Use mail protection reports to view data about malware, spam, and rule detections in Exchange Online

If you're an Exchange Online or Exchange Online Protection (EOP) admin, there's a good chance you'd like to monitor how much spam and malware is being detected, or how often your mail flow rules (also known as transport rules) are being matched. With the interactive mail protection reports in the Microsoft 365 security center, you can quickly get a visual report of summary data, and drill-down into details about individual messages, for as far back as 90 days.

Reports in the Microsoft Defender portal

In the Microsoft Defender portal (https://security.microsoft.com), go to Reports > Email & collaboration > Email & collaboration reports. and sign in using your work or school account. Or, to go directly to the Email & collaboration reports page, use https://security.microsoft.com/emailandcollabreport
