Microsoft 365 use?

As of January 25, 2021, Office Microsoft 365 will transition from Proofpoint to using Cisco's Email Security (CES) solution.

...

  • This change only applies to Exchange / Office Microsoft 365 accounts.

  • Student email accounts will also be scanned by the new CES solution. 

  • SPAM email message management will change from the current "quarantine" approach to a "tag and deliver" method:  

    • Quarantine 

      • SPAM messages are sent to the recipient's personal quarantine, not their email account. 

      • There the user can review and release quarantined messages and manage their blocked/safe sender lists.

    • Tag and deliver ​​​​​​​

      • Identified and suspected SPAM messages will be delivered to the recipient’s Junk Email folder.
        Note: Recipients should now check their Junk Email folder when looking for missing or expected email messages. If a message is marked as SPAM in error, the recipient can move the message to their inbox.  ​​​​​​​

      • SPAM tags may be added to the email subject line depending on the nature of the email message, e.g., [SUSPICIOUS]. Visit  Cisco Email Security solution page to view a list of tags and their definitions, known impacts, and other considerations.
