### Enhanced Visibility into OAuth Apps Connected to Microsoft 365 - General Availability

26+
Defender for Cloud Apps users who use app governance will be able to gain visibility into the origin of OAuth apps connected to Microsoft 365. You can filter and monitor apps that have external origins, to proactively review such apps and improve the security posture of the organization.
27+
28+
The new *Permissions filter and export capabilities allow you to quickly identify apps with specific permissions to access Microsoft 365.
29+
30+
You can now get granular insights into data accessed by apps using legacy EWS API alongside Microsoft Graph. The enhanced coverage of data usage insights enable you to get deeper visibility into apps accessing emails using legacy EWS API.
31+
32+
We're also expanding the coverage of privilege level feature for all popular Microsoft first-party API permissions. The enhanced coverage of privilege level classification enables you to view and monitor apps with powerful permissions into legacy and other non-Graph APIs that have access to Microsoft 365.
