One of the common misconceptions about the Advanced Threat Protection service is that it has similar benefits to products such as, Exchange Online Protection and Exchange Online Archiving, however, it does not. ATP is a more robust email filtering service that protects against specific types of advanced threats.
Adding Advanced Threat Protection service to your Office 365 subscription provides the following benefits:
Protects against unsafe attachments
With Safe Attachments, you can prevent malicious attachments from impacting your email environment, even if their signatures are not known. All suspicious content goes through a real-time behavioral malware analysis that uses machine learning techniques to evaluate the content for suspicious activity. The advantage is a malware free and cleaner inbox with better zero-day attack protection.
Protects your environment when users click malicious links
Exchange Online Protection provides protection against malicious links by scanning content. Advanced Threat Protection expands on this by protecting your environment when users click a link. While the content is being scanned, the URLs are rewritten to go through Office 365. If a link is unsafe, the user is warned not to visit the site or informed that the site has been blocked. Vorsite can track which users clicked a link and when they clicked it.
Get rich reporting and track links in messages
Get critical insights into who is being targeted in your organization and the category of attacks you are facing. Message trace allows Vorsite to investigate messages that have been blocked due to unknown viruses or malware, while URL trace capabilities allows Vorsite to track individual malicious links in the messages that have been clicked.
