Office 365 OneDrive

Office 365 OneDrive is a cloud storage system that allows sharing files and collaboration. Avanan adds security, privacy, and compliance to Office 365 OneDrive by scanning files shared in OneDrive for malicious content and data loss prevention (DLP) and generates actionable events on malicious content.

Note:

Avanan scans only the organization's Office 365 OneDrive and does not scan files and folders outside the organization, even if user has access to them.

How it works

Avanan adds a layer of security that provides these security features for Office 365 OneDrive:

  • Data Leak Prevention (DLP): Protects sensitive text messages and files

  • Anti-Malware: Scans of files for malicious content

  • Remediation: Quarantines malicious files and send files containing sensitive data to the vault

Avanan scans files in the following scenarios:

  • A new file is created

  • A file is uploaded

  • A file is modified (edited)

  • A file or directory is shared with new members

Note:

Avanan starts scanning files from the time of installation. Files that existed prior to installation are not scanned retroactively.
