Priority account protection

This is a simple toggle on or off to enable priority account protection, requires tagging users with the Priority account tag. You can read more about this feature from Microsoft.

There are other features gained by tagging an account as a priority but this feature grants these specifically:

  • Accounts and their alerts will be marked as a priority, this is helpful if your organization is larger and your security team might not immediately recognize some priority executive accounts.
  • Microsoft applies additional heuristic checks to priority accounts, stating executive email patterns aren't the same as a regular employee and that these heuristics don't help regular users.
