Endpoint DLP

Written by Jan Willemon

In July 2020, a public preview for Windows Endpoint DLP has started. Endpoint DLP works with the DLP Policies you create in the Compliance Portal. This gives you the ability to use the same labels and sensitivity types in your DLP policies for all locations – Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive for Business and Windows Endpoints.

In this video I show how to onboard your devices for Endpoint DLP and how to configure your policy. Of course we then take a look at the end user experience and finally I go through the reporting and alerting capabilities.

Restrict Guest Permissions in Azure Active Directory

Written by Jan Willemon

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) allows you to restrict what external guest users can see in their organization in Azure AD. Guest users are set to a limited permission level by default in Azure AD, while the default for member users is the full set of default user permissions.

This video shows a preview of a new guest user permission level in your Azure AD organization’s external collaboration settings for even more restricted access, so your guest access choices now are:

Permission levelAccess level
Same as member usersGuests have the same access to Azure AD resources as member users
Limited access (default)Guests can see membership of all non-hidden groups
Restricted access (new)Guests can’t see membership of any groups

Office Message Encryption

Written by Jan Willemon

Secure mail providers like Zivver or Zorgmail actually offer point solutions that increase cost considerably and store messages outside your Office 365 environment. This makes compliance, security and discovery more complex – if at all possible.

With Office 365 Message Encryption, your organization can send and receive encrypted email messages between people inside and outside your organization. Office 365 Message Encryption works with Outlook.com, Yahoo!, Gmail, and other email services. Email message encryption helps ensure that only intended recipients can view message content.

In this video I show you how it works!

Conditional Access for MFA and SSPR Registration

Written by Jan Willemon

A couple of weeks ago, the combined registration experience for Multi Factor Authentication and Self Service Password Reset was launched in public preview. This new registration experience enables users to register for MFA and SSPR in a single, step-by-step process.

A lot of organizations asked for control over the conditions in which security sensitive MFA or SSPR information can be registered, to ensure it’s the right user — not an attacker — registering this security sensitive info.

This is why Azure AD conditional access for our combined registration experience for MFA and SSPR is now available in Public Preview. This new Conditional Access functionality is part of the Azure AD Premium Plan 1 subscription.

In this video I show you how to configure this and what the user experience is like.

Written by Jan Willemon

Azure Information Protection helps your users make the right choices when it comes to data classification and protection. Exchange Online adds the power of Mail Flow Rules. Imagine you’d be able to combine those two tools… Indeed: you can!

Exchange Online can read classification labels created by Azure Information Protection. In Mail Flow Rules, you can define which actions should follow when a certain classification is detected.

See for yourself how to set this up in a few easy steps. And of course you will also see what the user experience will be like.

Azure AD B2B Support for Google Identities

Written by Jan Willemon

A long awaited feature in Azure AD B2B has become available in Public Preview: it is now possible to add Google as an identity provider for B2B guest users! This means, you can invite guest users from outside your company using their GMail-account.

Enabling Google federation makes your invited Gmail user’s experience more seamless. After you have set up B2B Google federation for your organization, invited Gmail users can use their Google identity to sign in and collaborate. They no longer need to create an Azure AD account or Microsoft Account to access the apps and resources you’re sharing with them!

To get this to work, there’s a number of steps that you need to take, which are thoroughly documented on Docs. Let’s see what it looks like:

Important note: at this moment there’s support only for Google ID’s with the @gmail.com extension.

Read all about this new feature in Alex Simons’ blog. Full documentation can be found on Microsoft Docs.
