Enhanced Microsoft Outlook Monitoring improves GoGuardian Beacon’s ability to analyze emails sent through Outlook accounts, producing more accurate alerts with fewer false positives. When enabled, Beacon can analyze emails sent from managed Outlook accounts regardless of the device used to send them — including personal devices.
Enhanced Microsoft Outlook Monitoring requires Beacon Core or Beacon 24/7 licensing.
