Appendix L: Outlook Add-In

The Outlook Add-In enhances user security awareness and actionability by integrating protection features directly into the Outlook application. The add-in supports the following primary use cases:

  • Misdirected Email Prevention

    Identifies and alerts users to potential mistakes when sending emails, such as typos in recipient addresses, lookalike domains, or unauthorized external recipients. See Configuring Misdirected Email Prevention.

    Misdirected Email Prevention requires a DLP license (either the DLP add-on or the Complete Package).

  • Report Phishing

    Enables users to report suspicious emails directly from Outlook, contributing to faster threat detection and response. See Avanan Report Phishing Button.

  • Avanan Portal Access

    Allows authorized users to quickly access the Avanan Administrator Portal to manage quarantined emails and submit restore requests directly from their inbox. See Accessing the Avanan Portal from Outlook.
