In the fast-paced world of cybersecurity, ensuring robust protection while minimizing operational interruptions is a constant challenge for MSPs. To help strike this balance, we are thrilled to launch two sophisticated features designed to streamline security processes and enhance client satisfaction.
Control Your Defender Exclusions
Purpose and Use Case:
This feature allows MSPs to configure specific exclusions in Microsoft Defender’s antivirus scanning process. It addresses the need to prevent trusted files, directories, and processes from becoming false positives and unnecessary security alerts.
Bottom Line: MSPs can define paths, processes, and extensions across their customers that should be excluded from antivirus scans within the device settings.
What’s New:
- Global or Per-Customer Configuration Options: Choose whether to apply exclusions globally or customize them by company.
- Configure and Manage Scan Exclusions: Fine-tune Windows Defender by specifying paths, processes, and extensions to exclude from scans.
- Simplify Management & Review: View and manage exclusions in one place, sorted by type, name, and the date they were added.
How to Configure:
- Security Controls -> Endpoint Security -> Microsoft Defender Exclusions

Enhanced Spam Management for Email Security Module
Purpose and Use Case:
This feature lets MSPs decide how to manage potential spam emails for their customers.
It’s now possible to tailor the email security strategy according to your customer’s specific needs.
With the increasing volume of spam emails, it’s crucial to have flexible options for managing these messages. This feature is designed to allow you to customize the spam handling process, ensuring that the inboxes are kept clean and secure without unnecessary disruptions.
What’s New:
- Spam Detection Toggle: A new section called “Spam Detection” has been added under “Email Protection Scan.”
Users can easily turn spam detection on or off according to their preferences. - Customizable Spam Handling: Users can now configure the system to perform one of the following actions when a spam email is detected:
- Add a banner and move the email to the junk/spam folder (Recommended).
- Add a banner and quarantine the email.
- Add a caution banner to the email.
- Improved Threat Management:
- New “Spam Emails” Issue Type: A new issue type, “Spam Emails,” has been added, which will recognize spam emails that, while not reaching the risk threshold, are typically unwanted.
- When a spam email is detected, an info-level issue will be generated under this new type.
- Admin Notifications: Admins who do not wish to receive alerts for spam-related issues can adjust their notification settings to avoid alerts for Info severity issues.

This update aims to provide users with more control and flexibility in managing spam emails, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the Email Security Module.
Improvements:
Suspicious Logins Improvements:
We’ve updated our logic for detecting suspicious logins from new locations to reduce noise and false positives.
Introducing Benchmarks: a new method to help identify safe logins.
Our Benchmarks mechanism is taking under consideration the following:
- Frequent use of the same User-Agent.
- Logins from familiar devices within the same organization.
- Trusted IPs.
We can’t wait for you to experience the newest updates! Keep your eyes peeled for more to come!
