SafeNet Agent for Microsoft Outlook Web App
The Outlook Web App is Microsoft Exchange Server's web-based email client that allows users to access email messages, contacts, and calendars using web browsers without setting up a full email client.
SafeNet Agent for Microsoft Outlook Web App (OWA) delivers fully automated, highly secure authentication-as-a-service with flexible authenticator options tailored to the unique needs of different organizations. Strong authentication is easily achievable through the flexibility and scalability of SafeNet server automated workflows, vendor-agnostic authenticator integrations, and broad APIs. In addition, management capabilities and processes are fully automated and customizable, providing a seamless and enhanced user experience. It also enables a quick migration to a multi-tier, multi-tenant cloud environment, protecting everything from cloud-based and on-premises applications to networks, users, and devices.
SafeNet Agent for Microsoft OWA helps Microsoft enterprise customers ensure that web-based resources are accessible only by authorized users, whether working remotely or inside the firewall. The agent delivers a simplified and consistent user login experience and helps organizations comply with regulatory requirements. The use of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) instead of traditional static passwords to access OWA is a critical step for information security.
This document describes how to deploy 2FA with SafeNet Agent for Microsoft OWA.
