While using Web Content Filter in Defender for Endpoint (ATP), we select the option to block "Web-based email".

This feature blocks websites like gmail.com, outlook.com, which is great. Although it does block office.com -> Outlook Web also which is not that great cause this is the corporate way/mail.

Any idea if there are exclusion options for the web content filter? Maybe a different solution to block gmail.com/outlook.com on the endpoints?

    Hello Joeyvldn

    The solution is very easy:

    Within Microsoft Defender ATP navigate to Settings -> Indicators -> URLs/Domains , click on +Add Indicator and in the URL/Domain field type the domain to be whitelisted then click Next. then click Allow as the Response Action , add title and decription and ready.

    Hope this resolved your question,
    Best regards,
