MICROSOFT DEFENDER - SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE BEST PRACTICES FOR POLICIES

For Customer Exchange Administrators


SUMMARY

Customers looking for best practices to adjust Microsoft Defender for Office 365
to keep ContactMonkey emails flowing internally can utilize this article to help
their internal Office 365 Administration teams.  Customers should always
consider their security posture and business functionality requirements, as
balancing these two is unique to each company.  There is no one-size-fits-all
solution.

This article intends to provide some starting information for administrators to
investigate further.  If administrators have questions, please get in touch with
Microsoft by opening a ticket in your Microsoft Exchange or Defender portals,
and a Microsoft representative can always assist.

 


DEFENDER POLICIES

Microsoft Defender is Microsoft's security service for their Office/Microsoft
365 environment.  It contains both default services for Exchange Online, such as
the quarantine process, and additional paid services, such as advanced Endpoint
protection.

Customers may have fewer or more options depending on their Microsoft Defender
setup.  Within the console, customers' administrators can find a variety of
policies used to determine if emails may be subjected to quarantine.  Microsoft
explains the preset Security Policies and their function in the following
documentation: Microsoft Preset Security Policies. 

 


CUSTOM POLICY ADJUSTMENTS

Once administrators know their company's security stance and policies, they
should consider several points regarding ContactMonkey and the policy allow
lists.

To ensure emails continue to arrive without interruption, Customer should
consider their existing environment and look towards fine-tuning their policies
around email quarantines.  To ensure emails continue to be delivered and
customers can see information about their campaigns, customers should look to
allow the following. 

For example, Microsoft Exchange administrators can adjust quarantine policies
(requires administrator access) if they find too many emails are being flagged
as phishing or spam.  

Likewise, administrators may need to look to add some of ContactMonkey's
endpoints to their allow lists (requires administrator access) or Safelinks
policy (requires administrator access) if ContactMonkey trackers from internal
emails are being flagged for possible malicious intent.

Microsoft Defender Threat Policies (requires administrator access)

For a list of ContactMonkey endpoints, please do not hesitate to contact Support
or your Customer Success Manager for assistance.

 


ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS

Customers wanting to learn more and discover additional areas that can be
adjusted may also need to review the following documentation: 

 * Microsoft Zero Hour Auto Purge Policies
 * Microsoft Quarantine Settings
 * Microsoft Allow/Block URLs for Tenants [for Email at Scale Customers]
 * Microsoft Threat Hunting

 


POST-ADJUSTMENT TESTING

We advise customers to run tests in their environment after making their
changes.  Customer end users will want to attempt to send a campaign with all
tracking turned on, and administrators may need to make further adjustments to
find the proper adjustments to their security. 
Since the security stance of each company differs depending on their industry,
there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Administrators are encouraged to contact
Microsoft directly through their Exchange Administration portal if they require
further direction on making changes.
