No Junk - Just What Matters Most to You
Hinweis der Redaktion
Microsoft Threat Protection is now Microsoft 365 Defender, the XDR for end-user environments.
Protecting every major OS: Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection is now Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and is extending protection for the rapidly evolving world of mobile threats. For Android, it provides protection against phishing, offers proactive scanning of malicious applications and files, blocks access to corporate resources to mitigate the impact of breaches, and gives security teams visibility into mobile threats and alerts via the security center. For iOS, customers will also get phishing and web protection and the same unified SecOps experience. Support for macOS has been expanded with the public preview of threat and vulnerability management.
Protecting priority email accounts: Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection is now Microsoft Defender for Office 365. Now in public preview, security teams can prioritize protection for the most visible and most targeted individuals in the organization, tagging and tracking them in the portal as Priority accounts.
In addition, Azure Advanced Threat Protection is now Microsoft Defender for Identity and continues to provide customers with hybrid identity threat protection
In addition to the talent shortage and complexity of compliance management, customers also face the need to comply with an increased volume and frequency of regulations, with hundreds of updates a day globally. Additionally, the complexity of regulations makes it challenging for organizations to know specific actions to take and their impact.
The new Compliance Manager offers a vast library of assessments for expanded regulatory coverage, built-in automation to detect tenant settings and step-by-step guidance for intuitive compliance management. Compliance Manager translates complex regulatory requirements to specific controls, and through compliance scores provides a quantifiable measure of compliance. Generally available today, the new Compliance Manager brings together the existing Compliance Manager and Compliance Score solutions in the Microsoft 365 compliance center.
Now, with the ability to access a library of more than 150 out-of-the-box and scalable assessments in Compliance Manager, customers can address industry- and region-specific requirements, while also meeting multiple requirements through a single action.
Customers also have compliance needs that extend beyond Microsoft 365 that may be unique. The flexibility of custom assessments allows customers to extend compliance management beyond Microsoft 365 to meet their specific compliance needs.
Microsoft 365 Compliance capabilities are being extended with the general availability of third-party connectors in partnership with Globanet and TeleMessage, as well as new Microsoft Graph APIs, including Microsoft Teams Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Teams Export and eDiscovery automation.
In a recent poll of security decision makers, Microsoft found that data leakage is the top concern in remote and hybrid work scenarios. To provide greater visibility into your data, wherever it lives, Microsoft is making new connectors available in partnership with Globanet and TeleMessage that can pull data from other apps into Microsoft 365 Compliance (including Microsoft Information Protection, Insider Risk Management, Communication Compliance and eDiscovery) to help customers reason over, protect and govern that data. These new connectors include SMS/text connectors for various telecom operators and other collaboration platforms.
In addition, Microsoft is announcing the extension of unified data loss prevention (DLP) to Microsoft Cloud App Security (MCAS), now in public preview. This enables customers to extend Microsoft’s data loss prevention policy enforcement framework to native (e.g., OneDrive, SharePoint, etc.) and third-party cloud apps for a consistent and seamless compliance experience.
A key ask from our partners and customers is the ability to access Microsoft 365 Compliance solutions and integrate them with existing applications and services that are part of broader compliance, security and operations (SecOps) ecosystems, including Symantec, McAfee and Relativity.
These APIs are part of the broader Microsoft Graph ecosystem and include:
Teams Data Loss Prevention (DLP) API: Allows third-party products to integrate and enable data loss prevention capabilities for Microsoft Teams.
eDiscovery API: Allows the automation of Advanced eDiscovery processes, including case creation and the entire legal hold notification workflow, to communicate with custodians involved in a case.
Teams Export API: Allows the export of Teams Messages (1:1 and group chat) along with attachments (file links and sticker), emojis, GIFs and user @Mentions. This API supports polling daily Teams messages and allows archiving of deleted messages up to 30 days.

5.2.3 ADDITIONAL SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE FEATURES, INCLUDING ADVANCED EDISCOVERY, BEING ADDED TO MICROSOFT TEAMS
As Microsoft Teams usage has grown with the shift to remote work, customers are looking for seamless integration to keep their data and employees secure and compliant.
Today, Microsoft is announcing Customer Key support for Teams. Microsoft helps keep Teams data safe by encrypting it while at rest in Microsoft datacenters. Now we are extending this capability to enable customers to add a layer of encryption using their own keys for Teams, similar to Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and OneDrive.
With the volume of business conversations happening now in Microsoft Teams, we are also adding additional compliance features, including:
Insider Risk Management now offers native integration with Microsoft Teams to securely coordinate, collaborate and communicate on a case with relevant stakeholders in the organization. When an Insider Risk management case is created, a private Microsoft Teams team will also be created and bound to the case for its duration. This Microsoft Teams team will, by default, include insider risk management analysts and investigators, and additional contributors such as HR and Legal, can be added as appropriate. With Teams integration, stakeholders can:
Use channel conversations to coordinate and track review/response activities.
Share, store and review relevant files and associated evidence.
Advanced eDiscovery now supports live documents and links shared in Microsoft Teams. Advanced eDiscovery automatically collects documents from a storage location, such as SharePoint or OneDrive, to pull the content into an eDiscovery case. The attachments are collected, reviewed and exported along with the Teams conversations so customers don’t need to manually find and collect the documents one by one.
Retention policies for Microsoft Teams meeting recording allow customers to retain and delete recordings with in-place governance, which means the retention policies apply wherever the recordings are saved without the need to export elsewhere. The rollout for this begins in October. Microsoft will provide guidance on how to leverage Keyword Query Languages to create retention policies for Teams meeting recording.
Microsoft will provide Teams-specific actions in Compliance Manager at general availability. This will provide guidance around improvement and implementation of actions you can take to help align with protection regulations and standards.
