Cloud-based work platforms, such as Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, are particularly vulnerable to threats from cybercriminals. IT security specialist ESET has improved its cloud office solution and now offers more protection.
The IT security manufacturer ESET has released a new version of ESET Cloud Office Security (ECOS). The enhanced security solution offers advanced security features for Microsoft 365 and now also includes comprehensive, multi-layered protection for Google Workspace. ESET Cloud Office Security comprehensively protects Exchange Online, OneDrive, Microsoft Teams and SharePoint Online as well as Google Drive and Gmail from threats from the Internet. All users who already use ECOS will receive support for Google Workspace automatically and free of charge.
Increased risk for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365
Companies that rely on cloud-based platforms need increased protection against a variety of security risks. Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace in particular are exposed to potential threats such as phishing attacks, malware, and zero day threats. In the past seven months alone, ECOS detected more than 365 email threats, blocked 750.000 phishing emails and identified 360.000 million spam messages in Microsoft 21 customer accounts. Google Workspace is also clearly in the sights of cyber criminals - which is why its integration with ESET Cloud Office Security represents a significant development. Google Workspace offers a suite of productivity tools and communication applications that are indispensable in today's working world.
“Google Workspace is used by many companies for collaboration and communication. Without a doubt, Google’s offering is extremely interesting for cybercriminals,” explains Peter Neumeier, Director of Channel Sales at ESET Germany. “The ESET Cloud Office Security version update provides a critical shield that complements the built-in security features of Google Workspace.”
