Spanning Cloud Apps, a Kaseya company and leading provider of backup and recovery for SaaS applications, today announced Spanning Dark Web Monitoring, a first-to-market Dark Web Monitoring solution for Microsoft Office 365. It’s the only tool of its kind to combine world-class backup and restore functionality for Office 365 with sophisticated Dark Web intelligence and search capabilities to identify, analyze and proactively monitor for an organization’s compromised or stolen employee data.
“In this new and challenging cybersecurity environment that we are all facing, Spanning Dark Web Monitoring fills a critical gap for businesses that use Office 365,” said Mike Sanders, general manager of Unitrends and Spanning. “No other solution like it exists. Spanning Dark Web Monitoring for Office 365 gives IT administrators something other tools don’t — an integrated Dark Web monitoring tool that provides insight into potentially compromised accounts so that companies can take action to safeguard themselves and their employees.”
Office 365 credentials are prime targets of malicious actors because they provide access to all of the Office 365 services, not just email. The credentials are the gatekeepers of every user’s entire Office 365 environment, which includes Microsoft Outlook, OneDrive, and SharePoint, collaboration services like Microsoft Teams and Planner, and business Intelligence-rich applications like Microsoft Power BI and Dynamics.
