Microsoft is working to improve Microsoft Defender for Office 365 with priority protection features for high-profile employee accounts, such as executive-level managers, that threat actors are most likely to target. Microsoft Defender for Office 365 (formerly known as Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection) provides Office 365 business accounts with protection against advanced threats, including credential phishing and business email intrusion, automatically restoring detected attacks. The feature is currently in public preview and Microsoft plans to make it publicly available to all customers with Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection in November 2020.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (formerly Microsoft Defender ATP) risk assessment settings for iOS compliance policies are now available in public preview in the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center. We are excited to share this public preview as several customers have been waiting for this opportunity. Customers can find the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint setting when they create a new device compliance policy for iOS, where they can set devices to be marked as incompatible if a specific risk score for the machine (Clear, Low, Medium, High) is not met.
