+## Optimize for Search
+
+Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 provides the ability for users to find and access their content through natural language prompting. Copilot ensures data security and privacy by adhering to existing obligations and integrating with your organization's policies. It utilizes your Microsoft Graph content with the same access controls as other Microsoft 365 services. To get the most out of Copilot, you should consider optimizing data and content for Search, to ensure optimal secure access. To learn more about privacy with Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365, see [Data, Privacy, and Security for Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365](microsoft-365-copilot-privacy.md).
+
+### Applying principles of Just Enough Access
+
+From the SharePoint admin center, you can review SharePoint site access to check permissions and access to ensure data is secure, prioritizing sites that contain sensitive information.
++
+You can check on site privacy by going to Active Sites, then selecting a site, and going to Settings. Setting a site as Private means that only users in your organization with access to the site will find it. You can also review access under the Membership tab, as well as site owners, members, and visitors.
-## Manage licenses for Copilot
+>[!NOTE]
+> A helpful strategy to balance effort and maximizing impact is to establish a data definition for sensitivity and consider prioritizing the review of SharePoint sites, focusing first on the most critical repositories, then deploying licenses to users and piloting Copilot and implementing a process to iterate through the rest of your repositories in parallel with expanding user base. This provides a consistent loop of feedback from users to continually refine access without delaying deployment. [Jump to the deployment section below](#plan-for-deployment-and-measure-adoption-impact-and-sentiment) for a more detailed strategy to deploy and drive adoption.
-You can manage Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 licenses from the Microsoft 365 admin center. You can assign licenses to individual users or to groups of users, as well as reassign licenses to other users.  
+With an eligible license, you can set up auto-classifiers for content on a SharePoint site by going to the site, selecting the Settings icon on the top right, going to Library Settings, and adjusting default sensitivity labels. This feature ensures that content created or edited inherits this label. Content that is moved to the site without appropriate labels will trigger a notification.
+
+### Configure advanced policies with Microsoft Purview
++
+In the Microsoft Purview compliance portal, you can create sensitivity labels by navigating to the Labels tab to customize policies to best fit your data sensitivity classifications. You can also configure auto-labeling by navigating the Auto-labeling menu on the left navigation, under Information protection. Select a label or create a new label policy, and configure protections for content that has the label applied.
+
+These labels can also be applied based on content found within documents using data loss prevention (DLP) policies. These policies allow labels to be automatically applied when specific types of content are identified in a document, for example, personally identifiable information like addresses, tax information or passport numbers. You can also DLP policies to trainable classifiers that identify categories of content like source code, financial documents, HR and more. You can also set up endpoint DLP policies that would restrict users from actions like copying content to clipboard or removable USB devices or printing.
+
+### Audit Copilot activity in Microsoft Purview
+
+All activity from Copilot for Microsoft 365 can be discoverable using content search in the Microsoft Purview portal for audit and review. From the Microsoft Purview portal, you can initiate an audit from the Audit tab on the left navigation. You can also apply retention policies to retain content in prompts and responses based on your organization requirements. eDiscovery and communication compliance policies are also supported for Copilot for Microsoft 365 activity through the Purview portal, allowing you to set up flags for any content matches policies configured. For example, you can set up a policy to flag for activity that includes specific words or code names.
+
+For more information on data security and compliance configurations using Microsoft Purview, see [Microsoft Purview data security and compliance protections for Microsoft Copilot](/purview/ai-microsoft-purview).
+
+Review your privacy settings for Microsoft 365 Apps because those settings might have an effect on the availability of Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 features. For more information, see [Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 and policy settings for connected experiences](microsoft-365-copilot-privacy.md#microsoft-copilot-for-microsoft-365-and-policy-settings-for-connected-experiences).
+
+## Update channels
+
+Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 will follow Microsoft 365 Apps' standard practice for deployment and updates, being available in all update channels, except for Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel. Preview channels include Current Channel (Preview) and Beta Channel. Production channels include Current Channel and then Monthly Enterprise Channel.

To disable a specific set of Microsoft 365 services for users for a specific licensing plan, perform the following steps:
-#### Step 1: Identify the undesired services in the licensing plan by using the following syntax
- First list the licensing plans available in your tenant using the following command. ```powershell
$addLicenses = @(
Set-MgUserLicense -UserId "belinda@litwareinc.onmicrosoft.com" -AddLicenses $addLicenses -RemoveLicenses @() ```
-## Use the Microsoft Azure Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell
-
-First, [connect to your Microsoft 365 tenant](connect-to-microsoft-365-powershell.md#connect-with-the-microsoft-azure-active-directory-module-for-windows-powershell).
-
-Next, use this command to view your available licensing plans, also known as AccountSkuIds:
-
-```powershell
-Get-MsolAccountSku | Select AccountSkuId | Sort AccountSkuId
-```
-
-> [!NOTE]
->PowerShell Core does not support the Microsoft Azure Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell module and cmdlets with **Msol** in their name. To continue using these cmdlets, you must run them from Windows PowerShell.

-
-### Disable specific Microsoft 365 services for specific users for a specific licensing plan
-
-To disable a specific set of Microsoft 365 services for users for a specific licensing plan, perform the following steps:
-
-#### Step 1: Identify the undesired services in the licensing plan by using the following syntax
-
-```powershell
-$LO = New-MsolLicenseOptions -AccountSkuId <AccountSkuId> -DisabledPlans "<UndesiredService1>", "<UndesiredService2>"...
-```
-
-The following example creates a **LicenseOptions** object that disables the Office and SharePoint Online services in the licensing plan named `litwareinc:ENTERPRISEPACK` (Office 365 Enterprise E3).
-
-```powershell
-$LO = New-MsolLicenseOptions -AccountSkuId "litwareinc:ENTERPRISEPACK" -DisabledPlans "SHAREPOINTWAC", "SHAREPOINTENTERPRISE"
-```
-
-#### Step 2: Use the **LicenseOptions** object from Step 1 on one or more users
-
-To create a new account that has the services disabled, use the following syntax:
-
-```powershell
-New-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName <Account> -DisplayName <DisplayName> -FirstName <FirstName> -LastName <LastName> -LicenseAssignment <AccountSkuId> -LicenseOptions $LO -UsageLocation <CountryCode>
-```
-
-The following example creates a new account for Allie Bellew that assigns the license and disables the services described in Step 1.
-
-```powershell
-New-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName allieb@litwareinc.com -DisplayName "Allie Bellew" -FirstName Allie -LastName Bellew -LicenseAssignment litwareinc:ENTERPRISEPACK -LicenseOptions $LO -UsageLocation US
-```
-
-For more information about creating user accounts in PowerShell for Microsoft 365, see [Create user accounts with PowerShell](create-user-accounts-with-microsoft-365-powershell.md).
-
-To disable the services for an existing licensed user, use the following syntax:
-
-```powershell
-Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName <Account> -LicenseOptions $LO
-```
-
-This example disables the services for the user BelindaN@litwareinc.com.
-
-```powershell
-Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName belindan@litwareinc.com -LicenseOptions $LO
-```
-
-To disable the services described in Step 1 for all existing licensed users, specify the name of your Microsoft 365 plan from the display of the **Get-MsolAccountSku** cmdlet (such as **litwareinc:ENTERPRISEPACK**), and then run the following commands:
-
-```powershell
-$acctSKU="<AccountSkuId>"
-$AllLicensed = Get-MsolUser -All | Where {$_.isLicensed -eq $true -and $_.licenses.AccountSku.SkuPartNumber -contains ($acctSKU).Substring($acctSKU.IndexOf(":")+1, $acctSKU.Length-$acctSKU.IndexOf(":")-1)}
-$AllLicensed | ForEach {Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName -LicenseOptions $LO}
-```
-
- If you use the **Get-MsolUser** cmdlet without using the _All_ parameter, only the first 500 user accounts are returned.
-
-To disable the services for a group of existing users, use either of the following methods to identify the users:
-
-**Method 1. Filter the accounts based on an existing account attribute**
-
-To do this, use the following syntax:
-
-```powershell
-$x = Get-MsolUser -All <FilterableAttributes>
-$x | ForEach {Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName -LicenseOptions $LO}
-```
-
-The following example disables the services for users in the Sales department in the United States.
-
-```powershell
-$USSales = Get-MsolUser -All -Department "Sales" -UsageLocation "US"
-$USSales | ForEach {Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName -LicenseOptions $LO}
-```
-
-**Method 2: Use a list of specific accounts**
-
-To do this, perform the following steps:
-
-1. Create a text file that contains one account on each line like this:
-
- ```powershell
- akol@contoso.com
- tjohnston@contoso.com
- kakers@contoso.com
- ```
-
- In this example, the text file is C:\\My Documents\\Accounts.txt.
-
-2. Run the following command:
-
- ```powershell
- Get-Content "C:\My Documents\Accounts.txt" | foreach {Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName $_ -LicenseOptions $LO}
- ```
-
-If you want to disable access to services for multiple licensing plans, repeat the above instructions for each licensing plan, ensuring that:
--- The user accounts have been assigned the licensing plan.-- The services to disable are available in the licensing plan.-
-To disable Microsoft 365 services for users while you are assigning them to a licensing plan, see [Disable access to services while assigning user licenses](disable-access-to-services-while-assigning-user-licenses.md).
-
-### Assign all services in a licensing plan to a user account
-
-For user accounts that have had services disabled, you can enable all services for a specific licensing plan with these commands:
-
-```powershell
-$userUPN="<user account UPN>"
-$acctSKU="<AccountSkuId>"
-$LO = New-MsolLicenseOptions -AccountSkuId $acctSKU
-Set-MsolUserLicense -UserPrincipalName $userUPN -LicenseOptions $LO
-```

+Teams enables physicians, clinicians, nurses, and other staff to collaborate efficiently with collaboration features in Teams.
- Set up teams and channels for your health teams and information workers. Use channels with tabs as a way to structure their work, with additional help from tabs to which they can pin information sources. - Chat, post messages, and communicate. Your team can have persistent conversations about different patients needing attention. - Call and meet with members of the health team. Set up individual meetings, or use channel meetings to manage daily meetings, both with the power of Teams audio, video, screen sharing, recording, and transcription features. - Store and share files and documents. Your health team is part of a single virtualized team that works and collaborates on Office documents.
-### Secure messaging
+### Messaging for healthcare organizations
-Secure messaging supports collaboration within health teams, including several new features:
+Messaging policies in Teams are used to control which chat and channel messaging features are available to users. You can edit the settings in the global (Org-wide default) policy or create and assign custom messaging policies to turn on or turn off the features that you want.
-- A message sender can set a special priority for their message, so the recipient is repeatedly notified until they read the message.-- A message sender can request a read receipt, so they are notified when a message they sent was read by the message recipient.
+For example, consider enabling the following messaging features for your health teams:
-Together, these features allow quicker attention to urgent messages and confidence that the message was received and read. New health teams using these features can be created on a per-patient basis. These features are policy-based, and can be assigned to individuals or entire Teams.
+- Users can send urgent messages using priority notifications, so the recipient is repeatedly notified until they read the message.
+- Users can use read receipts to know when the chat messages they send are read by the recipient.
-To learn more, see [Get started with Secure Messaging policies for Healthcare organizations](messaging-policies-hc.md).
+Together, these features allow quicker attention to urgent messages and confidence that the message was received and read.
-Also related to secure messaging is the ability to have other tenants federated by Healthcare organizations, allowing richer inter-tenant communication. To learn more, see [Manage external meetings and chat in Microsoft Teams](/microsoftteams/manage-external-access).

Health teams can use the Patients template to get started. They can create lists to track the needs and status of patients. Existing patient data on Excel spreadsheets can be brought in to create a list in Teams. These lists can be used for scenarios such as rounds and patient monitoring to coordinate care.
-For example, a charge nurse creates a patient list in a team that includes all health team members. During rounds, the health team access Teams on their mobile devices and update patient information in the list, which everyone on the team can view to stay in sync. At rounding sessions where the health team gathers to discuss and evaluate key health performance metrics to ensure a patient is on the right glide path to discharge, they can share this information using Teams on a large display screen. health team members who aren't on site can join remotely.

+# Manage Loop app preview access
+
+This article details the Cloud Policy setting used to gate access to the Loop app preview experiences within your organization.
+
+## User experience expectations when admin settings are configured
+
+When a user account in your organization is provided access to the Loop app preview experience, they can choose between the standard or the preview experience. These users default to preview for each Loop app session and are able to manually switch to standard if needed.
+
+## Microsoft 365 Groups for Cloud Policy
+
+If you want to scope the Cloud Policy settings to only some users in your tenant, you must create or use an existing Microsoft 365 group that defines which users in your organization this policy applies to. To create a Microsoft 365 group, see [Create a Microsoft 365 group](/microsoft-365/admin/create-groups/create-groups).
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This section isn't required if you choose to apply the Loop settings to all the users in your tenant.
+
+You are able to use this group for the Cloud Policy setup procedure specified in [Configuring preview user accounts in Cloud Policy](#configuring-preview-user-accounts-in-cloud-policy).
+
+If you prefer, you can also create other types of groups to use with Cloud Policy. For more information, see [learn more about creating groups in the Microsoft 365 admin center](/microsoft-365/admin/email/create-edit-or-delete-a-security-group) or [learn more about creating dynamic groups in AzureAD](/azure/active-directory/external-identities/use-dynamic-groups).

+- **Enable preview features for Loop**
+
+1. Sign in to [https://config.office.com](https://config.office.com) with your Microsoft 365 admin credentials.
+1. Select **Customization** from the left pane.
+1. Select **Policy Management**.
+1. Create a new policy configuration or edit an existing one.
+1. From the **Choose the scope** dropdown list, choose either **All users** or select the group for which you want to apply the policy. For more information, See [Microsoft 365 Groups for Cloud Policy](#microsoft-365-groups-for-cloud-policy).
+1. In **Configure Settings**, choose one of the following settings:
+ - For **Enable preview features for Loop**:
+ - **Enabled**: Loop app preview experience is available to the users.
+ - **Disabled**: Loop app preview experience isn't available to the users.
+ - **Not configured**: Loop app preview experience isn't available to the users.
+1. Save the policy configuration.
+1. Reassign priority for any security group, if necessary. (If two or more policy configurations are applicable to the same set of users, the one with the higher priority is applied.)
+
+In case you create a new policy configuration or change the configuration for an existing policy, there can be a delay in the change being reflected as described:
+
+- If there were existing policy configurations before the change, then it takes 90 mins for the change to be reflected.
+- If there were no policy configurations before the change, then it takes 24 hours for the change to be reflected.

-## Sample investigation topics that you can consult with Microsoft Defender Experts - Experts on Demand
-
-### Alert information
--- We see a new type of alert for a living-off-the-land binary: [AlertID]. Can you tell us something more about this alert and how we can investigate further?-- We've observed two similar attacks, which try to execute malicious PowerShell scripts but generate different alerts. One is "Suspicious PowerShell command line" and the other is "A malicious file was detected based on indication provided by O365". What is the difference?-- I receive an odd alert today for abnormal number of failed logins from a high profile user's device. I can't find any further evidence around these sign-in attempts. How can Defender for Endpoint see these attempts? What type of sign-ins are being monitored?-- Can you give more context or insights about this alert: "Suspicious behavior by a system utility was observed".-
-### Possible device compromise
--- Can you help answer why we see "Unknown process observed?" This message or alert is seen frequently on many devices. We appreciate any input to clarify whether this message or alert is related to malicious activity.-- Can you help validate a possible compromise on the following system on [date] with similar behaviors as the previous [malware name] malware detection on the same system in [month]?-
-### Threat intelligence details
--- We detected a phishing email that delivered a malicious Word document to a user. The malicious Word document caused a series of suspicious events, which triggered multiple Endpoint Attack Notifications alerts for [malware name] malware. Do you have any information on this malware? If yes, can you send me a link?-- I recently saw a [social media reference, for example, Twitter or blog] post about a threat that is targeting my industry. Can you help me understand what protection Defender for Endpoint provides against this threat actor?-
-### Defender Experts' alert communications
--- Can your incident response team help us address the Endpoint Attack Notifications that we got?-- I received this Endpoint Attack Notifications from Microsoft Defender Experts. We don't have our own incident response team. What can we do now, and how can we contain the incident?-- I received an Endpoint Attack Notifications from Microsoft Defender Experts. What data can you provide to us that we can pass on to our incident response team?-

Microsoft Defender Antivirus is a major component of your next-generation protection in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. This protection brings together machine learning, big-data analysis, in-depth threat resistance research, and the Microsoft cloud infrastructure to protect devices (or endpoints) in your organization. Microsoft Defender Antivirus is built into Windows, and it works with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to provide protection on your device and in the cloud.
+## Microsoft Defender Antivirus capabilities
+
+Microsoft Defender Antivirus provides anomaly detection, a layer of protection for malware that doesnΓÇÖt fit any predefined pattern. Anomaly detection monitors for process creation events or files that are downloaded from the internet. Through machine learning and cloud-delivered protection, Microsoft Defender Antivirus can stay one step ahead of attackers. Anomaly detection is on by default and can help block attacks such as [3CX Security Alert for Electron Windows App](https://www.3cx.com/blog/news/desktopapp-security-alert/). Microsoft Defender Antivirus started blocking this malware four days before the attack was registered in VirusTotal.
+
+Modern malware requires modern solutions. Microsoft Defender Antivirus stopped using signature-based engine detections many years ago. The scale and scope of todayΓÇÖs ever-evolving malware landscape requires adaptive, predictive technologies such as, machine learning, applied science, and artificial intelligence to keep you and your organizations safe.
+
+Microsoft Defender Antivirus can block almost all malware at first sight, in milliseconds.
+
+WeΓÇÖve also designed our antivirus solution to work in both online and offline scenarios. For offline scenarios, the latest dynamic intelligence from the Intelligence Security Graph is provisioned to the endpoint regularly throughout the day. When connected to the cloud, itΓÇÖs fed real-time intelligence from the [Intelligent Security Graph](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2018/04/17/connect-to-the-intelligent-security-graph-using-a-new-api/).
+
+Microsoft Defender Antivirus can also stop threats based on their behaviors and process trees even when the threat has started execution. A common example of these kinds of attacks is fileless malware. Microsoft's Next-generation protection features work together to identify and block malware based on abnormal behavior. To learn more, see [Behavioral blocking and containment](behavioral-blocking-containment.md).
+ ## Compatibility with other antivirus products If you're using a non-Microsoft antivirus/antimalware product on your device, you might be able to run Microsoft Defender Antivirus in passive mode alongside the non-Microsoft antivirus solution. It depends on the operating system used and whether your device is onboarded to Defender for Endpoint. To learn more, see [Microsoft Defender Antivirus compatibility](microsoft-defender-antivirus-compatibility.md).

Last updated 02/28/2024
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint includes next-generation protection to catch and block all types of emerging threats. The majority of modern malware is polymorphic, meaning it constantly mutates to evade detection. As soon as one variant is identified, another takes its place. This rapid evolution underscores the need for agile and innovative security solutions.
-Next-generation protections, such as Microsoft Defender Antivirus blocks malware using local and cloud-based machine learning models, behavior analysis, and heuristics. Microsoft Defender Antivirus uses predictive technologies, machine learning, applied science, and artificial intelligence to detect and block malware at the first sign of abnormal behavior.

## Contain user from the network
-When an identity in your network might be compromised, you must prevent that identity from accessing the network and different endpoints. Defender for Endpoint can "contain" an identity, blocking it from access, and helping prevent attacks-- specifically, ransomware. When an identity is contained, any supported Microsoft Defender for Endpoint onboarded device will block incoming traffic in specific protocols related to attacks (network logons, RPC, SMB, RDP) while enabling legitimate traffic. This action can significantly help to reduce the impact of an attack. When an identity is contained, security operations analysts have extra time to locate, identify and remediate the threat to the compromised identity.
