Underlying signals

ESEC Unprotected Inbox (RS41)

Reasonings

  • Any inbox that is enabled regardless if it’s regular, shared, or a distribution group. Any inbox that can receive email.

• Inbox is not present in connected email security integration, or

• Domain is not present in connected email security integration

  • Some integrations do not provide the list of users protected by the tool, so Cork may infer that all inboxes of a domain are covered if that domain is present in the integration

Resolutions

• Add the inbox to your email security tool, or

• If user is being offboarded, disable the inbox

Additional Considerations

• Shared Inboxes are not monitored for compliance events directly. Protection for these is inferred based on the license status of the users who have permission to view that shared inbox.

• Microsoft recommends purchasing an individual Defender for Office 365 license for shared inboxes
