive update is a new Global Secure Access how-to for the guided migration of V1 web content filtering policies to V2. It explains policy conversion, security-profile edge cases, and preserved settings. A Web Filtering page now links to the procedure. Separately, Identity Protection documentation clarifies device-block remediation wording; no new availability, retirement, or product launch is established by these changes.

  New guided procedure covers V1-to-V2 web filtering migration

  The new Global Secure Access article explains eligible and ineligible security profiles, migration steps, naming, and how V1 policies become rules in a single enabled V2 policy while preserving destinations, actions, and priorities. It also notes that evaluation across multiple security profiles differs between versions and that profiles already containing V2 policies require manual handling.

  Web Filtering documentation now links directly to the migration procedure

  The Web Filtering fundamentals page adds a link to the V1-to-V2 migration article. This is a navigation and documentation update; the supplied evidence does not establish a separate product-behavior change.

• ID Protection · Authentication

  Identity Protection documentation narrows the device-block remediation wording

  The updated policy documentation now states that disabling the Entra device blocks new token issuance, revokes user sessions, and prompts the user to sign in again. It removes the previous mention of revoking existing device-bound refresh tokens; the change is documented as wording clarification, not a newly announced behavior change.
