The benefits of Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection

One of the main benefits of using Office 365 Enterprise is the extra security benefits that you get. The typical number of Office 365 Enterprise users would start at around 30 and go into the hundreds or thousands. With that amount of users, data security will be of the upmost importance. Office 365 Enterprise comes with Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection. All for an extra monthly fee which will vary according to which of the 3 versions you subscribe to. 

Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) protects your business against malicious threats. These may come from email messages, links (URL’s) and collaboration tools.

With ATP you can setup 4 different threat protection policies. These will allow you to decide the appropriate level of protection for your organisation.

These policies are:

  • ATP Safe Attachments uses zero-day protection to check all incoming email attachments with the help of machine learning and analysis techniques. 
  • ATP Safe Links checks that all URL’s in emails and office files are not malicious and any found blocked are automatically.
  • ATP for SharePoint, OneDrive and Microsoft Teams allows users in your organisation to collaborate and share files. By finding and blocking malicious files collaboration has become a lot safer.
  • ATP anti-phishing protection uses machine learning and advanced impersonation detection algorithms help prevent phishing attacks.

ATP gives you the ability to:

View reports in real-time to monitor ATP performance in your organisation

Use leading edge tools that give you threat investigation and response capabilities to investigate, understand, simulate, and prevent threats.

Use automated investigation and response capabilities which saves time investigating and reducing the risks of threats.
