Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection: Preset security policies for EOP and Office 365 ATP Security

Although we empower security administrators to customize their security settings, there are two security levels in Exchange Online Protection and Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection that we recommend: Standard and Strict. Each customer’s environment and needs are different, but we believe that these levels of mail filtering configurations will help prevent unwanted mail from reaching your employees’ inbox in most situations. We will be automatically updating profiles for our smaller customers who want us to manage these settings for them, but for others, we want to enable the admins to easily configure these for their users. Recommended Profiles will allow admins to take these settings and apply them to a defined set of users on one place. To get more information on the recommended settings, visit our documentation today!
