AntiMalware Default Policy: Common Attachment Filter Settings Updates
This update concerns changes being made to the common attachment filter settings for the Default policy in the Anti-malware policy. Starting from January 5, 2022, the default selection value of 'Quarantine the message' for any email containing matching file types will be changed to 'Reject the message with NDR' to allow faster response times from senders. This change will reduce the number of messages being quarantined, reducing the need for review and release by the SecOps team, and allowing the sender to take action. Customers who would rather quarantine the message will need to create a new policy with 'Quarantine the message' or change the selection after the update is rolled out. This update aligns the setting for this control in the Standard and Strict preset security policies to 'Reject the message with NDR' as well.
