Extract user access to Cloud Apps categories.
I’m having some issues with getting report data out of Defender for Cloud App. Short version is I want to get a report (or at the very least an export) of all users accessing sites in the Generative AI category. I can do this manually by following these steps: Open Cloud Discovery Click Discovered apps Enter Gnerative AI in the browser by category I now get a list of discovered sites but to get a list of users who have accessed them I have to: Click each app one at a time In each click Cloud app usage Click Users And finally export all users Imagine how long with would take for a category that has a high amount of usage and how inefficient this would be to provide monthly reporting. I tried to find a way to see in one step user activity for one Cloud App category, but I cannot. Any idea?Cloud app conditional access exceptions
I have a lot of issues with attackers coming from VPN and anonymous IP's. Im trialing a Conditional Access policy to apply Conditional Access App Control. Ive created a Cloud App, Access Policy to blocks using IP address, Category, equals and listing a few categories like VPN and Risky. Then another Access policy to block IP address, Tag, equals Tor, Anonymous, Random, Botnet etc. Testing shows this works. But I've been asked what if we wanted to allow a specific service like NordVPN. How can I achieve this?Why is Excel macros sometimes missing ?
I have an excel file with a lot of rectangular shapes showing a tree structure for a family. When the user clicks on one of the rectangulat shapes the 'story' of that person opens up in a Word dokument. BUT ... Most often the macro 'assigned' to the OnAction WONT run - instead this message comes up: The macros is NOT shown when I "show macros" but it IS present in the VBA section when I press alt+F11 ! When it's working it's most often reight after a reboot og the machine - then it maybe works in 10-30 minuts and then the problem is back again ! I HAVE chesked the security setting allowing macros to be activated ! I have tha SAME file running under Window 10 for years WITHOUT any problems !!!! I can see out there that people FOR YEARS have had similar problems with missing macros - but unfortunately I found no solution ! What the _BEEP_ is wrong here ?Disable Direct Send in Exchange Online to Mitigate Ongoing Phishing Threats
Direct Send allows devices and applications to send unauthenticated emails over port 25 directly to Exchange Online. While this may support legacy devices like printers or scanners, it also opens the door for threat actors to deliver spoofed emails without authentication. These messages often appear to come from trusted internal sources, making them especially dangerous. To reduce your organization’s exposure to this threat, it's strongly recommended to disable Direct Send using Microsoft’s newly introduced RejectDirectSend setting. You can quickly enable this setting using PowerShell: Connect-ExchangeOnline Set-OrganizationConfig -RejectDirectSend $true If you still have devices or applications that need to send emails, use authenticated SMTP submission or set up connector-based routing with certificate or IP restrictions.
