In Exchange Online Protection (EOP) organizations without Exchange Online mailboxes can use Exchange Mail Flow Rules (also known as transport rules) to look for specific conditions on messages that pass through your organization and take action on them. Mail Flow Rules take action on messages while they are in transit, not after the message is delivered to the mailbox. Mail flow rules contain a richer set of conditions, exceptions, and actions, which provides you with the flexibility to implement many types of messaging policies. Mail Flow Rules protects from Email Collection attacks due to the custom rules feature which allows you to define rules to encrypt email messages which provides an added layer of security to sensitive information sent over email.

In Microsoft 365 organizations with mailboxes in Exchange Online or standalone Exchange Online Protection (EOP) organizations without Exchange Online mailboxes, email messages are automatically protected against spam (junk email) by EOP. To help reduce junk email, EOP includes junk email protection that uses proprietary spam filtering (also known as content filtering) technologies to identify and separate junk email from legitimate email. EOP spam filtering learns from known spam and phishing threats and user feedback from our consumer platform. License requirements: M365 E3

Policies to configure anti-phishing protection settings are available in Microsoft 365 organizations with Exchange Online mailboxes, standalone Exchange Online Protection (EOP) organizations without Exchange Online mailboxes, and Microsoft Defender for Office 365 organizations. The features provided with Anti-phishing policies in Defender for Office 365 are: Automatically creating default policies, creating custom policies, common policy settings, spoof settings, first contact safety tips, impersonation settings, and advanced phishing thresholds. Microsoft 365's Anti-Phishing protection protects from Phishing attacks due to it's custom policy feature where users can create policies to determine if certain websites used for phishing are necessary for business operations and can block access if activity cannot be monitored well or if it poses a significant risk.

In Microsoft 365 organizations with mailboxes in Exchange Online or standalone Exchange Online Protection (EOP) organizations without Exchange Online mailboxes, email messages are automatically protected against malware by EOP. Some of the major categories of malware are: Viruses that infect other programs and data, and spread through your computer or network looking for programs to infect. Spyware that gathers your personal information, such as sign-in information and personal data, and sends it back to its author. Ransomware that encrypts your data and demands payment to decrypt it. Anti-malware software doesn't help you decrypt encrypted files, but it can detect the malware payload that's associated with the ransomware. EOP offers multi-layered malware protection that's designed to catch all known malware in Windows, Linux, and Mac that travels into or out of your organization. The following options help provide anti-malware protection: Layered defenses against malware: Multiple anti-malware scan engines help protect against both known and unknown threats. These engines include powerful heuristic detection to provide protection even during the early stages of a malware outbreak. This multi-engine approach has been shown to provide significantly more protection than using just one anti-malware engine. Real-time threat response: During some outbreaks, the anti-malware team might have enough information about a virus or other form of malware to write sophisticated policy rules that detect the threat, even before a definition is available from any of the scan engines used by the service. These rules are published to the global network every 2 hours to provide your organization with an extra layer of protection against attacks. Fast anti-malware definition deployment: The anti-malware team maintains close relationships with partners who develop anti-malware engines. As a result, the service can receive and integrate malware definitions and patches before they're publicly released. Our connection with these partners often allows us to develop our own remedies as well. The service checks for updated definitions for all anti-malware engines every hour.
