Spam and Malware Protection
Blocks spam and malware before delivery and quarantines suspicious messages.
"Filters and blocks malicious and unwanted emails, helping organisations protect users from phishing, spam and email-based threats."
Spam and Malware Protection — email scanning, filtering and quarantine
Email is a common delivery method for spam, phishing and malware. That creates user disruption, operational overhead for administrators and increased exposure for organisations that must meet regulatory obligations.
Spam and Malware Protection inspects mail at the gateway to block or quarantine suspicious items before delivery. It gives administrators quarantine controls and policy tuning so protection aligns with mailbox use and compliance requirements.
Where Spam and Malware Protection is used
Protecting Microsoft 365 mailboxes for SMEs with distributed or remote staff. The service filters inbound mail at the gateway, drops clear spam and places dubious items in quarantine for admin review.
Supporting small IT teams and MSPs where in-house security expertise is limited. Administrators use quarantine logs and release workflows to handle false positives and tune rules to local business patterns.
Suitable environments
Best suited to organisations using Microsoft 365 or Exchange, often SMEs with distributed workforces and limited security staff, and those working with MSPs or facing regulatory reporting obligations.
