Off by default, valuable on

Microsoft's April update added several protections that ship disabled. Enabling them takes minutes and closes real gaps.

• Expanded Safe Links coverage for Teams
• Tighter external sharing defaults in SharePoint/OneDrive
• Improved token-protection signals
• Better admin alerting for risky sign-ins

Verify, then tune
