How Secfense Secures Outlook Web App (OWA)
OWA, or Outlook Web App, is a web interface to Microsoft Exchange email services, available both in local environments (on-premise) and in the cloud (e.g. as part of Microsoft 365). Provides access to email, calendars and contacts via a web browser, regardless of the user’s location.
Secfense uses its core technology, User Access Security Broker (UASB), to protect access to OWA without the need to modify application code. UASB allows you to add additional multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods, including modern solutions based on the FIDO standard that are resistant to phishing.
Thanks to UASB, Secfense provides full protection of the OWA website, hiding it from unauthorized users and machines (bots). Even if a site is publicly accessible, FSP makes it “invisible” to potential threats.
Secfense allows you to introduce an additional layer of authentication at key points in the application. This means that the user may be asked to re-authenticate when trying to access certain resources or perform certain actions, significantly increasing the level of security.
Secfense offers a mobile app that turns your smartphone into a FIDO2-compliant authentication device, enabling strong authentication without the need for passwords. This allows OWA users to enjoy convenient and secure access, eliminating the risks associated with phishing and credential theft.
The security solutions introduced by Secfense for OWA provide organizations with advanced protection against cyber threats, while enabling easy and secure management of access to key company resources.
By using modern authentication methods and unique features such as Full Site Protection and microauthorizations, Secfense helps secure data and streamline work processes in the digital environment.
