Common questions about email security
- What does email security include?
Services include Microsoft Defender for Office 365, email domain protection, security awareness training with phishing simulations, Conditional Access rules, and alert monitoring.
- What is business email compromise and how is it checked?
Messages look like they come from an owner asking for payments. They often lack links or attachments, so safety tips and a phone call to a known number are the checks.
- Does Microsoft 365 email already have filtering built in and what does Defender for Office 365 add?
Built-in security provides basic anti-phishing for all cloud mailboxes. Defender for Office 365 adds impersonation protection, Safe Attachments detonation, and Safe Links scanning at the time of click.
- What happens to a message that is held in quarantine?
Malware and high-confidence phishing messages are always quarantined. An admin can review a quarantined message with its reason and policy type, then release it or allow the sender.
- What is a safety tip?
Safety tips warn inside the message when a sender might be impersonating a domain or person, or looks similar to someone the recipient has not emailed before.
- How does email security relate to email domain protection and awareness training?
Email domain protection uses SPF, DKIM and DMARC records to stop spoofing. Awareness training sends harmless phishing simulations so staff practice recognizing deceptive techniques.
