This new sharing experience simplifies the flow of emailing links to colleagues and guests and copying links to the clipboard. Like the original experience, the new experience presents two choices to users who want to share: type email addresses to send a link in email, or copy a link to the clipboard. Both the “Share” and “Get a link” command support all three types of links in OneDrive, including anonymous access links (accessible by anyone), company shareable links (accessible to those within your organization) and restricted links (accessible to a custom set of users both in and outside your organization). This allows users to more easily choose their method of sharing (email or copying to clipboard) while retaining the full set of permissions choices. As always, the new sharing experience respects all IT sharing and access policies that are in place, so users will be able to get their work done while complying with the practices established by their IT administrators. It is rolling out to customers this month and we expect it to be complete in February. |

In Exchange Online Protection, support for those certificates will end in mid Feb 2017. If your on premises servers are still using SHA1-based certificates after mid February, a secure TLS connection will not be possible between your servers and EOP. If you use Forced TLS for your connector for messages from EOP, none of those messages will be delivered. For messages from your on premises servers to EOP, no TLS connection means we will be unable to identify those messages as coming from you and will not be able to send them out to the internet. For any partner connectors with Forced TLS enabled, mail flow will stop to those partners if they also have a SHA1-based certificate.Please ensure that any SHA1-based TLS certificates are renewed to avoid any disruptions to mail flow |

Until now BIOS management has been proprietary per-OEM, often creating an inconsistent experience to deliver security with ease-of-deployment. With DFCI support, IT administrators gain the efficiency of cloud-scale remote firmware management with zero-touch device provisioning and built-in security. DFCI will initially apply to Surface devices, and an open-source framework will be published to enable third-party OEM partners. DFCI supports zero-touch provisioning, eliminates BIOS passwords, provides control of security settings including boot options and built-in peripherals, and lays the groundwork for advanced security scenarios in the future. |

We're making a change so that Modern Authentication will be enabled for the Windows Outlook client and Skype for Business client in all managed (non-federated) tenants that were created before to August 1, 2017. Those tenants already have Modern Authentication enabled for Outlook mobile, Outlook for Mac and Outlook on the Web, so there are no changes to any of those clients. |

| 2019-05-09 | Description | Description: We have been working on enhancing the email phishing and All-email views in Explorer by adding new functionalities to include additional details on URLs for our Office 365 ATP customers helping them drill down for a deeper investigation. The enhancements include: • URLs included in messages • Filtering based on URL information • Display of URL information in the graph/pivot • Safe Links time-of-click data on allowed/blocked clicks from messages Every time a potentially malicious URL click is detected by change in URL’s reputation post-detonation or overridden URL click, an alert is fired with linked details for the admin to take necessary action. This strengthens the loop by enabling analysis on URLs for delivered mail, supporting security analysis for missed phish, data loss, and other security investigations. Since the URL features will be in preview, URL data will be available for days as indicated in the user interface. This will extend as we go GA. We have also enriched phish detection events in the Office 365 management API. The schema will now include email phish and URL click events. We believe these enhanced views are critical to powering security investigation and remediation scenarios across advanced phishing attack vectors. |
