Enrich Microsoft 365
Delivering granular access controls, superior security, and an improved user/recipient experience to the most widely used email communication platform.
-
Seamless integration. Hooked into Microsoft Office 365 email via an Outlook Add-in (COM or Web), API and Integrated Cloud Email Gateway.
-
Smart data classification. Integrates directly into existing data classification tools, like Microsoft Purview Information Protection to automate encryption and access controls.
-
Account compromise protection. Since Egress Protect is a layer away from Microsoft 365, in cases of account compromise, emails are still protected.
-
Large file transfer. Bypasses mail client file size limitations to send files securely to the cloud. All files are compressed and encrypted with 256-bit AES encryption.
-
Do more for less. With Egress Protect, you don’t need an Office 365 E5 license to protect your data within email. By marrying Egress with an E1 or E3 license, you’re able to spend less and get more functionality.
Comprehensive security and compliance
-
Fully certified. Accredited with multiple leading certifications, including Commercial Product Assurance, FIPS 140-2, and ISO 27001/9001.
-
Strongest encryption standard. Secures mail content and attachments at rest and in-transit using 256-bit AES encryption.
-
Malware & content protection. For Large File Transfers and messages sent using the web portal (Egress Reader), documents are scanned upon upload for malicious activity to ensure compromised accounts are not able to send weaponized attachments.
-
Secure supply chain. Build automated rules to secure content with trusted organizations and your supply chain.
-
End-to-end encryption. Encrypts mail at the gateway and the desktop securing both internal and external content.
-
Multi-factor authentication. Egress uses MFA to strengthen security and prevent unauthorized account access.
-
Automatic or sender-initiated encryption. Ensures emails are always secured based on policy, and allows users to proactively secure mail.
-
Access restrictions. In addition to securing the message, it is possible to restrict access to sensitive content including edit, copy & paste, and downloading of local copies.
Reduce user friction
Protect makes it easy for all users, whether they are employees, customers, vendors or partners, to send and receive secure emails without compromising on productivity.
-
Flexible authentication. Recipients can use their Egress credentials, shared secret, one-click access, biometrics (fingerprint or face ID) or their Microsoft/Google IDs to access secure messages.
-
Machine learning. Egress Protect uses machine learning to assess a recipient’s profile (domain, location, and IT system information) to build a level of trust, enabling trusted recipients to seamlessly access sensitive content without the needing to log in.
-
User empowerment. Protect empowers the user to control their own data access, which helps remove administrative burden.
-
Policy override. Users can override policy controls to select the appropriate level of security.
-
Stay in control. Users can revoke and manage access to their secure email in real-time after send, and can place restrictions on the time and geolocation to provide extended control over sensitive data.
-
Granular message controls. Users can restrict the recipient’s ability to save, copy/paste, forward, or print emails and attachments.
-
Anywhere access. Secure emails can be sent, received, and managed from Outlook, OWA, or the mobile app for users on-the-go.
