Microsoft has this week announced the availability of Application Guard (AG) for Office 365 helping you protect your documents and operating system from uninterested files from accessing trusted resources. Microsoft has now made available the Application Guard available in public preview for office 365 to help try and keep your enterprise safe from new and emerging attacks.
Microsoft Application Guard for Office 365
“Application Guard for Office is now available in public preview! Files from the internet and other potentially unsafe locations can contain viruses, worms, or other kinds of malware that can harm your users’ computer and data. To help protect your users, Office opens files from potentially unsafe locations in AG, a secure container that is isolated from the device through hardware-based virtualization. When Office opens files in Application Guard, users can securely read, edit, print, and save those files without having to re-open files outside the container. This feature will be off by default.”
