Microsoft 365 compliance center | Microsoft Purview: Insider Risk Management – Policy wizard enhancements

Updates are being made to the Insider Risk Management policy wizard. We are splitting our Indicators step of the wizard into two steps (step 1- indicators, step 2- sequence detection, cumulative exfiltration detection, and risk score boosters) to enable an easier experience. Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, security and policy violations, and more. Built with privacy by design, users are pseudonymized by default, and role-based access controls and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.

Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Security Threat Submission API

The current Information Protection or Threat Assessment API does not support setting up end user reporting experiences and triaging samples reported by a user. The new Security Threat Submission API will address these scenarios and further improve existing capabilities. It was created using the Microsoft Graph Platform. The current API will continue to exist for several years to ensure existing processes are not affected, with eventual deprecation.

Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Support DKIM Domain as Sending Infrastructure for Spoof intelligence management

For Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and Exchange Online Protection, we are adding support for providing “DKIM verified domain” as the “Sending Infrastructure” within Tenant allow-block lists-Spoofing, so that Security Administrators can better manage Anti-Spoofing activity and override it based on Spoof Intelligence. Currently, what is supported in this field is either the domain from DNS PTR record or /24 IP Subnet. Additionally, being able to specify a ‘DKIM verified domain’ will help serve scenarios where shared infrastructure provider services are used for sending emails. Since the DKIM domain is unique to each tenant and if it passes verification even when other authentication signals fail, if desired for legitimate business reasons, a spoofed message can still be allowed instead of being blocked.
