Entra ID Global Secure Access Web Content Filtering Missing Key Risky Categories?

Question

Hello,

The " Web content filtering policies", in "Entra ID Global Secure Access" console, seems to be missing critical Web Content Filtering Categories such as "anonymizers" , "Artificial Intelligence" and "proxy avoidance", etc.  We are getting around by manually creating FQDN for known risky target of such type, however, I would suggest these are critical categories that should be included for protection/for SASE. I understand that 3rd party LLM or Artificial Intelligence can be blocked through the M365 Microsoft Edge policy, however, there are situations where likes of Google Chrome or Firefox not phased out or are still in service.

Have I missed something or those "anonymizers" , "Artificial Intelligence" and "proxy avoidance", etc. are still not added to the GSA?

Thank you.

Hello @CENSS-Ken,

Thanks for your patience. 

We have an update from the internal team that as of now Artificial Intelligence is already included in the filtering categories as shown in the document below.

They are planning to bring other categories like "anonymizers" and "proxy avoidance", etc soon. However, there is no exact ETA at this time, if in case we get to hear about this earlier, we will provide an update. 

I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
