Advanced Threat Protection for Email

Email scanning and blocking of malicious attachments and URLs

Email carries attachments and links that deliver malware and credential theft attempts. Basic filtering can miss crafted phishing and weaponised files. Administrators need a layer that inspects content and prevents delivery to user mailboxes.

Advanced Threat Protection scans messages for malicious attachments and URLs and quarantines or blocks matches. It reduces the volume of threats reaching mailboxes and provides a place for administrators to review and tune detections.

Where Advanced Threat Protection is used

Placed in Microsoft 365 or Exchange Online mail flows to intercept suspicious attachments and URLs before delivery. Security or IT staff review quarantined messages, adjust detection sensitivity and block identified threat patterns to reduce user exposure.

Fits within these solutions
