File Isolation: Office-365 Based
Office 365 Online is a cloud-based suite of productivity tools from Microsoft, including familiar applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, accessible via the internet. Macros, which are code embedded in Office documents, cannot execute in this environment. Viewing office documents in this environment ensures that employees protect their device from risky macro-enabled documents. To save resources, SquareX can aptly detect Office documents that have macros present so as to provide the users with the option to isolate the document with Office 365 Online.
