Zero Hour Autopurge Enabled for Malware.

Why This Matters

Zero Hour Autopurge (ZAP) for malware is a critical defense mechanism that automatically detects and removes malicious messages already delivered to user mailboxes. Without this protection, malware that evades initial filtering can persist in mailboxes, potentially infecting users, spreading laterally, and compromising sensitive data. Administering ZAP ensures your organization has a safety net against evolving threats.
