Microsoft this week announced two new features meant to improve the security of priority accounts in Microsoft 365.

Priority accounts refer to the accounts of the most visible and targeted employees, which require additional protection and increased attention from security teams.

Priority accounts protection is now available in public preview in Microsoft Defender for Office 365, allowing security teams to leverage the extra protection these accounts need.

"It will also be easy to filter the view to see only malicious emails targeted at priority accounts. Priority accounts will also be integrated with Submission explorer; submissions from any priority account will be tagged and filterable, allowing security teams to focus first on these submissions over others," the tech company explains.

While priority accounts are available to all Microsoft 365 customers, only Defender for Office 365 Plan 2 customers can leverage priority account protection.
