Working with a default security policy

You can enable company-wide protection by applying a default security policy to all of the mailboxes of your organization. By default, this security policy is not applied to any mailboxes.

The default security policy has the following settings:

• Delete email messages with malware or phishing detected.

  A type of internet fraud aimed at obtaining unauthorized access to users' confidential data.

  Programs that are specifically designed to delete, block, modify, or copy data, or to disrupt the performance of computers and/or computer networks. This category includes viruses, worms, Trojans, and other programs used to automatically conduct malicious activity.

• Add the [!!Spam] tag to subjects of email messages that are identified as spam.

  Unsolicited mass email mailings, most often including advertisements.

• Add the [!!Massmail] tag to subjects of email messages that are identified as mass mail.

  Email messages that are generally sent by email marketing services in large numbers by subscription and are not detected as spam. For example, newsletters or marketing emails are detected as mass mail.

To apply the default security policy:

1. Open the Kaspersky Security for Microsoft Office 365 Management Console.
2. In the left part of the page, select the Protection settings section.
3. In the upper part of this section, select the Exchange Online subsection.
4. Click the default security policy.

   The Security policy properties window is displayed.

5. Click the Edit button.

   The policy configuration window is displayed.

6. In the Protected mailboxes section, select Protect all users and groups.
7. Click Save.

All new mailboxes subsequently added to your Office 365 organization will be included automatically in the protection scope.
