Microsoft Purview: Credential Scanning in Data Security Posture Agent Beta
Data as of 2 hours ago (26 October 2026)
This item was no longer present in the roadmap feed as of 18 October 2026. Microsoft removes entries for several reasons — cancelled, merged into another entry, or reorganised — and the feed does not say which.
Description
We're expanding the Data Security Posture Agent with a new credential scanning capability. Discover exposed credentials and data security risks across scoped locations. Assign scanning tasks to the agent, track progress across stages, and take action on prioritized findings. The agent scans selected data locations, analyzing scoped files to detect credentials, such as Microsoft Entra user credentials, private keys, and API tokens. Each finding includes a risk score, AI-generated insights, confidence score, and credential category so you can review, confirm, and act from a single task board view. Updated October 5, 2026: We have decided not to move forward with this change at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience.
