Product description
Protect emails with Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP), a comprehensive cloud-based email filtering service. With EOP, emails are filtered in the cloud before reaching your firewall, providing an additional layer of security against spam, malware, and other email threats.
Take advantage of Microsoft's advanced anti-spam and anti-malware engines, which effectively eliminate threats. These powerful engines continuously analyze incoming emails and block malicious content, keeping your email environment secure.
EOP also offers active content, connection, and policy filtering, allowing you to enforce company policies and comply with legal regulations. These filters help prevent unwanted or harmful emails, ensuring the integrity of your communication and guaranteeing compliance.
One major advantage of EOP is its easy implementation. It can be easily deployed through a simple MX record change, without the need for specific hardware or software. This makes it a cost-effective and efficient solution for organizations of any size.
Whether you have an on-premises Exchange Server or another (SMTP) mail server, EOP is available as a standalone subscription, enabling you to benefit from its powerful email filtering capabilities. Additionally, EOP is already included with Exchange Online Kiosk, Plan 1, Plan 2, and all other subscriptions with Exchange Online, providing comprehensive email security for a wide range of Microsoft products.
Furthermore, EOP is also included with the Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 Enterprise CAL and Enterprise CAL Suite in the Open Value and Open Value Subscription volume licensing programs, offering advanced security features for organizations with specific licensing needs.
EOP is offered as a user-based subscription, allowing you to add the necessary functionality to individual accounts within your organization. This user-centric subscription model ensures that email security is tailored to the unique needs of each user, providing comprehensive protection for your entire organization.
