The latest release introduces 213 CIS Benchmark-aligned Microsoft Office security settings, bringing the Senteon platform to more than 3,000 automated security configurations designed to help organizations reduce attack surface, eliminate configuration drift, and simplify compliance. Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint, represent a significant attack surface frequently exploited by cybercriminals.

Supports Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint across the enterprise.
Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint are among the most widely used productivity tools in the enterprise. They also represent a significant attack surface, as cybercriminals frequently exploit application settings, macros, and user behavior to gain access to sensitive systems and data. While organizations often focus on securing operating systems and browsers, productivity applications have historically received far less attention.
With the introduction of Productivity Hardening, Senteon enables organizations to automatically secure Microsoft Office using industry-recognized CIS Benchmarks while continuously monitoring for unauthorized configuration changes. The platform helps IT and security teams maintain secure, standardized Office configurations without relying on manual Group Policy management, scripts, or ongoing administrative effort. Unlike traditional approaches that deploy security policies once and assume they remain in place, Senteon continuously validates endpoint configurations and automatically restores approved settings whenever drift occurs.
Henry Zhang, CEO of Senteon, stated: "Every endpoint is more than just an operating system. Microsoft Office is where employees spend much of their day and where attackers frequently attempt to gain a foothold. By extending our platform with Productivity Hardening, we're helping organizations protect one of the most heavily used application suites in the enterprise while making it easier to maintain secure configurations over time."
The Microsoft Office release enables organizations to automatically apply 213 CIS Benchmark-aligned Microsoft Office security settings, continuously monitor endpoints for unauthorized configuration changes, automatically remediate configuration drift, maintain consistent security baselines across users and devices, reduce administrative overhead through automation, and support security initiatives and compliance efforts with standardized configurations. Microsoft Office hardening is available immediately as part of Senteon's new Productivity Hardening module.
