Enhanced Inline Protection for Internal Emails

- To configure inline protection for internal traffic, go to the Threat Detection policy, scroll all the way down and under Advanced Options, check the Protect (inline) Internal Traffic box.
Security Checkup Report Enhanced Scheduling
- Administrators can schedule and generate Security Checkup reports for the last month, the last period and specific date ranges.
- Until now, the report could cover the last 7, 14 and 30 days.

Enhanced Email Archive Import
- Administrators can now import larger email archives efficiently.

Scoped Security Checkup Reports
- Administrators can now generate and schedule Security Checkup reports for part of their organization.
- Large organizations often need to generate reports for specific parts of the organization - specific branches, regions, departments, etc.
- When generating or scheduling Security Checkup reports, administrators can now select which users the report will cover, based on the value in the Company and/or Department fields in Azure Active Directory.
- To do that, generate or schedule a report and under the Scope section, select whether the report will run on all users or a specific company/department.
- When scheduling the report, you can also choose to add the selected scope to the subject of the email containing the report, by checking the Add scope to email subject box.
Smart Banners - Exclude Specific Sender Domains
- Administrators can now avoid adding Smart Banners to emails from specific domains
- At times, organizations would like to refrain from adding Smart Banners to emails. It could be for automated emails received routinely from 3rd party systems, trusted senders, emails that must not be modified, etc.
- To exclude a sender domain from Smart Banners, go to User Interactions > Smart Banners > Settings and add the selected domains, separated by commas, in the Excluded sender domains box
Login with Google to the End User Portal
- Users can now log into the End User Quarantine Portal via Google.
- End users can now sign into the portal via Google, which in turn allows organizations to apply their corporate security measures – such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) - behind the Google login.
