How this will affect your organization:
To provide IT admins the ability to take security updates without disruption through the hotpatch updates. Windows Autopatch is releasing, in public preview, a new feature set to meet customers where they are on in their update management journey.
When will this happen:
We are improving Windows Autopatch reports to enhance the customer experience. If you are already using Autopatch reports, you will notice the improvements starting on the 18th of November.
When this will happen:
Coming soon for Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps: The SaaS Security Initiative, a new capability designed to change the way our customers consume SaaS security posture recommendations that consolidates best-practice recommendations for configuring SaaS applications.
When this will happen:
New automatic footers will be added to emails sent from Microsoft Viva Amplify and SharePoint when sharing SharePoint News posts. These footers will include the customer logo, a Microsoft-generated statement, and a privacy statement link. Rollout begins early November 2024 and completes by mid-November. No admin action is required before the rollout. Organizations should update configurations and inform internal communicators.
Starting February 3rd, 2025, Microsoft will mandate multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all Microsoft 365 admin center users to enhance cybersecurity. Users and global admins must set up MFA, verify methods, or apply to postpone the enforcement date. Details and setup guides are provided.
Microsoft Secure Score will add a new Defender for Identity recommendation, “Prevent Certificate Enrollment with arbitrary Application Policies (ESC15)”, to improve security posture. Public Preview begins mid-November 2024, with General Availability starting late November 2024. No action is required for preparation.
Message Center is the primary channel to receive updates about your Microsoft services. Occasionally, we will send email service notifications regarding upcoming changes that require customer action, planned maintenance, or other important announcements.
