Exchange Online Protection (EOP) is a cloud-based email filtering service that protects your organization against spam, malware, phishing, and other email threats. Here are its key features:
Anti-Malware Protection: Using multiple anti-malware engines, EOP offers multilayered protection designed to catch all known malware. Messages transported through the service are scanned for malware (viruses and spyware). If malware is detected, the message is deleted.
Anti-Spam Protection: EOP uses proprietary anti-spam technology to help achieve high accuracy rates. It provides strong connection filtering and spam filtering on all inbound messages.
Customize Anti-Malware Policies: You can configure the default policy for company-wide settings. For greater granularity, you can also create custom anti-malware policies and apply them to specified users, groups, or domains in your organization.
Advanced Threat Detection: EOP offers robust email security features, including advanced threat detection capabilities.
Multiple Email Filters: EOP uses multiple email filters to scan the emails. These filters include Connection Filter, Anti-malware filter, Transport rules (mail flow rules), Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) / Microsoft Defender for Office 365, Anti-spam (Content Filtering), and Zero-hour auto purge (ZAP).
