Set Policies to Protect Office Documents in Mobile Devices
For enhanced security on Office documents (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx, or .pdf), you can implement Data Guardian's
Protected Office mode. Protected Office documents are uploaded to the cloud, not as .xen files, but with
their file extensions (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx, or .pdf). However, the Office documents are encrypted.
