SANTA CLARA, CA — (Marketwired) — 05/11/16 — , a leading Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), today announced that Palerra LORIC now supports additional components of the Microsoft Office 365 Platform, including SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and Azure Active Directory, in addition to Exchange Online. The Palerra LORIC platform provides comprehensive security monitoring and protection for Office 365 across both end-user and administrator activity, behavior, configurations, and transactions, without impacting the end user experience whether Office 365 applications are accessed from within the corporate network, roaming off the network, or on either managed or unmanaged devices.
In addition to securing individual components of Office 365, Palerra LORIC provides overarching benefits to the organization, including correlation of activity events across the Microsoft platform and user behavior analytics to help detect and predict data leakage risks due to malicious insiders and outsiders. With Palerra LORIC, the IT security team also has the ability to identify shadow IT usage of unapproved services, in place of corporate standards like SharePoint or OneDrive. When an incident does arise, Palerra LORIC–s automation capabilities and built-in Office 365 incident recommendation library help customers remediate faster by reducing dependency on expert skills, saving the Security Operations Center (SOC) time and money.
“As adoption of Office 365 has expanded from cloud-based email to collaboration, storage and access in the cloud, Palerra has expanded its coverage as well. We are the only CASB to provide configuration monitoring for Office 365 and are dedicated to providing IT security teams complete protection and peace of mind by quickly identifying and addressing security issues across their entire cloud footprint, including all services and capabilities of Office 365,” said Adina Simu, VP of products for Palerra. “While Microsoft continues to invest in the security of their services, Palerra is also the only CASB that extends Microsoft–s rich native security capabilities, including digital rights management and DLP. This eliminates redundancies and ensures that the enterprise has one consistent company-wide policy framework.”
