VIPRE Integrated Email Security (IES) is a cutting-edge cloud email security solution designed to protect organizations from modern email threats and seamlessly enhance Microsoft 365 environments. Leveraging AI-driven threat detection and non-disruptive API integration, VIPRE IES provides comprehensive, real-time protection for both external and internal emails. This robust solution effectively combats sophisticated attacks like Business Email Compromise (BEC) and social engineering, ensuring your organization remains secure.

Once you have received the VIPRE IES welcome email (sent from noreply@threatsecure.com) and set your password, follow the steps below to configure. If you have purchased VIPRE Integrated Email Security and have not yet received this email, please reach out to your Account Executive or Onboarding Manager.

Step 1: Configure an Email Source

VIPRE Integrated Email Security integrates with your organization's Microsoft 365 tenant to provide total protection by catching anything that might get through. The first step is to configure an email source within VIPRE Integrated Email Security.

Important

While VIPRE IES does work with IMAP sources, IMAP configuration is intended for testing purposes only and is not recommended for use in VIPRE IES otherwise. 

This product works best when integrated with your organization's Microsoft 365 tenent account and the instructions below are for a Microsoft 365 configuration. Compatibility with other email sources, like Google Workspace, are on the roadmap and coming soon! Watch the release notes space for updates.

Before getting started, you will need the administrator login credentials for your organization's Microsoft 365 tenant account.

Follow these steps from within the VIPRE IES web console:

1. Navigate to Settings > Email Configuration
2. On the Email Configuration screen, select Add M365 at the top
3. Name your Microsoft 365 source
   1. This name is used in various places throughout IES, including Message Logs
4. Select your Integration Mode
   1. Inline: All mail will be delivered to VIPRE IES via mail flow rules prior to arrival at the end user's Inbox
   2. Monitoring: A copy of all email will be delivered to VIPRE IES via journaling rules
5. Click Continue

You will then be prompted to sign in to your Microsoft 365 tenant account. You will be presented with a list of APIs that VIPRE is requesting permissions to.
