Administration• EAC (/ecp)

– Good for:• Initial setup• Infrequent configurations• n00bs

• EOP cmdlets:– Good for

• Recipient management• Complex message tracking / Reporting• Consistent Transport Rule creation• Advanced configurations, not exposed in the GUI

(e.g. Azure RMS)

– Cmdlet reference: technet.microsoft.com/dn621038

• On-Premises Active Directory:– Recipient Management, if using Directory

Synchronization

#ITDEVCON


Administration• EAC Demo:

– Accepted Domains

– Connectors

– Rules

– Message Trace

– Filters• Malware

• Connection

• Spam

– Quarantine

#ITDEVCON


Administration• PowerShell:

– Like any tool, it is only useful once you learn how it works.

– Web portals change frequently; PowerShell cmdlets are more stable.

– Naturally encourages consistent configurations

– PowerShell automates virtually every Microsoft product

– Useful for documentation

#ITDEVCON


Administration• Data Loss/Leak Prevention

– ExO P2 or Ent. CAL required

– Not limited to Exchange (SPO, OneDrive, Office Apps)

– DLP policies contain 1 or more rules• Rule = Condition + Action

• ~40 Built-in templates exist (e.g. PCI DSS)

• Templates importable from 3rd

parties

• Build your own#ITDEVCON

DMARC, SPF & DKIM• Sender Policy Framework (SPF)

– Tell the internet who is authorized to send mail on behalf of <your domain here>• Validates 5322.From

– Limits spoofing and phishing

– Protect others:• DNS TXT records - easy to create with the

help of numerous online wizards

– Protect yourself:• Enable SPF filtering

– EAC\Protection\Spam Filter\<policy>\Advanced Options\SPF record Hard Fail

– PowerShell> Set-HostedContentFilterPolicy default -MarkAsSpamSpfRecordHardFail On

DMARC, SPF & DKIM• DomainKeys Identified

Mail (DKIM)– EOP Scans inbound DKIM

• Authentication-Results

• DKIM-Signature

• X-DkimResult-Test

– Outbound is still being rolled out

DMARC, SPF & DKIM

• DMARC– Validates 5322.From

• DMARC, SPF, DKIM Gotchya’s:– False negatives are common in

complex organizations which send mail from many systems or services

– Legitimate distribution lists can mess with SMTP headers

– Some DNS servers don’t support TXT records

– Not all recipient systems are going to bother reading your records

Problem Solution


Advanced Threat Protection• Aims to thwart:

– Unknown malware

– Phishing

• Per-user license– Requires EOP (does not require ExO)

– $2 extra, per user• Cheaper for government

• Not available for edu or non-profit

#ITDEVCON


Advanced Threat Protection• Safe Attachments

– Routes messages which meet the criteria to a sandbox. Scans for:

• Executables• Registry calls• Privilege escalation• etc.

• Safe Links– Re-writes (not proxies) URLs.

• Like a filtering version of bitly.com or tinyurl.com

– Inspects• Exchange Online• Exchange On-Prem• SharePoint in the future*

• Reporting– See who is being targeted & how the

phishing messages are crafted

EOP Deployment Tips

• Other Best Practices– Read the service descriptions

– EOP should not be daisy-chained

– Create firewall rules, allowing SMTP only from EOP’s IP ranges• Subscribe to the rss feed

– Route mail out through EOP as well• Helps with backscatter, <your> IP reputation, reporting

• Simplifies mail flow

– For high-confidence spam: Quarantine

– For med/low-confidence spam: Consider the end-user interactions• Central quarantine or delete all spam?

• Regular report?

• Personal quarantine?

• Junk folder routing?

– Use PowerShell
