| 2022-06-14 | New Feature | Status: In Development Title: Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Support DKIM Domain as Sending Infrastructure for Spoof intelligence management Description: For Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and Exchange Online Protection, we are adding support for providing "DKIM verified domain" as the "Sending Infrastructure" within Tenant allow-block lists-Spoofing, so that Security Administrators can better manage Anti-Spoofing activity and override it based on Spoof Intelligence. Currently, what is supported in this field is either the domain from DNS PTR record or /24 IP Subnet. Additionally, being able to specify a 'DKIM verified domain' will help serve scenarios where shared infrastructure provider services are used for sending emails. Since the DKIM domain is unique to each tenant and if it passes verification even when other authentication signals fail, if desired for legitimate business reasons, a spoofed message can still be allowed instead of being blocked. |

| 2022-04-29 | New Feature | Status: In Development Title: SharePoint: SharePoint File Card for Government clouds Description: You can get quick insights on files before you even open them. When you see a file in OneDrive or SharePoint, point to the file, and then wait for the file card to appear. The file card tells you if a file is popular among your peers, how long it might take to read it, and even show the author key points. If you are working on the file with others, the file card will show you recent activities you haven't seen yet, a list of viewers and views, and links to places where you referenced the file in email, meetings, or Teams chats. The file card is only visible to people who have access to the file, so the information on the card is just as secure as your files. Also, what's shown on the file card is personalized to you. For example, the file card shows conversations you took part in, but doesn't show them to anyone who wasn't in that same conversation. The same is true of activity highlights; we'll show that you've been @mentioned, but we won't show that to others when they view the file card. |

ML-based noise suppression considers any non-speech signal picked up by the microphone as noise which should be suppressed. To avoid suppressing music and to allow users to enable the new high-fidelity music mode, we have built an ML-based music detector which will inform the user whenever music is present through a notification. This will give the end user the choice whether music is indeed an unwanted background noise, such as when calling into a meeting from a coffee shop, or if music is a desired signal, such as when participating in a music lesson. This new feature is now available to Edu customers only. We will communicate when this is available to commercial and government customers. |
