✅ Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 1 and Plan 2, ✅ Microsoft Defender XDR

Tip

Did you know you can try the features in Microsoft Defender XDR for Office 365 Plan 2 for free? Use the 90-day Defender for Office 365 trial at the Microsoft Defender portal trials hub. Learn about who can sign up and trial terms on Try Microsoft Defender for Office 365.

In organizations with Microsoft Defender for Office 365, anti-phishing policies provide the following types of protection:

The same anti-spoofing protection that's available in Exchange Online Protection (EOP). For more information, see Spoof settings.
Anti-impersonation protection from other types of phishing attacks. For more information, see Exclusive settings in anti-phishing policies in Microsoft Defender for Office 365.

The default anti-phishing policy automatically applies to all recipients. For greater granularity, you can also create custom anti-phishing policies that apply to specific users, groups, or domains in your organization.

You configure anti-phishing policies in the Microsoft Defender portal or in Exchange Online PowerShell.

For anti-phishing policy procedures in organizations without Defender for Office 365, see Configure anti-phishing policies in EOP.

What do you need to know before you begin?

You open the Microsoft Defender portal at https://security.microsoft.com. To go directly to the Anti-phishing page, use https://security.microsoft.com/antiphishing.
To connect to Exchange Online PowerShell, see Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can do the procedures in this article. You have the following options:
- Microsoft Defender XDR Unified role based access control (RBAC) (If Email & collaboration > Defender for Office 365 permissions is Active. Affects the Defender portal only, not PowerShell): Authorization and settings/Security settings/Core Security settings (manage) or Authorization and settings/Security settings/Core Security settings (read).
- Exchange Online permissions:
  - Add, modify, and delete policies: Membership in the Organization Management or Security Administrator role groups.
  - Read-only access to policies: Membership in the Global Reader, Security Reader, or View-Only Organization Management role groups.
- Microsoft Entra permissions: Membership in the Global Administrator^*, Security Administrator, Global Reader, or Security Reader roles gives users the required permissions and permissions for other features in Microsoft 365.
  
  Important
  
  ^* Microsoft recommends that you use roles with the fewest permissions. Using lower permissioned accounts helps improve security for your organization. Global Administrator is a highly privileged role that should be limited to emergency scenarios when you can't use an existing role.
For our recommended settings for anti-phishing policies in Defender for Office 365, see Anti-phishing policy in Defender for Office 365 settings.

Tip

Settings in the default or custom anti-phishing policies are ignored if a recipient is also included in the Standard or Strict preset security policies. For more information, see Order and precedence of email protection.
Allow up to 30 minutes for a new or updated policy to be applied.

Use the Microsoft Defender portal to create anti-phishing policies

In the Microsoft Defender portal at https://security.microsoft.com, go to Email & Collaboration > Policies & Rules > Threat policies > Anti-phishing in the Policies section. To go directly to the Anti-phishing page, use https://security.microsoft.com/antiphishing.
On the Anti-phishing page, select Create to open the new anti-phishing policy wizard.
On the Policy name page, configure these settings:
- Name: Enter a unique, descriptive name for the policy.
- Description: Enter an optional description for the policy.
When you're finished on the Policy name page, select Next.
On the Users, groups, and domains page, identify the internal recipients that the policy applies to (recipient conditions):
- Users: The specified mailboxes, mail users, or mail contacts.
- Groups:
  - Members of the specified distribution groups or mail-enabled security groups (dynamic distribution groups aren't supported).
  - The specified Microsoft 365 Groups.
- Domains: All recipients in the organization with a primary email address in the specified accepted domain.
Click in the appropriate box, start typing a value, and select the value that you want from the results. Repeat this process as many times as necessary. To remove an existing value, select next to the value.

For users or groups, you can use most identifiers (name, display name, alias, email address, account name, etc.), but the corresponding display name is shown in the results. For users or groups, enter an asterisk (*) by itself to see all available values.

You can use a condition only once, but the condition can contain multiple values:
- Multiple values of the same condition use OR logic (for example, <recipient1> or <recipient2>). If the recipient matches any of the specified values, the policy is applied to them.
- Different types of conditions use AND logic. The recipient must match all of the specified conditions for the policy to apply to them. For example, you configure a condition with the following values:
  - Users: romain@contoso.com
  - Groups: Executives
  The policy is applied to romain@contoso.com only if he's also a member of the Executives group. Otherwise, the policy isn't applied to him.
- Exclude these users, groups, and domains: To add exceptions for the internal recipients that the policy applies to (recipient exceptions), select this option and configure the exceptions.
  
  You can use an exception only once, but the exception can contain multiple values:
  - Multiple values of the same exception use OR logic (for example, <recipient1> or <recipient2>). If the recipient matches any of the specified values, the policy isn't applied to them.
  - Different types of exceptions use OR logic (for example, <recipient1> or <member of group1> or <member of domain1>). If the recipient matches any of the specified exception values, the policy isn't applied to them.
When you're finished on the Users, groups, and domains page, select Next.
On the Phishing threshold & protection page, configure the following settings:
- Phishing email threshold: Use the slider to select one of the following values:
  - 1 - Standard (This is the default value.)
  - 2 - Aggressive
  - 3 - More aggressive
  - 4 - Most aggressive
  For more information about this setting, see Advanced phishing thresholds in anti-phishing policies in Microsoft Defender for Office 365.
- Impersonation: These settings are conditions for the policy that identify specific senders to look for (individually or by domain) in the From address of inbound messages. For more information, see Impersonation settings in anti-phishing policies in Microsoft Defender for Office 365.
  - Enable users to protect: This setting isn't selected by default. To turn on user impersonation protection, select the check box, and then select the Manage (nn) sender(s) link. You identify the action for user impersonation detections on the next page.
    
    You identify the internal and external senders to protect by the combination of their display name and email address.
    
    Select Add user. In the Add user flyout that opens, do the following steps:
    - Internal users: Click in the Add a valid email box or start typing the user's email address. Select the email address in the Suggested contacts dropdown list that appears. The user's display name is added to the Add a name box (which you can change). When you're finished selecting the user, select Add.
    - External users: Type the external user's full email address in the Add a valid email box, and then select the email address in the Suggested contacts dropdown list that appears. The email address is also added in the Add a name box (which you can change to a display name).
    The users you added are listed on the Add user flyout by Name and Email address. To remove a user, select next to the entry.
    
    When you're finished on the Add user flyout, select Add.
    
    Back on the Manage senders for impersonation protection flyout, the users you selected are listed by Display name and Sender email address.
    
    To change the list of entries from normal to compact spacing, select Change list spacing to compact or normal, and then select Compact list.
    
    Use the Search box to find entries on the flyout.
    
    To add entries, select Add user and repeat the previous steps.
    
    To remove entries, do either of the following steps:
    - Select one or more entries by selecting the round check box that appears in the blank area next to the display name value.
    - Select all entries at once by selecting the round check box that appears in the blank area next to the Display name column header.
    When you're finished on the Manage senders for impersonation protection flyout, select Done to return to the Phishing threshold & protection page.
    
    Note
    
    You can specify a maximum of 350 users for user impersonation protection in each anti-phishing policy.
    
    User impersonation protection does not work if the sender and recipient have previously communicated via email. If the sender and recipient have never communicated via email, the message can be identified as an impersonation attempt.
    
    You might get the error "The email address already exists" if you try to add a user to user impersonation protection when that email address is already specified for user impersonation protection in another anti-phishing policy. This error occurs only in the Defender portal. You won't get the error if you use the corresponding TargetedUsersToProtect parameter in the New-AntiPhishPolicy or Set-AntiPhishPolicy cmdlets in Exchange Online PowerShell.

Use the Search box and a corresponding value to find specific anti-phishing policies.

Use Export to export the list of policies to a CSV file.

Select a policy by clicking anywhere in the row other than the check box next to the name to open the details flyout for the policy.

Tip

To see details about other anti-phishing policies without leaving the details flyout, use Previous item and Next item at the top of the flyout.

Use the Microsoft Defender portal to take action on anti-phishing policies

In the Microsoft Defender portal, go to Email & Collaboration > Policies & Rules > Threat policies > Anti-phishing in the Policies section. Or, to go directly to the Anti-phishing page, use https://security.microsoft.com/antiphishing.
On the Anti-phishing page, select the anti-phishing policy by using either of the following methods:
- Select the policy from the list by selecting the check box next to the name. The following actions are available in the More actions dropdown list that appears:
  - Enable selected policies.
  - Disable selected policies.
  - Delete selected policies.
- Select the policy from the list by clicking anywhere in the row other than the check box next to the name. Some or all following actions are available in the details flyout that opens:
  - Modify policy settings by selecting Edit in each section (custom policies or the default policy)
  - Turn on or Turn off (custom policies only)
  - Increase priority or Decrease priority (custom policies only)
  - Delete policy (custom policies only)

The actions are described in the following subsections.

Use the Microsoft Defender portal to modify anti-phishing policies

After you select the default anti-phishing policy or a custom policy by clicking anywhere in the row other than the check box next to the name, the policy settings are shown in the details flyout that opens. Select Edit in each section to modify the settings within the section. For more information about the settings, see the create anti-phishing policies section earlier in this article.

For the default policy, you can't modify the name of the policy, and there are no recipient filters to configure (the policy applies to all recipients). But, you can modify all other settings in the policy.

For the anti-phishing policies named Standard Preset Security Policy and Strict Preset Security Policy that are associated with preset security policies, you can't modify the policy settings in the details flyout. Instead, you select View preset security policies in the details flyout to go to the Preset security policies page at https://security.microsoft.com/presetSecurityPolicies to modify the preset security policies.

Use the Microsoft Defender portal to enable or disable custom anti-phishing policies

You can't disable the default anti-phishing policy (it's always enabled).

You can't enable or disable the anti-phishing policies that are associated with Standard and Strict preset security policies. You enable or disable the Standard or Strict preset security policies on the Preset security policies page at https://security.microsoft.com/presetSecurityPolicies.

After you select an enabled custom anti-phishing policy (the Status value is On), use either of the following methods to disable it:

On the Anti-phishing page: Select More actions > Disable selected policies.
In the details flyout of the policy: Select Turn off at the top of the flyout.

After you select a disabled custom anti-phishing policy (the Status value is Off), use either of the following methods to enable it:

On the Anti-phishing page: Select More actions > Enable selected policies.
In the details flyout of the policy: Select Turn on at the top of the flyout.

On the Anti-phishing page, the Status value of the policy is now On or Off.

Use the Microsoft Defender portal to set the priority of custom anti-phishing policies

Anti-phishing policies are processed in the order that they're displayed on the Anti-phishing page:

The anti-phishing policy named Strict Preset Security Policy that's associated with the Strict preset security policy is always applied first (if the Strict preset security policy is enabled).
The anti-phishing policy named Standard Preset Security Policy that's associated with the Standard preset security policy is always applied next (if the Standard preset security policy is enabled).
Custom anti-phishing policies are applied next in priority order (if they're enabled):
- A lower priority value indicates a higher priority (0 is the highest).
- By default, a new policy is created with a priority that's lower than the lowest existing custom policy (the first is 0, the next is 1, etc.).
- No two policies can have the same priority value.
The default anti-phishing policy always has the priority value Lowest, and you can't change it.

Anti-phishing protection stops for a recipient after the first policy is applied (the highest priority policy for that recipient). For more information, see Order and precedence of email protection.

After you select the custom anti-phishing policy by clicking anywhere in the row other than the check box next to the name, you can increase or decrease the priority of the policy in the details flyout that opens:

The custom policy with the Priority value 0 on the Anti-Phishing page has the Decrease priority action at the top of the details flyout.
The custom policy with the lowest priority (highest Priority value; for example, 3) has the Increase priority action at the top of the details flyout.
If you have three or more policies, the policies between Priority 0 and the lowest priority have both the Increase priority and the Decrease priority actions at the top of the details flyout.

When you're finished in the policy details flyout, select Close.

Back on the Anti-phishing page, the order of the policy in the list matches the updated Priority value.

Use the Microsoft Defender portal to remove custom anti-phishing policies

You can't remove the default anti-phishing policy or the anti-phishing policies named Standard Preset Security Policy and Strict Preset Security Policy that are associated with preset security policies.

After you select the custom anti-phishing policy, use either of the following methods to remove it:

On the Anti-phishing page: Select More actions > Delete selected policies.
In the details flyout of the policy: Select Delete policy at the top of the flyout.

Select Yes in the warning dialog that opens.

On the Anti-phishing page, the deleted policy is no longer listed.

Use Exchange Online PowerShell to configure anti-phishing policies

In PowerShell, the basic elements of an anti-phishing policy are:

The anti-phish policy: Specifies the phishing protections to enable or disable, the actions to apply for those protections, and other options.
The anti-phish rule: Specifies the priority and recipient filters (who the policy applies to) for the associated anti-phish policy.

The difference between these two elements isn't obvious when you manage anti-phishing policies in the Microsoft Defender portal:

When you create a policy in the Defender portal, you're actually creating an anti-phish rule and the associated anti-phish policy at the same time using the same name for both.
When you modify a policy in the Defender portal, settings related to the name, priority, enabled or disabled, and recipient filters modify the anti-phish rule. All other settings modify the associated anti-phish policy.
When you remove a policy in the Defender portal, the anti-phish rule and the associated anti-phish policy are removed at the same time.

In Exchange Online PowerShell, the difference between anti-phish policies and anti-phish rules is apparent. You manage anti-phish policies by using the *-AntiPhishPolicy cmdlets, and you manage anti-phish rules by using the *-AntiPhishRule cmdlets.

In PowerShell, you create the anti-phish policy first, then you create the anti-phish rule, which identifies the associated policy that the rule applies to.
In PowerShell, you modify the settings in the anti-phish policy and the anti-phish rule separately.
When you remove an anti-phish policy from PowerShell, the corresponding anti-phish rule isn't automatically removed, and vice versa.

Use PowerShell to create anti-phishing policies

Creating an anti-phishing policy in PowerShell is a two-step process:

Create the anti-phish policy.
Create the anti-phish rule that specifies the anti-phish policy that the rule applies to.

Notes:

You can create a new anti-phish rule and assign an existing, unassociated anti-phish policy to it. An anti-phish rule can't be associated with more than one anti-phish policy.
You can configure the following settings on new anti-phish policies in PowerShell that aren't available in the Microsoft Defender portal until after you create the policy:
- Create the new policy as disabled (Enabled $false on the New-AntiPhishRule cmdlet).
- Set the priority of the policy during creation (Priority <Number>) on the New-AntiPhishRule cmdlet).
A new anti-phish policy that you create in PowerShell isn't visible in the Microsoft Defender portal until you assign the policy to an anti-phish rule.

Step 1: Use PowerShell to create an anti-phish policy

To create an anti-phish policy, use this syntax:

New-AntiPhishPolicy -Name "<PolicyName>" [-AdminDisplayName "<Comments>"] <Additional Settings>

This example creates an anti-phish policy named Research Quarantine with the following settings:

The policy is enabled (we aren't using the Enabled parameter, and the default value is $true).
The description is: Research department policy.
Enables organization domains protection for all accepted domains, and targeted domains protection for fabrikam.com.
Specifies Quarantine as the action for domain impersonation detections, and uses the default quarantine policy for the quarantined messages (we aren't using the TargetedDomainQuarantineTag parameter).
Specifies Mai Fujito (mfujito@fabrikam.com) as the user to protect from impersonation.
Specifies Quarantine as the action for user impersonation detections, and uses the default quarantine policy for the quarantined messages (we aren't using the TargetedUserQuarantineTag parameter).
Enables mailbox intelligence (EnableMailboxIntelligence), allows mailbox intelligence protection to take action on messages (EnableMailboxIntelligenceProtection), specifies Quarantine as the action for detected messages, and uses the default quarantine policy for the quarantined messages (we aren't using the MailboxIntelligenceQuarantineTag parameter).
Changes the default action for spoofing detections to Quarantine, and uses the default quarantine policy for the quarantined messages (we aren't using the SpoofQuarantineTag parameter).
Honoring p=quarantine and p=reject in sender DMARC policies is on by default (we aren't using the HonorDmarcPolicy parameter, and the default value is $true).
- Messages that fail DMARC where the sender's DMARC policy is p=quarantine are quarantined (we aren't using the DmarcQuarantineAction parameter, and the default value is Quarantine).
- Messages that fail DMARC where the sender's DMARC policy is p=reject are rejected (we aren't using the DmarcRejectAction parameter, and the default value is Reject).
Enables all safety tips.

New-AntiPhishPolicy -Name "Monitor Policy" -AdminDisplayName "Research department policy" -EnableOrganizationDomainsProtection $true -EnableTargetedDomainsProtection $true -TargetedDomainsToProtect fabrikam.com -TargetedDomainProtectionAction Quarantine -EnableTargetedUserProtection $true -TargetedUsersToProtect "Mai Fujito;mfujito@fabrikam.com" -TargetedUserProtectionAction Quarantine -EnableMailboxIntelligence $true -EnableMailboxIntelligenceProtection $true -MailboxIntelligenceProtectionAction -AuthenticationFailAction Quarantine -EnableSimilarUsersSafetyTips $true -EnableSimilarDomainsSafetyTips $true -EnableUnusualCharactersSafetyTips $true

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see New-AntiPhishPolicy.

Step 2: Use PowerShell to create an anti-phish rule

To create an anti-phish rule, use this syntax:

New-AntiPhishRule -Name "<RuleName>" -AntiPhishPolicy "<PolicyName>" <Recipient filters> [<Recipient filter exceptions>] [-Comments "<OptionalComments>"]

This example creates an anti-phish rule named Research Department with the following conditions:

The rule is associated with the anti-phish policy named Research Quarantine.
The rule applies to members of the group named Research Department.
Because we aren't using the Priority parameter, the default priority is used.

New-AntiPhishRule -Name "Research Department" -AntiPhishPolicy "Research Quarantine" -SentToMemberOf "Research Department"

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see New-AntiPhishRule.

Use PowerShell to view anti-phish policies

To view existing anti-phish policies, use the following syntax:

Get-AntiPhishPolicy [-Identity "<PolicyIdentity>"] [| <Format-Table | Format-List> <Property1,Property2,...>]

This example returns a summary list of all anti-phish policies along with the specified properties.

Get-AntiPhishPolicy | Format-Table Name,IsDefault

This example returns all the property values for the anti-phish policy named Executives.

Get-AntiPhishPolicy -Identity "Executives"

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Get-AntiPhishPolicy.

Use PowerShell to view anti-phish rules

To view existing anti-phish rules, use the following syntax:

Get-AntiPhishRule [-Identity "<RuleIdentity>"] [-State <Enabled | Disabled] [| <Format-Table | Format-List> <Property1,Property2,...>]

This example returns a summary list of all anti-phish rules along with the specified properties.

Get-AntiPhishRule | Format-Table Name,Priority,State

To filter the list by enabled or disabled rules, run the following commands:

Get-AntiPhishRule -State Disabled | Format-Table Name,Priority

Get-AntiPhishRule -State Enabled | Format-Table Name,Priority

This example returns all the property values for the anti-phish rule named Contoso Executives.

Get-AntiPhishRule -Identity "Contoso Executives"

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Get-AntiPhishRule.

Use PowerShell to modify anti-phish policies

Other than the following items, the same settings are available when you modify an anti-phish policy in PowerShell as when you create the policy as described in the Step 1: Use PowerShell to create an anti-phish policy section earlier in this article.

The MakeDefault switch that turns the specified policy into the default policy (applied to everyone, always Lowest priority, and you can't delete it) is only available when you modify an anti-phish policy in PowerShell.
You can't rename an anti-phish policy (the Set-AntiPhishPolicy cmdlet has no Name parameter). When you rename an anti-phishing policy in the Microsoft Defender portal, you're only renaming the anti-phish rule.

To modify an anti-phish policy, use this syntax:

Set-AntiPhishPolicy -Identity "<PolicyName>" <Settings>

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Set-AntiPhishPolicy.

Tip

For detailed instructions to specify the quarantine policies to use in an anti-phish policy, see Use PowerShell to specify the quarantine policy in anti-phishing policies.

Use PowerShell to modify anti-phish rules

The only setting that isn't available when you modify an anti-phish rule in PowerShell is the Enabled parameter that allows you to create a disabled rule. To enable or disable existing anti-phish rules, see the next section.

Otherwise, no additional settings are available when you modify an anti-phish rule in PowerShell. The same settings are available when you create a rule as described in the Step 2: Use PowerShell to create an anti-phish rule section earlier in this article.

To modify an anti-phish rule, use this syntax:

Set-AntiPhishRule -Identity "<RuleName>" <Settings>

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Set-AntiPhishRule.

Use PowerShell to enable or disable anti-phish rules

Enabling or disabling an anti-phish rule in PowerShell enables or disables the whole anti-phishing policy (the anti-phish rule and the assigned anti-phish policy). You can't enable or disable the default anti-phishing policy (it's always applied to all recipients).

To enable or disable an anti-phish rule in PowerShell, use this syntax:

<Enable-AntiPhishRule | Disable-AntiPhishRule> -Identity "<RuleName>"

This example disables the anti-phish rule named Marketing Department.

Disable-AntiPhishRule -Identity "Marketing Department"

This example enables same rule.

Enable-AntiPhishRule -Identity "Marketing Department"

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Enable-AntiPhishRule and Disable-AntiPhishRule.

Use PowerShell to set the priority of anti-phish rules

The highest priority value you can set on a rule is 0. The lowest value you can set depends on the number of rules. For example, if you have five rules, you can use the priority values 0 through 4. Changing the priority of an existing rule can have a cascading effect on other rules. For example, if you have five custom rules (priorities 0 through 4), and you change the priority of a rule to 2, the existing rule with priority 2 is changed to priority 3, and the rule with priority 3 is changed to priority 4.

To set the priority of an anti-phish rule in PowerShell, use the following syntax:

Set-AntiPhishRule -Identity "<RuleName>" -Priority <Number>

This example sets the priority of the rule named Marketing Department to 2. All existing rules that have a priority less than or equal to 2 are decreased by 1 (their priority numbers are increased by 1).

Set-AntiPhishRule -Identity "Marketing Department" -Priority 2

Notes:

To set the priority of a new rule when you create it, use the Priority parameter on the New-AntiPhishRule cmdlet instead.
The default anti-phish policy doesn't have a corresponding anti-phish rule, and it always has the unmodifiable priority value Lowest.

Use PowerShell to remove anti-phish policies

When you use PowerShell to remove an anti-phish policy, the corresponding anti-phish rule isn't removed.

To remove an anti-phish policy in PowerShell, use this syntax:

Remove-AntiPhishPolicy -Identity "<PolicyName>"

This example removes the anti-phish policy named Marketing Department.

Remove-AntiPhishPolicy -Identity "Marketing Department"

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Remove-AntiPhishPolicy.

Use PowerShell to remove anti-phish rules

When you use PowerShell to remove an anti-phish rule, the corresponding anti-phish policy isn't removed.

To remove an anti-phish rule in PowerShell, use this syntax:

Remove-AntiPhishRule -Identity "<PolicyName>"

This example removes the anti-phish rule named Marketing Department.

Remove-AntiPhishRule -Identity "Marketing Department"

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Remove-AntiPhishRule.

How do you know these procedures worked?

To verify that you've successfully configured anti-phishing policies in Defender for Office 365, do any of the following steps:

On the Anti-phishing page in the Microsoft Defender portal at https://security.microsoft.com/antiphishing, verify the list of policies, their Status values, and their Priority values. To view more details, select the policy from the list by clicking anywhere in the row other than the check box next to the name and viewing the details in the flyout that appears.
In Exchange Online PowerShell, replace <Name> with the name of the policy or rule, and run the following command and verify the settings:
```
Get-AntiPhishPolicy -Identity "<Name>"
```
```
Get-AntiPhishRule -Identity "<Name>"
```
