Hackers are becoming increasingly sophisticated which means that it\u2019s important now more than ever for users to understand the difference between legitimate emails and spoofed emails. So naturally, it makes sense to hear that Microsoft is continuing to evolve its portfolio of threat protection solutions in their efforts to combat hacking. As part of the XDR and SIEM defender toolkit series, Microsoft Defender for Office 365 brings an integrated solution to organizations. Security professionals now have a holistic approach in the fight against phishing attacks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2281\" src=\"https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/microsoft-defender-for-office-365.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/microsoft-defender-for-office-365.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/microsoft-defender-for-office-365-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/microsoft-defender-for-office-365-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/microsoft-defender-for-office-365-705x494.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How do I get these tools?<\/h2>\n<p>Formerly \u201cOffice 365 Advanced Threat Protection,\u201d Microsoft Defender for Office 365 offers a line of protection tools in an Office 365 subscription.

The anti-malware feature runs multiple scans to catch malware in its earliest stages. Anti-phishing offers an Attack Simulator, which can help educate users to learn how to identify the differences between the fake emails and the real emails.<\/p>\n<p>Anti-Spam utilities filter spam email into a \u201cJunk\u201d email folder. This filter also checks users\u2019 outbound messages and its content. With anti-spoofing, messages are filtered from internal and external domains that have come from somewhere or someone other than its actual origin. Additionally, email authentication ensures the legitimacy of messages that pretend to be from senders in your domain.<\/p>\n<h3>Safe Links Protection<\/h3>\n<p>Safe Links is an added feature that also provides protection outside of email messages, like Microsoft Teams and Office 365 applications. Safe links scans attachments, documents, and filters and checks messages before they get delivered to recipients.<\/p>\n<p>As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, so will phishing attempts. The tools are out there. <a href=\"https:\/\/lg-staging.lougcloud.com\/contact-us\/\">contact Louisville Geek<\/a> to take advantage of Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and improve your organization\u2019s security posture.
