Microsoft 365 Email Interception

Remote users, contractors and cloud-first teams still need coverage without an agent. The connector intercepts mail straight from your Exchange Online tenant.

Why Microsoft 365 Needs a Cloud-Level View

Microsoft 365 mail moves with the organization — including to devices where a desktop agent isn't installed.

Endpoint agents give deep, protocol-level coverage of Outlook and Exchange wherever they're installed. But cloud-hosted Exchange Online accounts are also reached from devices outside that footprint, leaving a gap for organizations that want mail coverage regardless of the endpoint.

Anexet closes that gap with its Microsoft 365 connector: it connects directly to your Exchange Online tenant and intercepts mail with no agent deployed on any endpoint. It's a complementary path to endpoint-level MAPI capture on Outlook, not a replacement for it.

The same tenant connection can sync with Microsoft Entra ID, so user profiles from your cloud directory carry over automatically — see Active Directory Integration for how directory sync works across on-premises AD and Entra ID.

The risk, at a glance

  • Cloud-first mail, cloud-level gaps

    Exchange Online accounts are reachable from any device, including ones without an endpoint agent.

  • No agent, no rollout delay

    The connector covers a tenant's mail without waiting on a device-by-device agent deployment.

  • A companion, not a substitute

    The connector complements endpoint-level Outlook capture for organizations that want both layers.

Track, Intercept, Audit — in One Platform

Everything you need to bring Microsoft 365 mail under control, included as your plan grows.

  • Tracking

    See Microsoft 365 mail volume and usage per employee, feeding straight into employee-monitoring and productivity reports.

  • Interception

    Intercept and monitor Microsoft 365 mail through the connector, with no agent on any endpoint, searchable in the Client Console alongside endpoint-captured mail.

  • Audit

    Security policies check every intercepted message and raise an incident on a match — with the full email and attachments as evidence and alerts by email, Telegram, or Syslog.

What Anexet Captures via the Microsoft 365 Cloud Connector

The Microsoft 365 connector intercepts and monitors mail directly from Exchange Online, so an organization gets a searchable mail record with no agent deployed on any endpoint.

The connector is part of the Premium plan and is built for interception and audit: every message becomes part of a searchable record, and security policies flag risky mail as incidents for your security team to review. Where the connector's mail depth needs to line up with a specific Exchange Online setup, we walk through it during the demo.

How Microsoft 365 Control Works

From a Microsoft 365 mailbox to a controlled, searchable record.

The Microsoft 365 connector is configured against your Exchange Online tenant, with no agent installed on any endpoint.

1

Intercepted mail is sent to your on-premises Anexet server and indexed for full-text search alongside endpoint-captured mail.

2

Security policies check each intercepted message, raise an incident on a match, and alert the security team by email, Telegram, or Syslog.

3

Analysts search the combined mail record in the Client Console and export it as an audit-ready record for investigations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about how Anexet handles Microsoft 365.

Do I need a desktop agent for Microsoft 365 mail capture?

The Microsoft 365 connector connects directly to your Exchange Online tenant, so it intercepts and monitors mail with no agent deployed on any endpoint. It works alongside endpoint-level Outlook capture (via MAPI) on devices that do have the agent.

The Microsoft 365 connector is part of the Premium plan. Endpoint-level Outlook capture for Microsoft 365 accounts on managed Windows devices is available from Standard.

Anexet raises an incident linked to the full message and its attachments, applies the risk level set in the rule, and alerts the responsible officer by email, Telegram, or Syslog. The team reviews the incident in the Client Console, with the complete Microsoft 365 mail history one search away.

Never. Anexet is deployed on-premises: intercepted Microsoft 365 mail is stored inside your infrastructure, and the vendor has no access to your data.

Anexet doesn't run mobile agents. The Microsoft 365 connector works at the tenant level, so it covers mail reached from a phone as well as from a workstation, and on managed workstations the endpoint agent adds Outlook-level capture.

Yes. The same Microsoft 365 tenant connection integrates with Microsoft Entra ID, syncing user profiles automatically for cloud-based environments — see Active Directory Integration for the full directory-sync picture, including on-premises Active Directory.
