Preventive protection against malware
“With ESET Cloud Office Security, companies will secure distributed work structures in a comprehensive and resource-saving way. The use of an IT security solution is essential, especially when using cloud-based co-working tools such as Microsoft 365, SharePoint and Teams. This is the only way to avoid potential risks for the IT infrastructure and to really guarantee the security of company data, ”says Michael Schröder, Security Business Strategy Manager at ESET Deutschland GmbH.
More security for Microsoft Teams and SharePoint
Thanks to the new functions, ESET completely secures communication, collaboration and data processing in Microsoft 365. The tools teams most used in everyday life and their file storage locations SharePoint / OneDrive now have comprehensive protection against all kinds of threats. This minimizes negative effects from unwanted messages to infected files and maintains productivity.
ESET Cloud Office Security virtually replaces the functionalities of file and mail server security solutions, which from now on are operated in a hybrid or holistic manner in the cloud. In the sense of "Multi Secured Endpoints", the product offers seamless integration with ESET Endpoint Security products and the ESET PROTECT management console. However, it can also be used completely independently of this if customers have chosen another solution to secure their endpoints.

The statistical information for protecting Exchange Online and OneDrive includes the number of emails, files, malware detected, phishing and spam scanned for the specified period.
