Microsoft is updating Defender for Office 365 to protect customers from embedded email threats while previewing quarantined emails.
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 provides Office 365 enterprise email accounts with protection from multiple threats, including business email compromise and credential phishing, as well as automated attack remediation.
"We're changing the way users preview quarantined messages to provide additional security against embedded threats," Microsoft explains on the Microsoft 365 roadmap.
During the next few months, Microsoft is also planning to add several other enhancements, including hourly end-user spam alert and large-scale bulk release to help SecOps professions to release more than 100 mails at one time.
Earlier this year, Microsoft announced that Defender for Office 365 would make it easier for customers to identify users and domains targeted in impersonation-based phishing attacks.
Defender for Office 365 will also notify Office 365 customers of suspected nation-state hacking activity detected within their tenants.
