What is the function of Anti-malware protection in Exchange?

The function of Anti-malware protection in Exchange is to scan and filter out malicious content in emails. This protection is crucial in preventing the delivery of harmful attachments or links that could compromise the security of users' systems or the integrity of the organization's data. By identifying and blocking these threats, the Anti-malware feature helps maintain a secure email environment, reducing the risk of malware infections that could arise from phishing attacks or unsafe file sharing.

The focus of this function is on maintaining the security of communication rather than ensuring the speed of email delivery, managing email addresses, or providing encryption. While those are important aspects of email management and security, they do not fall under the primary role of Anti-malware protection, which is specifically designed to safeguard users from malicious threats that can spread through email channels.
