Content search capability has been added to the Office 365 administration solution, O365 Manager Plus. The new capability notifies administrators when official emails contain personally identifiable information (PII), classified information, and malicious content that may jeopardize the compliance and security of the enterprise.

Despite the availability of newer forms of communication, over 205 billion emails are sent every day, and email remains the most common form of organizational communication in the digital world. This explains why emails are the most targeted entity by intruders. With more than 135 million active Office 365 users, and a growing number of organizations adopting Office 365 for business communication, the need to fortify Office 365 has never been more important.

"With more email moving through Office 365, and our dependency on connectivity swelling, it is high time to focus on our defense strategies against cyber attacks," said Parthiban Paramasivam, product manager at ManageEngine.

"That's why we have equipped O365 Manager Plus with the advanced mailbox content search feature to help you secure your email setup while ensuring compliance to HIPAA, GDPR, and other government and industry mandates."

O365 Manager Plus can analyze internet message headers, which provide technical details on the actual sender's email address, the platform used to compose the email, and the servers it has passed through. This allows IT admins to identify phishing emails sent by an attacker masquerading as a legitimate person.

Mail attachments are one of the most common ways to deliver malware to end user systems. O365 Manager Plus can identify all emails with attachments and notify IT admins when such emails are sent or received.

O365 Manager Plus is available at https://www.manageengine.com/office365-management-reporting/download.html. Pricing starts at $US345 for 100 users or mailboxes, and $US95 per technician. A fully functional, 30-day trial version is also available.
