Originally posted by Microsoft Oct 18, 2021 Microsoft 365 suite 0 Comments

New service plans called M365_Lighthouse_Plan1 and M365_Lighthouse_Plan2 were recently added to the Windows 365 Enterprise at the tenant level.  These new service plans are part of the Microsoft 365 Lighthouse for Microsoft CSP managed service provider partners supporting Microsoft 365 customers with fewer than 500 licenses.

Note: You are receiving this message because our reporting indicates one or more users in your organization are on the Windows 365 Enterprise subscription and and your tenant may have received these new service plans already. We acknowledge that this does not align with our change communications commitments and want to apologize for this oversight. Please note that if your account is not supported by a Microsoft CSP managed service provider partner, the new Microsoft 365 Lighthouse service plans will not impact your account and you may safely disregard this message.

Ignoring Disable Anti Spyware Disable Antivirus on client devices (E3 and E5)

Originally posted by Microsoft Oct 18, 2021 Microsoft 365 suite 0 Comments

By design, Microsoft Defender Antivirus is automatically disabled when a 3rd party antivirus is present on the client. We are making an update to improve security by ignoring a legacy setting, DisableAntiSpyware (which disables Microsoft Defender Antivirus). This change will impact clients running Windows 10, version 1903 or higher with Microsoft Defender AV platform version 4.18.2108.4 and higher with E3 and E5 licenses.

Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Exchange Online Protection- Customizable Authenticated Received Chain (ARC) configuration

Originally posted by Microsoft Oct 15, 2021 Microsoft Defender for Office 365 0 Comments

Email senders use authentication mechanisms like SPF, DKIM, DMARC to authenticate emails, but some legitimate intermediate services may potentially make changes to the email, which might cause the email to fail authentication at subsequent hop. Authenticated Received Chain (ARC) is an authentication mechanism that helps preserve authentication results across intermediaries. With this change, admins will be able to add trusted intermediaries in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal to allow Microsoft to honor these ARC signatures, thereby allowing legitimate messages.
