Secure Access for Microsoft 365: Introducing the Secure Edge + SaaS Alerts Integration

Microsoft 365 is mission-critical for most businesses, but it’s also one of the most targeted cloud services in the world. Cyberthreats like credential theft, phishing and unauthorized access attempts have made identity-based security more complex than ever. And while multifactor authentication (MFA) helps, it can now be bypassed easily with token theft.

We’re committed to helping our partners secure user access without adding complexity or administrative burden. That’s why we’ve introduced SafeCheck for Secure Edge and SaaS Alerts. This integration gives IT teams tighter control over Microsoft 365 access with less manual work.

This powerful integration helps reduce your attack surface by automating the enforcement of Microsoft Conditional Access Policies based on both user identity and network location, so only the right people, on the right network, can access Microsoft 365.

The problem: Identity security is increasingly vulnerable

Modern attackers don’t need to break in. They log in. And unfortunately, even strong credentials and MFA can’t always stop them.

Today’s attack methods include:

• Token theft that bypasses MFA
• Phishing kits with real-time proxying
• MFA fatigue attacks and social engineering
• Login attempts from untrusted networks or devices

Microsoft Conditional Access can help mitigate these threats by restricting logins to trusted users and IP addresses. But configuring these policies manually, especially across multiple tenants, is time-consuming, error-prone and hard to scale.

One missed IP or outdated user list can cause policy failure or leave an environment dangerously exposed.

The solution: Network-aware conditional access made easy

SafeCheck for Secure Edge and SaaS Alerts automates this process, ensuring Microsoft 365 access is limited to trusted users coming from your Secure Edge Gateway(s).

Here’s how it works:

• Secure Edge shares your organization’s cloud gateway static IP address and the list of users subscribed to that gateway with SaaS Alerts Fortify.
• SaaS Alerts makes it easy for admins to apply Microsoft 365 Conditional Access Policies that restrict logins to those exact users and IPs.
• Access is blocked for anyone outside that scope, even if they have valid credentials, eliminating the need to manually update IP allowlists or maintain external policy documentation.

It’s a smarter, cleaner way to protect access to sensitive cloud environments.

Integration highlights: Stronger access control, less manual work

• Access control, automated: No more juggling spreadsheets or updating IP lists. The integration shares the right data automatically.
• Block attackers, even with credentials: Stop unauthorized access by enforcing gateway-based access control even if MFA is bypassed.
• No endpoint disruption: End users connect as usual, no device configuration needed.
• Fewer errors, better compliance: Avoid policy misconfiguration and improve security alignment across Microsoft tenants.
• Simplified enforcement: Admins can configure and apply policies confidently, without needing to be Entra or PowerShell experts.

Why this matters

Secure access is one of the most critical and challenging parts of delivering modern IT services. Clients rely on their Microsoft 365 apps and data and trust their IT provider to keep access secure without slowing them down.

This integration empowers you to do exactly that.

By combining user-level awareness from Secure Edge with policy automation in SaaS Alerts, you can deliver smarter, more secure access to Microsoft 365, without piling on more tools or complexity.

That means:

• Better protection for client data
• Easier policy management for your team
• Differentiated services that reinforce your value

Secure access is not just about blocking threats, it’s about providing the right access to the right people, in the right way.

Security that works in the background

With Secure Edge and SaaS Alerts working together, Microsoft 365 access control becomes more intelligent and less intrusive. No disruptions, no friction, just built-in, always-on protection that helps secure your clients where they work.
