🚂 ROLLING OUT

• Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Exchange Online Protection- Customizable Authenticated Received Chain (ARC) configuration – 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.  Roadmap ID: 85684
• Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Updates to quarantine folder storage – Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is making some changes to quarantine folder storage.

• Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Automatically allow Spoofing and Impersonation related messages directly using Admin Submissions – Today security administrators can use the Submissions page in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal to submit email messages, URLs, and attachments to Microsoft for scanning. We are enhancing this capability with an option to automatically allow Spoofing and Impersonation related emails from senders/infrastructure that were classified as legitimate by the admin, despite being initially blocked by the system. This will help mitigate false positives while the system continues to learn. Roadmap ID: 93366

⌛ IN DEVELOPMENT

Release – June 2022

• 🆕 Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Security Threat Submission API – The current Information Protection/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. Roadmap ID: 93364

Release – July 2022

• 🆕 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.  Roadmap ID: 93359
• Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Password protected download of quarantined messages – With this change we are giving the ability to password protects items they download from quarantine. We want users to be confident that the items they are downloading to their systems will not execute involuntarily without their consent, and this capability will allow them to safely transport the items to external analysis tools.
