Reduced Teams AV Bot OAuth Permissions
Along with extensive testing, Exoprise reduced the set of permissions required by the Teams AV Bot OAuth authorization. Tenant admin consent is still required. Under utilized permissions were removed.
Go here to update the OAuth registration and synchronize your tenant with the reduced Bot permissions. This is not an immediate requirement, the permissions were unused. Updating the registration should have no effect on the running sensors. Accepting or updating the registration still requires tenant admin.
More information can be found here and instructions on how to accept the new OAuth authorization.
Upgraded TLS and Forward Secrecy for our Load Balancers
Exoprise recently upgraded the minimum supported TLS versions to TLSv1.2 If you have trouble connecting you will need to upgrade your browsers to a newer version (you shouldn’t be running anything that old anyway).

We released a beta for a new Email Graph sensor that utilizes OAuth and the Microsoft Graph API. This sensor executes more actions against the Exchange mailbox captures end-to-end message queue hop statistics. This enables customers to diagnose slow mail queue servers, senders and more.
Configure an Email Graph Sensor
More Actions and Timings Against the Mailbox
More actions that are supported by the Graph API are executed against the mailbox which exercises more functionality of Exchange including Listing Folders, Listing and Sorting inbox items, checking Mailbox settings and rules. These timings can indicate potential slowdowns for Exchange and the mailbox.
Hop-by-Hop Message Queuing Timings
When possible the Email Graph sensor analyzes the auto-responder reply to gather hop-by-hop message queue timings. Some SPAM and mail providers do not provide timestamps and we are still working on our parsing to ensure we can support ALL of the different formats. For each sensor run, the slowest outbound hop and slowest inbound hop is provided as well as the message id.
Leverages OAuth to Eliminate Passwords
The Email Graph Sensor utilizes OAuth to eliminate the use of passwords and makes it possible to leverage accounts that have MFA. This is just like the OAuth that has been integrated into the Exchange Online (EWS) and other Email sensors.
