In March 2022, Microsoft set up Outbound SMTP DANE with DNSSEC automatically. You didn't have to do anything for that yourself.

Inbound mail traffic (receiving e-mails), however, was a different story: there, it took until 2024 before Microsoft also made this functionality available.

In this article, we will explain step by step how to set up Inbound SMTP DANE and DNSSEC within Exchange Online.

Sometimes, you just want to know where you stand. Not because everything is going wrong — but because you want clarity. Or because you’re unsure whether past decisions still hold up.

At Brandaris, we carry out baseline assessments that go beyond ticking technical boxes. We look at systems and the people working with them.

Many companies have a mistaken perception of cybersecurity: it’s thought to be expensive, the subject matter complex, all while assuming they are not interesting targets for malicious actors.

A few years ago, manufacturers were battling it out in the antivirus software space. Then came terms like Endpoint Protection and Next-Gen AV, with every solution positioned as revolutionary. IT partners and vendors competed fiercely—full of bold promises and sharp marketing claims. But the question was (and still is): does it actually work?

Many organizations have been using the same cybersecurity tools for years—without stopping to ask: are they still effective? In a world where cyber threats evolve rapidly, relying on outdated tools can pose a serious risk. Yet, many companies continue to hold on to solutions that once worked well, but may now be outdated or no longer fit for purpose.
