Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection is Microsoft preventative security technology. It arrived on the cloud productivity suite in April. The company is now expanding it to more services within Office 365. The solution is design to stop zero-day exploits before they can corrupt a machine. It is currently available in Office 365 Enterprise E5 and Office 365 Education A5, and it can also be used on Exchange and Office 365 subscription plans. Enabling Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection gives organizations the ability to protect against malicious content. It brings analytic information to organizations, allowing them to see insights and trends on security across a company. This includes malware and spam that comes into the organizations. “Examples of file activity signals include anonymous, company-wide or explicit sharing, or activity from guest users,” Microsoft says. “Threat feeds that Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection leverages include known malware in email or SharePoint, Windows Defender/Defender ATP detections, suspicious or risky logins or other indicators of irregular file activity within your tenant.”
