In this episode of the Blue Security Podcast, Andy and Adam discuss recommended settings for Exchange Online Protection (EOP) and Microsoft Defender for Office (MDO). They explain that EOP is the core security for M365 subscriptions, providing anti-malware, anti-spam, and anti-phishing protection. They also highlight the importance of the secure by default feature in EOP and the use of admin submissions to report false positives and false negatives. They caution against using methods like Outlook safe senders, IP allow listing, and allowed senders list within anti-spam policies, as these can bypass important security measures. They emphasize the need for organizations to regularly review and clean up their EOP policies to ensure effective email security.
