#EmeraldAshBorer Confirmed on #MountDesertIsland
Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry sent this bulletin at 04/01/2025 03:42 PM EDT
AUGUSTA, #Maine โ "Maine State Forester Patty Cormier today announced that the #MaineForestService (#MFS) Forest Health and Monitoring Division has confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (#EAB) on Mount Desert Island (#MDI) outside of the previously regulated area.
"A licensed professional arborist in Bar Harbor made the detection. The infested area shows signs of a well-established EAB population, with visible damage to ash trees from public roads.
"'This is an unfortunate but not entirely unexpected discovery,' said Cormier. 'Weโve known that EAB continues to spread throughout Maine, and we appreciate the vigilance of local arborists and community members. Public awareness is important to detecting and responding to this destructive forest pest.'
"As a result of this detection, the Maine Department of Agriculture Conservation and Forestry will expand the current EAB quarantine to include all towns on MDI. This non-contiguous quarantine may help slow the spread.
"Key guidance for landowners, municipalities, and the public includes:
- #AshTree material should remain on MDI. Logs, branches, or wood waste from removed trees should be disposed of on-site or at an island-based disposal facility.
- Ash chips are not regulated and may be legally transported off the island.
- High-value ash trees that are not heavily infested can be evaluated and may be preserved through systemic insecticide treatment by licensed pesticide applicators. These treatments require periodic reapplication.
- Infested ash trees will decline quickly and become structurally unstable. Property owners and managers are urged to evaluate ash trees near infrastructure for potential treatment or removal."The MFS and collaborators, including the Ash Protection Collaboration Across #Wabanakik's (#APCAW), Sustaining Ash Partners Network (#SAPNe), and #USDA Animal and Plant Inspection Service, continue to support ongoing mitigation efforts, including:
- Release of biological control organisms from federal partners by MFS through community partnerships.
- Seed collection and protection for future restoration led by APCAW.
- Education and technical support by varied partners.
- Public tree management and replanting through state and federal funding opportunities."'Emerald ash borer is one of the most damaging forest pests we face,' added Cormier. 'By working togetherโwith awareness, early detection, and coordinated responseโwe can slow its spread and protect Maineโs forest resources.'"

The Microsoft Defender Experts for XDR service provides value to customers from both a proactive and reactive perspective.
While the basics of security hygiene, such as patching, inventory, security baselining, and least privilege delegations are undeniably important, once those bases are covered there are many more specific controls that receive less attention but can be critical in mitigating the frequency and impact of future incidents.
Top Configuration Recommendations:
Defender for Office 365
โก Restrict user ability to release emails from quarantine
Defender for Endpoint
โกEnable tamper protection
โกEnable network protection in block mode
โกBlock untrusted and unsigned processes that run from USB
โกBlock JavaScript or VBScript from launching downloaded executable content
โกBlock executable content from email client and webmail
Entra ID
โกEnsure multifactor authentication (MFA) is enabled for all users in administrative roles in Entra ID
โกRequire MFA for self-service password reset (SSPR)
Defender for Identity
โกSet a honeytoken account

Microsoft Defender Experts for XDR is a managed extended detection and response service that augments security operations centers (SOCs) for customers who use Microsoft 365 Defender services:
โถ๏ธMicrosoft Defender for Endpoint
โถ๏ธMicrosoft Defender for Office 365
โถ๏ธMicrosoft Defender for Identity
โถ๏ธMicrosoft Defender for Cloud Apps
โถ๏ธMicrosoft Entra AD
Through a combination of automation and human expertise, it triages Microsoft 365 Defender incidents, prioritizes them on your behalf, filters out the noise, carries out detailed investigations, and provides actionable response to your SOC.
In this blogpost, we share how you can get incident updates from the investigation and response work Defender Experts do โ right into the SOC tools you already use.

The deployment and implementation of the Microsoft 365 Defender platform will need careful planning with the SOC team to optimize the day-to-day operations and lifecycle management of the Microsoft 365 Defender service itself.
This content explores several concepts on how to operationalize and integrate Microsoft 365 Defender with either new or existing people, processes, and technologies that form the basis for modern security operations.
Use these steps to integrate Microsoft 365 Defender into your SOC.
1๏ธโฃPlan for Microsoft 365 Defender operations readiness
2๏ธโฃPerform a SOC integration readiness assessment using the Zero Trust Framework
3๏ธโฃPlan for Microsoft 365 Defender integration with your SOC catalog of services
4๏ธโฃDefine Microsoft 365 Defender roles, responsibilities, and oversight
5๏ธโฃDevelop and test use cases
6๏ธโฃIdentify SOC maintenance tasks
