Email Account Protection Security measures preventing your mailboxes from being hijacked or intercepted by third party malicious actors.

Malware Blocking Blocking of emails containing malicious attachments. This may include immediate deletion or quarantining of the emails in question.

Phishing Protection Scans and alerts to any phishing attempts of incoming emails from external sources, and blocks any attempts if there is click-through.

End-User Warnings in Email Client Software Service will place a banner in the email message warning of a possible hazard, if an email passes the software's security scrutiny but still looks suspicious.
