Cons

Sometimes, a client's mailbox becomes full because of retained information and not because of mail. I would like to see improvement in block rules as well.""The reporting needs a little bit of improvement.""It doesn't protect against everything. We do need protection for, for example, endpoints.""I think the implementation could be more streamlined.""We have experienced issues while migrating from on-prem to the cloud.

    Overview

    Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) is a comprehensive email filtering and security service designed to protect organizations from spam, malware, and other email-based threats. It provides advanced threat protection, anti-malware and anti-spam filtering, and data loss prevention capabilities.

    With EOP, organizations can ensure the security and integrity of their email communications. It uses multiple layers of filtering and scanning to detect and block malicious content, including phishing attempts, viruses, and ransomware. EOP also leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence to continuously improve its threat detection capabilities.

    In addition to its robust security features, EOP offers advanced anti-spam filtering to reduce unwanted and unsolicited emails. It uses a combination of reputation-based filtering, content filtering, and sender authentication techniques to identify and block spam messages.

    EOP also includes data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities to prevent sensitive information from being leaked or shared inappropriately. It allows organizations to define policies to detect and prevent the transmission of sensitive data, such as credit card numbers or social security numbers, via email.

    Furthermore, EOP integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Exchange Online and other Office 365 services, providing a unified and integrated email security solution. It can be easily managed through the Exchange admin center, allowing administrators to configure and monitor security settings, review reports, and manage quarantined emails.

    Proven Content Filters

    To send an encrypted email, your employees simply create a message and hit ‘send'. Our content filters take care of the rest.

    Transparent Delivery

    When your employees receive an encrypted reply, the experience is just as easy. They simply open the encrypted email like regular email. No matter where they are or what device they use, if your customers and partners have email, they can easily receive encrypted email.

    Convenient Recipient Experience

    Our patented Best Method of Delivery ensures all messages are delivered in the most secure and easy manner possible, including transparent, pull and push methods. For pull delivery, secure web portals can be in the cloud or on-site. Also among our robust methods is secure PDF for statement delivery.

    Simplified Quarantined Messages

    If an email is quarantined, then employees, managers and IT receive notification to view the message and policy violations and can delete the email, or justify and release it for delivery.
