Sensitivity labels are an effective way to manage containers like Teams, Microsoft 365 Groups, and SharePoint sites.

Many apps are created in the Azure AD for a tenant. Those apps have permissions to allow them to access data, and consent for those permissions are granted by administrators and users. How often do you check what apps are known in your Azure AD and what permissions those apps have?

A new Exchange Online feature allows users to send email using any of the SMTP proxy addresses assigned to their mailbox.

Organizations often disable Azure AD accounts when users leave or for other reasons. What you might not know is that Teams then removes the account from membership of individual teams. A background process looks for disabled users and removes these accounts from team memberships. That doesn't sound too bad, but what's horrible is when you unblock an account. Teams takes a long time (at least 24 hours) to restore standard teams, it might not ever restore membership of org-wide teams, and private channel membership is removed too. It's not a good situation.

Exchange Online has a new domain expiring soon alert, which means that a mail flow insight checks for soon-to-expire domains in the set of accepted domains for a tenant. When the insight detects a domain due to expire within 90, 60, and 30-day windows, it sends a high-severity alert to the tenant administrators to tell them that they should renew the domain(s).
