Automated, encrypted backup of every mailbox in Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and on-premise email — with point-in-time recovery, granular restore, and a clean separation from the platform you're protecting.
Microsoft and Google operate excellent email platforms. They don't operate excellent email backups. Their retention rules are built around their own needs — service availability, legal e-discovery, compliance — not around your need to restore a mailbox you accidentally deleted three months ago, or recover from a ransomware actor who burned through OAuth tokens and emptied an executive's inbox.
EFAlifeline is purpose-built to fill that gap. It runs outside your email platform, on storage you control. It snapshots every mailbox on a schedule you set. When something goes wrong — a deletion, a corruption, a security incident, a compliance request — the restore is a few clicks, not a ticket queue with the platform vendor.
Backup health and ransomware alerts are delivered over Secure Conduit Technology, so you learn about a failed or tampered backup through the same protected channel as the rest of EFA Security.
Restore a mailbox, folder, or message to its exact state at any captured point in your retention window.
Pull back a single message or a whole mailbox. Restore in place, to a different mailbox, or export to PST / mbox.
Per-tenant encryption keys. TLS in transit. Your backups are unreadable to anyone without access to your tenant.
Set the cadence and forget. Multiple captures per day, including incremental snapshots that don't hammer your platform.
Out-of-platform storage means a ransomware actor with mailbox access can't poison your backups too. Bulk-restore from a known-clean snapshot.
Multi-tenant console for partners. Per-tenant reporting, alerting, and SLA-friendly restore times.
| Platform | What we back up | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online | Mail, calendars, contacts, tasks (per mailbox). Optional shared mailboxes and resource calendars. | Modern OAuth integration; no impersonation gymnastics. |
| Google Workspace | Gmail messages and labels, calendars, contacts. | Service-account-scoped; per-user delegation. |
| On-premise IMAP / Exchange / Zimbra | Mailboxes via IMAP or native APIs where available. | For older deployments; use the same restore tooling as cloud. |

Every product connects through Secure Conduit Technology — one hardened, monitored channel — so when one attacker is caught on any product anywhere in the community, the threat is neutralized locally and its tradecraft becomes intelligence that protects everyone else. Seen once, known everywhere.
A bad actor hits any EFA product line — EFAgateway, EFAcanary, OpenEFA, and the rest. The threat is stopped and sanitized right where it lands, before it can do harm.
The threat signal is extracted and every piece of customer-identifying information is removed. What's kept is the attacker's behavior — never who they targeted.
The anonymized intelligence is recorded and distributed across the EFA community over Secure Conduit Technology — the same hardened channel the products already trust.
Every other EFA deployment now recognizes that attacker on sight. A threat one customer sees becomes a threat the whole community is already defended against.
Your data stays yours. EFAintelligence shares what the threat was — never who was targeted. Customer identity, message content, and identifying metadata are stripped before anything ever leaves your environment. You contribute to the community's defense without exposing your business.
