What is Exchange Online Protection (EOP)?

Exchange online protection, or EOP, is Microsoft’s cloud-based email service that filters messages to detect spam, malware, and other malicious messages. Because the service is cloud-based, it does not require an installed software package on the user’s computer. EOP is a subscription based service that is part of the Exchange Online product group. It is activated by changing a customer’s mail exchanger record. It was formerly known as Forefront Online Protection for Exchange (or FOPE).
