@nerowild But it totally "Optimizes" your "Delivery" du00d!!!!!! That's why it's called "Delivery Optimization", isn't it?? /s

Control measures
- Logging, monitor Delivery Optimization traffic
- Segmentation, block between sensitive zones
- Endpoint security, validate integrity via EDR (Trellix in your case)
Therefore, allowed only on a controlled internal network
- Prohibited via the Internet
- Must be governed (GPO, firewall, monitoring)

@nerowild That is pretty much what you end up doing to stop MSFT DO misbehaving behind 4G LTE or in other constrained environments. The slop factor of the MSFT platform continues to proliferate, even without the GenAI risks.

For at least the past 20 years, we've had to work full-time just to ensure security.....
It's not a walk in the park 🙂
