Office 365 SharePoint

Office 365 SharePoint empowers teamwork with dynamic and productive team sites for every project team, department, and division. Avanan adds security, privacy, and compliance to Office 365 SharePoint by scanning files shared in SharePoint for malicious content and data loss prevention (DLP) and generates actionable events on malicious content.

Note:

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

How it works

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

  • Data Leak Prevention (DLP): Protecting uploaded files containing sensitive data

  • Anti-Malware: Scanning of files for malicious content

  • Remediation: Quarantine 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.
