BRATISLAVA – October 29, 2020: ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity, today launched ESET Cloud Office Security, a new standalone software as a service solution that provides advanced preventative protection for users of Microsoft 365 applications. Taking advantage of ESET’s best-in-class antimalware, antispam and antiphishing technologies, the new cloud-native offering is designed to significantly improve the protection of Microsoft 365, including Exchange Online and OneDrive.

Microsoft Office 365 is used by organizations 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 organizations (according to a Gartner survey*) using or intending to use Microsoft 365, it is crucial that businesses and their cloud tools are adequately protected. ESET Cloud Office Security provides an additional layer of protection for Microsoft 365 cloud email and storage by taking advantage of ESET’s award-winning engine to scan incoming and outgoing emails and attachments for spam, phishing and malware.

“Almost every business across the world relies on email for communication, and yet it is one of the main attack vectors cyber criminals exploit,” said Ján Brunovský, Product Manager at ESET. “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 email and cloud storage is the linchpin of cybersecurity for businesses and without a strong foundation of antimalware protection, organizations 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.”

ESET Cloud Office Security takes only five minutes to set up and initiate protection across the organization. Accessible from anywhere, the solution’s easy-to-use console allows for total control and visibility over threats, with immediate notification when the detection of malware occurs. The combination of spam filtering, antimalware scanning and antiphishing secures companies’ Exchange Online services, which in turn protects communications against malware, minimizes the adverse effects of unsolicited emails on everyday productivity and helps prevent incoming external emails from being used as a channel for targeted attacks. ESET Cloud Office Security antimalware protection also reacts to any file changes in OneDrive, helping to safeguard a company’s data and mitigating the risk of malware spreading to other devices.

ESET Cloud Office Security also offers multitenancy support for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to protect their clients from dangerous emails by integrating with ESET MSP Administrator. MSPs can add and manage an unlimited number of tenants from one console without the need for different login credentials, policies or separate detection views. Filtering by tenant is also available across the entire console.
