Microsoft Defender for Office 365: False positive email release from Quarantine through threat explorer, email summary panel, advanced hunting, and custom detection email entity page take action

🚨 The Signal: Security operations can now release false positive emails from quarantine directly within Defender 365 threat investigation tools. This streamlines incident response by eliminating the need to navigate to a separate quarantine portal, improving efficiency in managing email threats.

The Impact

Security teams are affected, with a reduced risk of delayed response to legitimate threats due to improved false positive handling.

• Security Analysts: Faster false positive release, reducing investigation time.
• Incident Responders: Streamlined workflow for email threat remediation.
• Security Managers: Improved operational efficiency and threat response metrics.

The Action

1. Review existing Security Operations Centre (SOC) playbooks for email false positive handling.
2. Update SOC training materials to reflect new in-console release capabilities.
3. Communicate new workflow to security analysts using Microsoft Defender for Office 365.
