Setup guide G DATA 365 | Mail Protection

This article is intended for people who are setting up our product G DATA 365 | Mail Protection for the first time and would like to get an overview of the required steps.

Follow these steps to ensure trouble-free operation:

  1. Register G DATA 365 | Mail Protection in the Microsoft Entra Center as an enterprise application.

  2. Grant G DATA 365 | Mail Protection the permissions required for full operation.
    These are required:

    • so that you can conveniently manage the Microsoft 365 quarantine together with the G DATA 365 | Mail Protection quarantine via our web interface.

    • so that emails in the mailboxes can be scanned again retroactively.

    • so that infected emails can be removed from the mailboxes and moved to quarantine.

  3. In G DATA Web Portal, add the Microsoft Exchange Online to be monitored.

  4. Finally, in your Microsoft Exchange Online create an Inbound-Connector, an Outbound-Connector, and a rule.

Be sure to follow our notes on setting up the Outbound-Connector and the rule at this point.

To ensure smooth retrieval of the portal information from our backend, it is necessary to allow outbound traffic from your network on TCP port 443.

If rendering issues occur when retrieving the information in G DATA Web Portal, please check your firewall settings.

Now G DATA 365 | Mail Protection is ready for operation.
