Microsoft Office Security: Defending Against Phishing & Malware

Office documents are a primary vector for malware and phishing. Securing your Office environment is critical for business safety.

1. Blocking Malicious Macros

Microsoft has started blocking VBA macros originating from the internet by default. Ensure this policy is strictly enforced across your organization to stop macro-based ransomware droppers.

2. Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Utilize DLP policies in Microsoft 365 to automatically detect and block the sharing of sensitive information, such as credit card numbers and social security numbers, via email or OneDrive.

3. Safe Links and Safe Attachments

Enable Defender for Office 365 to automatically scan attachments and rewrite URLs, providing real-time, click-time protection against zero-day phishing sites.
