Microsoft Defender XDR: Simplified DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) setup for enhanced domain protection
The message details a Microsoft Defender XDR update simplifying DKIM setup for domain protection, with a rollout starting mid-June 2024 and completing by mid-July 2024. It introduces easier DKIM activation during domain registration and a redesigned DKIM page for better information visibility. Preparation is minimal as the update is automatic.

Easier DKIM activation during domain registration
