These Systems have well designed Rules for preventing Malware and unwanted Mails. But customers forget, that with Exchange Online by default comes two MX Records to your Tenant, where someone potentially can bypass all these checks from the OnPrem Mailgateway and deliver Mails directly to Exchange Online Protection (EOP).
