Cloud security groups are a core component of Microsoft Entra ID, used to manage access to Azure, SharePoint, Power BI, and other enterprise resources. Recent discussions on WindowsForum highlight the public preview of sensitivity labels for Microsoft Entra cloud security groups, which extend Microsoft Purview governance to static, non-mail-enabled security groups.
