Of course, the mobile landscape has changed drastically since then, with an increasing number of organizations and employees relying on mobile technology for secure communications. So the tool is getting an upgrade that includes more advanced enterprise capabilities and support for Microsoft Information Protection native labeling, along with some improved management features. Here’s a deeper look at some of those new features and capabilities.

Sensitivity labels for Outlook mobile emails
