In today’s threat landscape, protecting business data is non-negotiable. Cyberattacks, insider mistakes, and suspicious logins can compromise critical systems in seconds. Zoho One’s latest security update introduces six major features designed to block risks before they turn into damage. Let’s take a look at the protection now built into Zoho One.
1. BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)
Cloud platforms usually hold the encryption keys that protect your data. Zoho is changing that: with BYOK, businesses can encrypt their Zoho data using their own encryption keys—via AWS KMS, Google KMS, or manual upload.
This means:
- You hold the master key
- Zoho cannot decrypt your data without your permission
- Compliance becomes dramatically easier
2. Audit Logs
When something breaks or changes unexpectedly, the first question is always: Who did that?
Audit Logs give you a full overview across the entirety of Zoho One—logins, edits, configuration updates, and permission changes are now all timestamped and fully traceable. With this feature, you gain instant accountability and fast troubleshooting.
3. Anomaly Watch
Threats aren’t always loud or obvious. An unusual login location or multiple failed login attempts might be the first sign of a bigger issue.
Anomaly Watch analyzes normal activity patterns and flags anything unusual—login anomalies, location mismatches, strange device types, repeated failures, or MFA reset attempts.
It’s proactive detection built directly into your system.
4. Conditional Access
Think of Conditional Access as a security guard for your apps.
You can now set login rules based on:
- User roles
- Device types
- IP ranges or locations
- Time of access
- Risk level
If a login doesn’t meet the criteria, Zoho One blocks access or requires an additional security step like MFA.
5. Customizable Identity Providers
Every team works differently—Zoho One now supports that flexibility.
Admins can customize:
- Login methods (password, OTP, passwordless, social login, etc.)
- Group-based SSO instead of mandatory org-wide SSO
- Exceptions for certain users or teams
6. RADIUS Wi-Fi Authentication
Wi-Fi is often overlooked—but it’s a major point of vulnerability. Zoho One now supports RADIUS-based authentication, meaning only verified users with Zoho Directory credentials can connect to your corporate network. No more shared passwords, no unverified devices.
Our Take
Zoho One’s new security features give businesses tighter protection where it matters most: data control, user access, threat detection, and network security. With BYOK, real-time anomaly tracking, smarter access rules, and secure Wi-Fi authentication, organizations can operate with confidence—even as threats evolve
