NEWS: Microsoft Threat Protection will automatically turn on for eligible license holders

Starting June 1, Microsoft will be enhancing the described Microsoft 365 security products with Microsoft Threat Protection features when an eligible customer visits the Microsoft 365 security center.

Microsoft Threat Protection enables coordinated defenses across email, endpoints, identities, and applications. It orchestrates defenses to detect, block, and prevent sophisticated attacks and automatically heal affected assets.
