Control: 2.2 Ensure calendar details sharing with external users is disabled

Description

You should not allow your users to share the full details of their calendars with external users.

Attackers often spend time learning about your organization before launching an attack. Publicly available calendars can help attackers understand organizational relationships and determine when specific users may be more vulnerable to an attack, such as when they are traveling.

Remediation

1. Select Admin Center and Click to expand Settings.
2. Click Org settings.
3. Click Calendar.
4. Uncheck Let your users share their calendars with people outside of your organization who have Office 365 or Exchange.
5. Click Save.

1. Connect to Exchange Online using Connect-ExchangeOnline.
2. Run the following Exchange Online PowerShell command:
