What is a one sentence summary of your feature request?
OAUTH support for NEP
Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.
Enabling OAuth for NEP’s email settings will let us retire insecure app passwords—now flagged as “legacy authentication” and disallowed by our security policy—so we can once again leverage the Alerts functionality. Other Netwrix products already support OAuth, proving it’s both feasible and aligned with industry best practices. Adopting OAuth here would strengthen our security posture, simplify user access, and unlock the full power of NEP alerts.
How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?
Welcome and thank you for your feedback on Endpoint Protector!
Please allow us some time to check this request internally and get back to you with a response.
While OAuth is not currently supported in Endpoint Protector, we fully recognize its importance—both for security and compliance.
We’re actively exploring its implementation as part of our ongoing platform enhancements, with initial support tentatively targeted for the first part of 2026. Though we can’t commit to a fixed timeline yet, this direction is aligned with our broader product roadmap.
Appreciate your feedback—it’s been shared with the team and helps shape our priorities.
Please accept our apologies for the delayed update.
We’re happy to let you know that this item has been completed and is now available. For more details, please feel free to review the 2601.0.1.0 Release Notes, where you’ll find additional information about this enhancement.
We trust this improvement will positively impact your workflow.
This is not the same thing as Luke is asking for above. This update only lists Oath for SSO not for sending e-mail using modern auth/graph API. Netwrix Auditor can do this, when is it coming to Endpoint Protector?
You’re right and we apologize for the confusion: the 2601.0.1.0 update covers SSO (sign-in), not OAuth/Modern Auth for outbound alert emails. Endpoint Protector doesn’t support OAuth for sending email alerts today, and we don’t have committed Q2/Q3 plans for this implementation. However, we do plan to review and scope this enhancement in the second half of the year, and we’ll update this thread as soon as we have clearer milestones.
To help us prioritize and design the right approach, it would be very useful if you could share:
In the meantime, if alerts are blocked due to legacy authentication being disabled, Support can help discuss interim options that fit your environment (for example, routing via an approved relay/service that aligns with your security policy).
