Creating and Managing Contacts in Microsoft 365

Managing mail contacts in Microsoft 365's Exchange Online is a crucial skill for efficient communication
with external parties. Mail contacts, distinct from mail users, represent individuals or organizations
outside your domain, and are essential for sending emails without creating internal user accounts.

The lecture begins by emphasizing the importance of permissions, which can come from various roles
such as the Recipient Management role group, the Organization Management role group, or the Mail
Recipients role. Without the required permissions, users must request them from an administrator or
ask them to create mail contacts on their behalf.

The process of creating mail contacts in the new Exchange admin center (EAC) is then explained.
Students are guided to the Microsoft 365 admin center, where they navigate to the Exchange section,
then to Recipients, and finally to Contacts. From there, they can click "+ Add a contact" and configure the

Performing Bulk User Management in the Portal

This lecture introduces the concept of bulk user management in Azure Active Directory (AD), focusing on
the creation, deletion, and restoration of users in bulk.

The lecture begins by explaining that bulk user operations can run for up to one hour, allowing for the
creation of at least 50,000 users. It emphasizes the need to sign in to the Azure AD admin center using
an account with Global Administrator or User Administrator privileges to perform these operations.

For bulk creation, the lecture guides the student through the process of using a CSV template, detailing
the differences between the templates used for creation, deletion, and restoration. It explains how to
verify the users in the Azure portal and provides an example of what the CSV template should look like.

The lecture also covers the process of deleting users in bulk, noting that the template for deletion only
requires one column. It explains the structure of the CSV template, including the version number and
column headings.

The process of bulk restoration is also discussed, with instructions on how to validate the file and submit
the Azure bulk operation to restore deleted users. The lecture highlights the Bulk operation results page,
where students can view the status of pending bulk requests and download the results file if there are
errors.

The lecture concludes with a hands-on lab titled "Bulk Create Users in the Portal," providing an
opportunity for practical application of the concepts covered.

SECTION: Managing Roles in Microsoft 365
An Introduction to Roles in Microsoft 365
When a Microsoft 365 subscription is obtained, various admin roles can be assigned to individuals within
an organization through the Microsoft 365 admin center. These roles correspond to common business
functions and grant permissions for specific tasks. The Microsoft 365 admin center also allows the
management of Azure AD and Microsoft Intune roles, although they are just a subset of what's available
in the Azure AD portal and Intune admin center.

Microsoft recommends security guidelines for assigning roles, such as having only two to four global
administrators, assigning the least permissive role necessary, and requiring multi-factor authentication
(MFA) for administrators. The lecture also explains that users might receive a message in the admin
center if they don't have permission to edit a setting or page, depending on their assigned roles.

The lecture goes on to detail commonly used Microsoft 365 admin center roles and their responsibilities.
These include roles such as Billing administrator, Compliance administrator, Exchange administrator,
Global administrator, and several others, each with specific functions and permissions.

The lecture concludes with instructions on how to assign admin roles to users in Microsoft 365, guiding
the student through the process in the Microsoft 365 admin center. It emphasizes the importance of

Delegating Admin Roles to Partners
In the lecture, the student is introduced to the concept of delegated administration in Microsoft 365, a
process particularly useful for small organizations that may not have specialized in-house IT
administration roles. The lecture explains how an organization can outsource Microsoft 365
administration to a Microsoft partner, allowing them to rely on the partner for specific administrative
functions.

The process begins with the partner sending an email to the organization, asking for permission to act as
their administrator. The organization must open the email, read the terms, and click on a link to
authorize the agreement. Once authorized, the partner, now a delegated administrator, can assign
specific roles to users they create on behalf of the organization.

Delegated administrators are limited to two roles: Full administration, equivalent to the Global
Administrator role, and Limited administration, similar to the Password Administrator role. The lecture
emphasizes the importance of proper management of these roles and recommends best practices.
Organizations are encouraged to plan and create a matrix to distribute roles based on their operational
model, document and audit administration roles and privileges, keep roles up to date, and obtain
management approval for the final administration role design.

Through this lecture, the student gains an understanding of how delegated administration can be a
strategic approach for organizations, especially those without the need for specialized IT administration.
It also highlights the importance of careful planning and adherence to best practices to ensure that the
delegation of admin roles is carried out effectively and securely.

Managing Delegation with Administrative Units

In the lecture, the student is introduced to the concept of administrative units in Azure Active Directory
(AD), a valuable tool for organizations looking to delegate and manage permissions effectively. The
lecture illustrates the use of administrative units through the example of a large university with various
autonomous schools, each having its own IT team.

Administrative units act as containers for Azure AD resources like users, groups, or devices, and they can
be used to restrict permissions to specific parts of an organization. For instance, the Helpdesk
Administrator role can be delegated to regional support specialists, allowing them to manage users only
in their assigned region.

To implement administrative units, an organization requires an Azure AD Premium P1 license for each
administrative unit administrator and an Azure AD Free license for each member. If dynamic membership
rules are used, each member requires an Azure AD Premium P1 license.

Administrative units can be managed using the Azure portal, PowerShell cmdlets and scripts, or the
Microsoft Graph API. They are particularly useful for organizations with global IT departments or
suborganizations that operate semi-autonomously.

The lecture also outlines the process of creating administrative units, adding users, groups, or devices as
members, managing users or devices with dynamic membership rules, and assigning IT staff to

31
administrative unit-scoped administrator roles. It emphasizes the constraints of administrative units,
such as the inability to nest them, and the limitations of scoped user account administrators.

In conclusion, the lecture underscores the importance of administrative units in Azure Active Directory
for large or complex organizations. By carefully planning and structuring administrative units,
organizations can achieve a more efficient and secure way to manage permissions across different
departments or suborganizations, keeping in mind the licensing requirements and constraints.

Using Privileged Identity Management for Azure AD Roles

In the lecture, the student is introduced to Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM), a vital
security feature that helps organizations manage, control, and monitor user access to various resources,
including Azure AD, Azure Resources, Microsoft 365, and Microsoft Intune. PIM's design enhances
security by identifying users with privileged or administrative roles and granting them temporary, on-
demand access to resources.

One of the primary benefits of PIM is its ability to provide "just-in-time" (JIT) administrative access.
Unlike traditional methods where a user assigned an admin role had permanent access, PIM introduces
the concept of an "eligible administrator," allowing users to have their roles activated only when
required for a predetermined amount of time. This reduces the risks associated with continuous admin
access.

The lecture explains how PIM works by identifying users with privileged or administrative roles,
providing JIT administrative access, monitoring activities, and requiring approval for Azure AD privileged
admin roles. The process of enabling PIM for a directory is also detailed, including the steps to pin the
Privileged Identity Management application to the Azure portal's dashboard.

Role activation can be customized according to an organization's needs, allowing the determination of
the activation period's length and specifying the information required for an admin to activate their role.
By leveraging Azure AD Privileged Identity Management, organizations can enhance their security
posture, minimize risks associated with permanent admin access, and better monitor and control access
to critical resources.

SECTION: Implement and Manage Identity Synchronization with Azure

AD
Preparing for Identity Synchronization
In today's business environment, companies often utilize a combination of on-premises and cloud
applications, necessitating a single identity across various platforms. Identity provisioning, the process of
creating, updating, and deleting an object based on specific conditions, plays a crucial role in this
integration. When a new user joins a company, provisioning can create corresponding user accounts in
the cloud, on-premises Active Directory, and other necessary applications.

On-premises identity provisioning typically involves synchronization from on-premises sources like Active
Directory to Azure AD, using tools like Azure AD Connect sync or Azure AD Connect Cloud Sync. Before
deploying directory synchronization, the environment must be prepared by analyzing features such as
Active Directory preparation, UPN suffixes, and the Microsoft 365 IdFix tool.

Preparation for directory synchronization includes identifying the source of authority for Active Directory
service objects and cleaning up the Active Directory by removing duplicates and updating invalid
attributes. Ensuring that on-premises user objects have a correctly configured UPN suffix is vital, and
Microsoft recommends using the primary SMTP email address of each user as their UPN to reduce
confusion.

If changes to the UPN suffix in on-premises Active Directory are needed, it's essential to check for
dependencies on specific UPNs. The Microsoft 365 IdFix tool can help identify and fix most object
synchronization errors, ensuring a smooth transition to Microsoft 365 by addressing issues related to
user accounts, contacts, and groups.

Other important tools include the Microsoft 365 admin center for viewing synchronization errors, the
Directory Synchronization Troubleshooter for scanning and fixing problems, and the Synchronization
Service Manager for checking synchronization status. Command-line tools like the Azure Active Directory
PowerShell module and Windows PowerShell cmdlets are also invaluable for managing features and
forcing manual synchronizations.

In summary, the student will learn about the essential aspects of preparing for identity synchronization,
including the importance of provisioning, the tools and processes involved, and best practices for

35
ensuring a seamless integration between on-premises and cloud applications. The lecture provides a
comprehensive understanding of the steps required to successfully synchronize identities across various
platforms, emphasizing the importance of preparation, analysis, and the correct use of tools.

Self-service Password Reset (SSPR)

The lecture focuses on the concept of Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) and its implementation within
an organization. SSPR allows users to change or reset their passwords without needing assistance from
an administrator or help desk, thus reducing the number of help desk calls and minimizing lost
productivity.

To utilize SSPR, users must first register their desired authentication methods. When they need to reset
or change their password, they can access the SSPR portal. The Azure platform then considers several
factors, such as the validity of the user account, the organization the user belongs to, and where the
user's password is managed.

The process includes verifying if the user is eligible for SSPR by confirming that SSPR is enabled, checking
that the user has the appropriate authentication methods configured, enforcing a strong two-gate
password policy for Azure administrator roles, and determining if the user's password is managed on-
premises.

SSPR also provides options for notifying users during the password reset process, requiring users to
register, allowing users to unlock their accounts without resetting their password, and integrating with
on-premises directories. The lecture emphasizes the importance of best practices and requirements
when configuring SSPR policies and authentication methods to ensure a smooth user experience and
maintain strong security standards.

Azure AD Password Protection

The lecture focuses on the critical aspect of Azure Active Directory Password Protection, a tool that
enhances organizational security by detecting and blocking weak passwords and their variations. The
lecture emphasizes the importance of strong password practices and introduces two main components:
the global banned password list and the custom banned password list.

The global banned password list is created by analyzing Azure AD security telemetry data to identify
weak or compromised passwords. This list is automatically applied to all users in an Azure AD tenant and

48
cannot be disabled. The custom banned password list allows organizations to add their own terms,
focusing on organization-specific terms such as brand names, product names, locations, and company-
specific internal terms.

The lecture further explains that both the global and custom banned password lists are checked when
users change or reset their passwords, ensuring strong password usage. However, it also emphasizes that
relying solely on Azure AD Password Protection is not enough; additional features like Azure AD Multi-
Factor Authentication should be used to provide multiple layers of security.

For organizations with a hybrid identity model, the lecture explains how Azure AD Password Protection
can be extended to on-premises AD DS environments, maintaining a consistent password policy across
the entire infrastructure. The password evaluation process includes several steps: normalization, fuzzy
matching, substring matching, and score calculation.

The lecture concludes with a discussion on licensing requirements for Azure AD Password Protection,
highlighting the differences based on whether users are cloud-only or synchronized from on-premises AD
DS.

Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)

The lecture focuses on the concept of Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) within the context of Microsoft
365. MFA is a security feature that enhances user authentication by requiring at least two different types
of authentication methods. These methods can include something the user knows (like a password or
PIN), something the user owns (such as a mobile phone or hardware token), and something the user is
(including biometric data like fingerprint or facial recognition).

Azure AD MFA supports a variety of authentication methods, including phone call or text message
verification, the Microsoft Authenticator app, OATH hardware tokens, FIDO2 security keys, and third-
party authenticator apps like Google Authenticator and Authy. Microsoft 365 also features Conditional
Access policies that enable administrators to configure MFA based on specific conditions like user
location, device compliance, or user risk.

Organizations can enable MFA in three primary ways. The first is through Conditional Access, which
offers more control and customization. The second way is by using Security Defaults, a more
straightforward option suitable for small or medium-sized organizations. The third method is through the
Microsoft 365 admin center, where MFA can be enabled on a per-user basis.

50
Balancing security with ease of use is essential for a successful MFA implementation. This can be
achieved by adjusting session lifetimes based on the user's risk profile. Embracing MFA is a key step
towards safeguarding valuable data and ensuring the integrity of user access within an organization.

Investigating and Resolving Authentication Issues with Sign-in Logs

The lecture provides an in-depth exploration of the tools and methods for investigating and resolving
authentication issues with sign-in logs in Microsoft 365. It begins with an overview of sign-in logs, also
referred to as Sign-in Activity reports, available in all editions of Azure AD. These logs are essential for
tracking user sign-ins, patterns, and statuses.

To access the sign-in log, specific roles such as Global administrator, Security administrator, or Reports
reader are required. The log provides a default view displaying information like sign-in date, user,
application, status, and Multi-factor authentication (MFA) status. Customization of this view is possible,
and the lecture explains how to choose attributes to display.

The lecture emphasizes the importance of understanding failed sign-ins, where more information can be
found in the Basic info section of the related log item. Tools like the sign-in error lookup tool may provide
additional insights, such as remediation steps.

To make investigations more focused, the Azure portal allows filtering sign-in activities by various
parameters, including request ID, user, application, IP address, and more. The Authentication Details tab
on the Sign-ins report is highlighted as a useful feature, providing information on authentication policies,
session lifetime policies, authentication methods used, and details about success or failure.

The lecture also discusses the complexity of mapping IP addresses in sign-in logs due to factors like
mobile providers and virtual private networks. The key takeaway emphasizes the comprehensive toolset
offered by sign-in logs for investigating authentication issues, providing insights into patterns, details,
and potential reasons for failures.

SECTION: Implementing and Managing Secure Access

Azure AD Identity Protection
The lecture focuses on Azure AD Identity Protection, a tool that helps organizations secure users'
identities by automating the detection and remediation of identity-based risks. It investigates these risks
using data in the portal and exports risk detection data to other tools for further analysis.

Microsoft's Identity Protection analyzes trillions of signals daily to identify and protect customers from
threats. These signals can be fed into tools like Conditional Access or back to a security information and
event management (SIEM) tool for further investigation. The automation is necessary to keep up with
the sheer scale of signals and attacks effectively.

The lecture covers various risks detected by Identity Protection, including anonymous IP address use,
atypical travel, malware-linked IP addresses, unfamiliar sign-in properties, leaked credentials, password
spray attacks, and more. When a risk is detected, it can trigger remediation efforts such as requiring the
user to perform multi-factor authentication, reset their password, or block access until an administrator
takes action.

Administrators can investigate risks through four key reports: risky users, risky workload identities, risky
sign-ins, and risk detections. Identity Protection categorizes risk into three tiers: low, medium, and high.
Data from Identity Protection can be exported to other tools for archiving and further investigation, and
it can be integrated with Microsoft Sentinel for a comprehensive security solution.

The lecture also emphasizes the importance of specific roles, such as Security Reader, Security Operator,
Security Administrator, Global Reader, or Global Administrator, for accessing Identity Protection features.
Different license tiers provide different levels of access to risk policies, security reports, notifications, and
MFA registration policy features.

Planning for Identity Protection
The lecture focuses on the importance of Identity Protection within Azure AD and how it can be
effectively deployed within an organization. It begins by emphasizing the detection of risks, reporting,
and allowing administrators to investigate and remediate them, thereby keeping organizations safe. The
prerequisites for implementing Identity Protection include having an Azure AD tenant with Azure AD
Premium P2 and appropriate role assignments for administrators.

The lecture outlines the steps to ensure a secure environment, starting with reviewing existing Identity
Protection reports to investigate suspicious behavior and taking appropriate actions. Planning for policy
exclusions, such as emergency access accounts, service accounts, and service principals, is also
emphasized. The lecture guides the student through the process of configuring named locations in
Conditional Access, adding VPN ranges to Defender for Cloud Apps, and using report-only mode to
evaluate the effect of Conditional Access policies.

The lecture also covers the creation of Conditional Access policies for sign-in risk and user risk,
considering blocking users or requiring multi-factor authentication when behavior deviates from the
norm. It highlights the importance of enabling email notifications to respond promptly when users are
flagged as at risk and setting up weekly digest emails for an overview of risk events.

Furthermore, the lecture discusses the use of Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps as an investigation
framework and leveraging Identity Protection APIs to export risk information to other tools. It concludes
by emphasizing the creation of a comprehensive plan for deploying Identity Protection, ensuring a

Conditional Access Policies
The lecture focuses on the concept of Conditional Access Policies within Azure Active Directory (Azure
AD). It begins by explaining that Conditional Access is about creating and implementing access policies
for an organization, likening it to an if-then statement. For example, if a user wants to access a resource,
they must complete an action, such as enabling multifactor authentication.

The main goals of Conditional Access policies are to maintain security and allow users to be productive,
regardless of location or time. To achieve this, Azure AD Conditional Access works with Microsoft Intune
compliance policies, controlling the devices and apps that can access company resources. It's highlighted
that an Azure AD Premium P1 license or a Microsoft 365 Business Premium license is required to use
Conditional Access.

Some common signals that Conditional Access considers when making a policy decision include user or
group membership, IP location info, device details, application details, and real-time risk detection.
Conditional Access can also integrate with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Microsoft Intune,
blocking access to resources like SharePoint Online or Exchange Online when devices exceed a set threat
level.

The lecture also covers the implementation of device-based and app-based Conditional Access policies.
Device-based policies ensure that only managed and compliant devices can access resources like email
or Microsoft 365 services. App-based policies make sure that only managed apps can access corporate
email or Microsoft 365 services.

Furthermore, the lecture discusses common decisions that can be built into Conditional Access policies,
such as blocking access, granting access, requiring multifactor authentication, or requiring a compliant
device. It also guides the student on how to create a Conditional Access policy by navigating to the
Microsoft Intune admin center and accessing the Endpoint security section.

Improving Your Microsoft Secure Score in the Microsoft 365 Defender Portal
In the lecture, the students are introduced to the concept of improving an organization's security
posture using Microsoft Secure Score in Microsoft 365. The lecture begins by defining Microsoft Secure
Score as a measurement of an organization's security posture, where a higher number indicates more
recommended actions taken. The Secure Score dashboard organizes Microsoft's recommended actions
into four main groups: Identity, Device, Apps, and Data.

59
The lecture then guides the students on how to check the current score by going to the Microsoft Secure
Score Overview tab. The tool's function in determining the current state of an organization’s security
posture and identifying risks is explained, emphasizing the importance of involving key stakeholders in
analyzing the findings and planning improvements.

The lecture also stresses that assessing security posture and mitigating risks is not a one-time project,
and it's advisable to periodically run Secure Score to provide insight needed to mitigate any risks
associated with changes over time.

The Recommended actions tab and its functionalities are discussed, including the ranking of
recommendations based on points yet to be achieved, implementation difficulty, user impact, and
complexity. The lecture explains how to manage or share a specific recommended action and how to
mark it as 'Completed.'

The lecture concludes by detailing the implementation of the recommended action, including
prerequisites, step-by-step next steps, and the current implementation status. The importance of
Microsoft Secure Score as a powerful tool to assess security posture, identify risks, and take

Safe Attachment Policies in Defender for Office 365

The lecture provides an in-depth look into the Safe Attachment Policies in Defender for Office 365,
focusing on the protection of email attachments. The feature known as Safe Attachments scans email
attachments in a virtual environment before they are delivered to recipients, a process referred to as
"detonation."

The protection offered by Safe Attachments is regulated by specific policies. Unlike other features, there
isn't a default Safe Attachments policy, but the Built-in protection preset security policy provides Safe
Attachments protection to all recipients not specified in other preset or custom policies. Custom Safe
Attachments policies can be created for specific users, groups, or domains.

The lecture emphasizes the need for specific permissions to perform tasks related to Safe Attachments.
These permissions can be obtained through Microsoft 365 Defender role-based access control (RBAC),
Email & collaboration RBAC in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, Exchange Online RBAC, or Azure AD
RBAC.

The lecture also provides a step-by-step guide on how to create a Safe Attachments policy in Microsoft
365 Defender. The process involves navigating to the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, selecting the Safe
Attachments page, and following the wizard to configure the policy settings. The lecture concludes with a

Safe Links in Email

Safe Links is a feature in Microsoft Defender for Office 365 that scans incoming email for known
malicious hyperlinks. The URLs in these emails are rewritten or wrapped using the Microsoft standard
URL prefix, and then analyzed for potentially malicious content. This rewriting remains consistent even if
the message containing the URL is forwarded or replied to.

The settings in Safe Links policies for email messages include enabling Safe Links, applying it to email
messages sent within the organization, applying real-time URL scanning for suspicious links, waiting for
URL scanning to complete before delivering the message, and an option to not rewrite URLs but perform
checks via SafeLinks API only.

The process of how Safe Links works in email messages begins with applying filters like IP and envelope
filters, signature-based malware protection, and anti-spam and anti-malware filters before the message
is delivered to the recipient's mailbox. When the user opens the message and clicks on a URL, Safe Links
checks the URL before opening the website. If the URL points to a malicious website, a warning page
opens. If the URL points to a downloadable file, and the real-time URL scanning setting is turned on, the
downloadable file is checked. If the URL is determined to be safe, the website opens.

The lecture also covers specific settings such as:

1. Enabling Safe Links to check against a list of known malicious links.

2. Applying Safe Links to internal communication within the same Exchange Online organization.

3. Enabling real-time scanning of links, including those pointing to downloadable content.

4. Holding messages containing URLs until scanning is completed.

5. An option to not rewrite URLs, performing checks via SafeLinks API only.

Safe Links in Teams

The lecture focuses on the implementation and functionality of Safe Links protection for Microsoft
Teams. This feature can be turned on or off through Safe Links policies, specifically using the setting that
checks a list of known malicious links when users click links in Microsoft Teams. Unlike emails, URLs in
Teams are not rewritten, and the recommended value for this setting is on.

In Teams, URLs are checked against a list of known malicious links when a protected user clicks the link, a
process known as time-of-click protection. If a link is determined to be malicious, users encounter
different experiences depending on where the link was clicked. For instance, if clicked in a conversation,
a warning page appears in the default web browser, while if clicked from a pinned tab, the warning
appears within that tab in the Teams interface.

69
The option to proceed to the original URL may or may not be allowed, depending on the policy setting. If
the user who sent the link isn't protected by a Safe Links policy with Teams protection enabled, they can
click through to the original URL on their device.

The lecture also explains how Safe Links works in Teams, starting with the verification that the user's
organization includes Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and that the user is included in an active Safe
Links policy where protection for Microsoft Teams is enabled. URLs are then validated at the time of click
for the user in various contexts such as chats, group chats, channels, and tabs.

Safe Links in Office Apps

The lecture focuses on the functionality and implementation of Safe Links within Office applications. It
begins by outlining the requirements for Safe Links protection in Office apps, which include having
Microsoft 365 Apps or Microsoft 365 Business Premium, using current versions of Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, and other supported applications, and ensuring that users are signed in with their work or
school accounts.

The lecture then explains how Safe Links operates within Office apps. When a user clicks on a link in an
Office document within a supported app, Safe Links checks the URL before opening the target website. If
the URL leads to a malicious website, a warning page opens. If the URL leads to a downloadable file, it is
checked based on the Safe Links policy applied to the user. If the URL is considered safe, the user is
directed to the website. The lecture also covers scenarios where Safe Links scanning may not complete,
and the warnings provided to the user in such cases.

The lecture emphasizes the importance of configuring supported Office apps and Microsoft 365 services
to use modern authentication and ensuring that users are signed in with their work or school accounts
for Safe Links to function effectively.

Spoof Intelligence in Defender for Office 365

In the digital age, email spoofing is a common method used by cyber attackers to deceive recipients. This
technique involves falsifying the header information of an email to appear from a trustworthy source. To
combat this, Microsoft 365 offers a feature known as spoof intelligence. This feature can be accessed
through the Microsoft 365 Defender portal and allows the identification of spoofed senders who are
legitimately sending unauthenticated email, such as messages from domains that don't pass SPF, DKIM,
or DMARC checks.

The feature strikes a delicate balance by allowing known senders to send spoofed messages from
recognized locations, thereby reducing false positives. At the same time, it actively monitors these
spoofed senders to prevent unsafe messages from reaching the organization. Users also have the option
to manually review and block spoofed senders, giving them greater control over email security.

Before utilizing these features, students must be aware of several key points. Access to the Microsoft 365
Defender portal is required, and specific permissions must be assigned before performing any
procedures related to spoof intelligence. These permissions can be granted through various options,
including Microsoft 365 Defender role-based access control, Exchange Online RBAC, and Azure AD RBAC.

72
Additionally, the enabling and disabling of spoof intelligence are managed within the anti-phishing
policies in Microsoft Defender for Office 365, and the feature is enabled by default.

The Spoof Intelligence Insight page offers two modes: Insight mode and "What if" mode. Insight mode
reveals the number of messages detected by spoof intelligence over the past seven days, while "What if"
mode shows the number of messages that would have been detected if the feature were disabled.

The lecture also emphasizes the importance of understanding that 'allowed spoofed senders'
permissions are specific to domain-infrastructure pairs, not blanket approvals. This adds another layer of
security, ensuring that only messages from a specific spoofed domain and sending infrastructure are
permitted.

In summary, the lecture provides a comprehensive understanding of Microsoft 365's spoof intelligence
feature, emphasizing its role in identifying email spoofing and offering the tools to manage this complex
issue. It educates the student on how to access and utilize the feature, the permissions required, and the
intricate balance between blocking malicious senders and accommodating legitimate ones. The detailed
guidance ensures that the student is well-equipped to implement these measures in their organization,
enhancing overall email security.

Attack Simulation Training

Attack simulation is a feature available in specific Microsoft 365 plans, allowing organizations to run
realistic cyberattack scenarios to test their security policies and practices. The purpose of these
simulations is to identify vulnerable users within the organization and potentially change their behavior
before a real attack impacts the organization.

To run Attack simulation training, an organization must meet certain prerequisites, including having the
appropriate Microsoft 365 subscription. The user running the attack simulation training must have one of
the specific Microsoft 365 roles, such as Global Administrator or Security Administrator. The
organization's email should be hosted on Exchange Online, and the organization must store its attack
simulation data with other customer data for its Microsoft 365 services.

The attack simulation training provides insights based on the data generated by the simulations and the
trainings each employee completed. Administrators can review the data generated by the simulations

74
and track progress in employees' threat readiness by running multiple simulations against the same
groups of employees.

Creating and running an Attack simulation training consists of several steps, including selecting a social
engineering technique, naming the simulation, selecting a payload, targeting the audience, assigning
training, notifying users, and reviewing launch details. Microsoft offers a range of simulation techniques,
including Credential Harvest and Malware Attachment. The payload data points provide insights into the
effectiveness of an organization's security controls against simulated attacks, helping identify
vulnerabilities.

After selecting the audience, training is assigned for users to complete if they fall for the simulated
attack. This step helps reinforce security awareness and reduce the likelihood of falling for real attacks in

SECTION: Using Quarantine Policies in Defender for Office 365

Quarantine Policies in Defender for Office 365
Quarantine policies are an essential feature of Microsoft Defender for Office 365, allowing administrators
to define the user experience for quarantined messages. These policies determine the actions users can
take with their quarantined messages based on the reason for the quarantine. They also control whether
users receive periodic notifications about their quarantined messages.

76
Traditionally, the level of interaction users have with quarantined messages has been determined by the
reason for the message being quarantined. For example, users can view and release messages
quarantined as spam or bulk but cannot view or release messages quarantined due to high confidence
phishing or malware.

Default quarantine policies enforce these historical user capabilities and are automatically assigned in
supported protection features. However, if the default capabilities do not meet the organization's needs,
administrators have the option to create and use custom quarantine policies. These custom policies
allow tailoring the quarantine experience to better suit the organization's requirements.

Creating and assigning quarantine policies can be done in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal or in
PowerShell. Access to the Quarantine policies page requires specific permissions, available through
several role groups in Email & collaboration RBAC in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, or in Azure AD
RBAC.

Changing the quarantine policy only affects messages that are quarantined after the change, not those
quarantined before the change. The duration for which messages are held before they expire is
controlled by specific settings in anti-spam policies.

In summary, quarantine policies in Microsoft Defender for Office 365 provide administrators with control
over users' interaction with quarantined messages. They maintain a balance between user control and
security, with the flexibility to create custom policies if needed. The process of creating, managing, and
applying these policies requires specific permissions and understanding of the underlying principles to
ensure the security and integrity of the organization's email communications.

Understanding First Contact Safety Tip

In the lecture, the focus is on the "First Contact Safety Tip," a feature designed to enhance security
measures against potential impersonation attacks. This safety tip is triggered in two specific scenarios:
when a recipient receives a message from a sender for the very first time, and when the recipient
doesn't often get messages from a particular sender.

The feature serves as an additional layer of defense by alerting the recipient to a potentially suspicious
sender. It is highly recommended to have this feature turned on, as it plays a crucial role in safeguarding
communication. One of the advantages of the first contact safety tip is that it eliminates the need to
create mail flow rules, or transport rules.

The way the safety tip is displayed depends on the number of recipients in the message. If it's a single
recipient, the safety tip will read, "You don't often get email from [email address]." If the message has

95
multiple recipients, the tip can read, "Some people who received this message don't often get email
from [email address]."

In conclusion, the first contact safety tip is an essential tool in the arsenal to safeguard against potential
impersonation attacks. It adds another layer of security that helps keep an organization's communication
safe and secure.

Understanding Retention Labels and Retention Policies
The lecture focuses on the understanding of retention labels and retention policies within the context of
organizational content management and compliance. The lecture begins by highlighting the need for
organizations to comply with regulations that require content retention for specific periods and the
necessity to delete old content that is no longer required.

The lecture explains the three outcomes of retention settings: Retain-Only, Delete-Only, and Retain and
then Delete. It emphasizes that these settings work with content in place, reducing the need for

110
additional storage. The content remains in its original location, and if edited or deleted, a copy is
automatically retained in secure locations like the Preservation Hold library or the Recoverable Items
folder.

The lecture differentiates between retention policies and retention labels. Retention policies apply the
same settings at the site or mailbox level, while retention labels allow for item-level control. Retention
labels have capabilities that policies don't support, such as starting the retention period based on
labeling or an event, using trainable classifiers, applying default labels, and marking content as a record.

The lecture also covers the application of retention policies to various locations like Exchange mailboxes,
SharePoint sites, OneDrive accounts, Teams messages, and more. It explains that retention settings do
not travel with content if moved to a different location within the Microsoft 365 tenant, unlike retention
labels.

Box, or DropBox.

The lecture delves into the different aspects of sensitivity labels, such as their ability to protect content
in Office apps across different platforms and devices, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
Sensitivity labels can also extend to Power BI and Microsoft Purview Data Map, allowing for a wide range
of applications.

Label scopes are discussed, explaining how sensitivity labels can be configured for specific items or
containers, and further refined to files, emails, and meetings. The importance of label priority is
highlighted, emphasizing the order of labels to reflect their priority.

112
The lecture also covers label policies, detailing how they control who sees the labels and how they can
be published to specific users or groups. Label policies can specify a default label for various content
types, and users can change the applied default sensitivity label to match the content's sensitivity.

The concept of label policy priority is explained, with the order number of a policy determining its
priority. This ensures that the most stringent settings are always applied in case of a conflict.

The lecture concludes with key takeaways, emphasizing the versatility and adaptability of sensitivity
labels across various platforms, including US Government tenants. Sensitivity labels offer encryption and
content marking settings, with applications across Office apps, third-party apps, and Microsoft services
like Teams, SharePoint, and Power BI. Label priority and policy priority are vital, governing the order of
labels and the precedence of policies, respectively. Label policies further refine control, enabling specific
publishing and default labeling.
