Daily Defender News
A cross-product view of Microsoft Defender changes related to Identity protection.
Microsoft Defender Unified RBAC will auto-enable on tenants starting late September 2026, completing by December 2026. It unifies access management across Defender and Sentinel workloads, importing existing roles with a 30-day notification period before activation. Opt-out is available post-activation; other Microsoft permissions remain unchanged.
Microsoft Defender for Identity now includes a new sensor health issue, "No Windows events received from domain controller," to alert administrators of missing Windows events. This improves visibility into event collection gaps affecting detections. It is available now, requires no pre-rollout action, and helps identify domain controller issues.
