Minecraft Education: Learning Cubed Update with Cross-Tenant Multiplayer and Latest Bedrock Features

🚨 The Signal: Minecraft Education now supports cross-tenant multiplayer on dedicated servers. This introduces new external collaboration vectors, requiring review of tenant isolation and data sharing policies to prevent unintended access or data exfiltration.

The Impact

Admins and Security Teams are affected by increased risk of unauthorised data access and exfiltration due to new cross-tenant multiplayer capabilities.

• Admins: Must review and potentially update external collaboration settings to prevent unintended access.
• Security Teams: Face increased risk of data exfiltration and unauthorised access across tenant boundaries.
• End Users: May inadvertently share data with external parties if policies are not properly configured.

The Action

1. Review Microsoft Entra external collaboration settings for B2B direct connect and guest access.
2. Implement Conditional Access policies to restrict access to Minecraft Education from unmanaged devices or locations.
3. Configure Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to monitor and block sensitive data sharing within Minecraft Education.
4. Educate users on the risks of sharing information in cross-tenant multiplayer sessions.
