Email and collaboration security service protecting against phishing, malware, and business email compromise.
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 protects email and collaboration tools (Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive) against sophisticated threats. Capabilities include Safe Attachments (sandboxing suspicious files), Safe Links (URL rewriting and scanning), anti-phishing protection, and attack simulation training. Plan 1 provides protection; Plan 2 adds investigation, hunting, and automation capabilities. It's included in Microsoft 365 E5 or available as add-on to other plans.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
Email is the primary attack vector. Defender for Office 365 provides protection beyond basic Exchange Online Protection—essential for blocking sophisticated phishing and BEC attacks targeting your organisation.
