Microsoft this week announced that Safe Documents and Application Guard, two security capabilities introduced last fall, are now available to more of its Office 365 ProPlus customers.
At Ignite 2019, Microsoft announced Application Guard's integration with 365 ProPlus to deliver container-based isolation for Office applications, to completely block attackers' access to resources such as memory, local storage, applications, and corporate network endpoints.
Both Safe Documents and Application Guard connect to the Microsoft Security Center, so that admins can gain visibility and response capabilities through alerts, logs, confirmation of contained attacks, and the option to see and act on similar threats across the enterprise.
"With these new capabilities, we brought together some of the best of Windows 10, Office 365 ProPlus, and Microsoft Defender ATP to help organizations stay both secure and productive. This integration also means that organizations can deploy these features with the change of a setting and manage with existing tools," Microsoft says.
Microsoft is making Safe Documents and Application Guard available to customers with Microsoft 365 E5 and E5 Security plans.
