Frequently Asked Questions
What are productivity applications in this context?
Productivity applications refer to cloud-based software suites used for daily business operations, such as Microsoft 365 (including Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive) and Google Workspace (including Gmail, Drive, Docs, Chat).
How does this sensor differ from endpoint protection?
While endpoint protection secures the devices, this sensor focuses on the security events and user activities happening *within* the cloud-based productivity applications themselves, providing a different layer of visibility.
Does this require a separate MDR service?
This sensor is designed to enhance an existing or new Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service by providing it with critical data from your productivity apps. It is a component that feeds into an MDR solution.
