Understanding Microsoft Forefront Online Protection for Exchange

Outsourcing your mail filtering is nothing new, however that doesn't mean it isn't a complex area which needs careful consideration and configuration. In this session we introduce the capabilities of Forefront Online Protection for Exchange (FOPE) before diving into a demo based walk through of its configuration. We cover standalone FOPE used to protect an on-premises deployment of a messaging platform and then cover the differences when using FOPE with Microsoft Office 365. Finally we get into the detail of routing topologies covering how mail flows in different scenarios from standalone, to Office 365 passing through Hybrid on the way.
