Setting up a Safe Attachments policy
Safe Attachments in Microsoft Defender provides an extra layer of security by using a virtual environment to analyze email attachments for malicious content before they are delivered to recipients. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a Safe Attachments policy.
Getting ready
To set up a Safe Attachments policy, you need Global or Security Administrator privileges. Ensure that audit logging is enabled for your organization, which can be done from the Microsoft Purview portal at https://purview.microsoft.com/audit. Additionally, verify that your Microsoft 365 licensing includes E5, A5, or Business Premium.
How to do it…
- Navigate to the Microsoft Defender portal at https://security.microsoft.com/ and go to Email & Collaboration | Policies & Rules.
- Select Threat policies, and then select Safe Attachments.
- Select Create, as shown in Figure 12.5, to set up a new policy.
