Take action replaces the Message actions drop down list on the Email tab (view) of the details area of the All email, Malware, or Phish views in Threat Explorer (Explorer):

  • SecOps personnel can now create organization block entries on URLs and files via the Tenant Allow/Block List directly from Threat Explorer.
  • For 100 or fewer messages selected in Threat Explorer, SecOps personnel can take multiple actions on the selected messages from the same page. For example:
  • Purge email messages or propose email remediation.
  • Submit messages to Microsoft.
  • Trigger investigations.
  • Block entries in the Tenant Allow/Block List.
  • Actions are contextually based on the latest delivery location of the message, but SecOps personnel can use the Show all response actions toggle to allow all available actions.
  • For 101 or more messages selected, only email purge and propose remediation options are available.

Tip

A new panel allows SecOps personnel to look for indicators of compromise at the tenant level, and the block action is readily available.
