Explanation

From the Information protection section in Policy management, you can create a File policy (E). File policies are designed to scan and govern files stored in connected cloud apps, allowing you to inspect content using DLP (Data Loss Prevention) rules, detect sensitive data (like credit card numbers or PII), and trigger actions such as quarantine, labeling, or user notification. The other policy types are found in different sections: session policies and access policies are under the Conditional Access category, activity policies are under Threat detection, and OAuth app policies are under their own section. Information protection is exclusively for data-at-rest file scanning.
