ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity, has launched ESET Cloud Office Security, a new standalone software-as-a-service solution that provides advanced preventative protection for users of Microsoft 365 applications. The software is designed to reflect the modern role of e-mails and collaboration tools used within organisations.
Microsoft Office 365 is used by organisations all over the globe, with the cloud becoming an integral part of many businesses’ data storage and systems, regardless of their size. With more than 84% of organisations (according to Gartner survey*) using or intending to use Microsoft 365, it is crucial that businesses and their cloud tools are adequately protected. Businesses that leverage ESET Cloud Office Security are protected against incidents caused by e-mail-based attacks or malware and can help employees stay focused on work tasks. (*Implementing Microsoft Office 365: Gartner Survey Results and Analysis, 2019, published 4 September 2019.)
E-mail is the foundation of modern business communication, yet it remains one of the most effective channels to distribute malware, the consequences of which can be disastrous, especially in combination with the infiltration of collaboration tools. ESET Cloud Office Security provides an additional layer of protection for Microsoft 365 cloud e-mail and storage, ensuring peace of mind for all team members with the automatic protection of new user mailboxes. The solution allows for total control and visibility over threats, with immediate notification when the detection of malware occurs and an easy-to-use Web console that allows IT administrators to take immediate action.
The combination of spam filtering, anti-malware scanning and anti-phishing secures companies’ Exchange Online services, which in turn protects communications against malware, minimises the adverse effects of unsolicited e-mails on everyday productivity and helps prevent incoming external e-mails from being used as a channel for targeted attacks. ESET Cloud Office Security anti-malware protection also reacts to any file changes in OneDrive, helping to safeguard your company’s data and mitigating the risk of malware spreading to other devices. Accessible from anywhere, the easy-to-use cloud console also gives an overview of quarantined items and immediately provides notifications when detections occur.
Ján Brunovský, product manager at ESET, commented: “Almost every business across the world relies on e-mails for communication, and yet it is one of the main attack vectors cybercriminals exploit. We are excited to launch ESET Cloud Office Security and to provide a solution that will protect countless businesses and their most valuable interactions and data. Securing e-mail and cloud storage is the linchpin of cybersecurity for businesses, and without a strong foundation of anti-malware protection, organisations are left wide open to attack. We are proud to provide a new, cutting-edge, easy-to-use solution for the broad spectrum of businesses that need to secure their cloud tools.”
