Update - As part of a previously communicated Microsoft deprecation, Expel is no longer ingesting Microsoft Defender for Identity alerts (via the Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps integration). Any customers who have onboarded a Microsoft Defender XDR device have coverage and alerts are being processed.
We recommend that customers who have the Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps integration, but have not yet onboarded Microsoft XDR to Workbench, complete the onboarding as soon as possible (https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/38928860545299-Microsoft-Defender-XDR-Setup-for-Workbench). Please contact your Customer Success Manager if you need assistance with onboarding or if you have additional questions.

Identified - Microsoft is rolling out deprecation of legacy Exchange tokens that may prevent your users from being able to report emails using the Expel custom Office 365 Phishing button.

Expel is working on development and testing of an updated Expel O365/M365 Phishing button for web and desktop applications that will work with the NAA authentication scheme.

Until Expel is able to deploy the newly developed Phishing button, you should follow the instructions from Microsoft (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/outlook/turn-exchange-tokens-on-off) to enable legacy tokens for your tenant. It can take up to 24 hours for this change to take effect.

Contact support if you need assistance with this process.
