Ensure Priority accounts have 'Strict protection' presets applied
Why This Matters
Priority accounts like CEOs, CISOs, and IT admins hold access to sensitive data and elevated privileges, making them prime targets for spear phishing and whaling attacks. Without strict preset security policies, these accounts remain vulnerable to sophisticated impersonation, spoofing, and malware attacks. Applying the most aggressive protection preset reduces the risk of account compromise, even though it may occasionally generate false positives in anti-spam and phishing filters.
What Aether365 Checks
Aether365 verifies that all priority accounts have the "Strict protection" preset security policy applied in Microsoft 365 Defender. This check appears in your Aether365 dashboard under the microsoft-365 section and confirms that preset policies targeting spam, malware, and phishing are enforced for your highest-risk users.
