Information

Use spoof intelligence in the Security Center on the Anti-spam settings page to review all senders who are spoofing either domains that are part of your organization, or spoofing external domains. Spoof intelligence is available as part of Office 365 Enterprise E5 or separately as part of Defender for Office 365 and as of October, 2018 Exchange Online Protection (EOP).

Rationale:

Bad actors spoof domains to trick users into conducting actions they normally would not or should not via phishing emails.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
