Microsoft 365 Email Security

Boost email protection for Microsoft 365 by detecting and stopping evasive attacks                                                                                 that bypass legacy security solutions like on-premise SEGs.

Advanced Email Attacks Have Become More Sophisticated–If You Have Microsoft 365, Has Your Architecture Caught Up to Catch Them All?

Text

Secure Email Gateway (SEG) appliances tend to present an obstacle to cloud-first strategies by sitting “inline” as email passes through. By doing so, on-premise SEGs alone muddle Microsoft 365’s (M365) Exchange Online Protection’s native features, preventing optimal function and diverting the feedback loop from users directly to the SEG, leaving it unaware of user-reported phishing attempts.

In turn, many M365 customers eliminate the Secure Email Gateway (SEG) appliance and add Exchange Online Protection with Microsoft Defender for Office 365 to stop spam, malware, and more. However, this can still leave organizations vulnerable to sophisticated email attacks, such as business email compromise (BEC) and spear phishing attacks, that leverage impersonation, including:

How Do Organizations Mitigate These Threats?

Text

Ravisha Chugh, Product Marketing Lead at Fortra and former Senior Principal Analyst at Gartner, recommends employing “. . . email security solutions that include anti-phishing technology for targeted BEC protection that use AI to detect communication patterns and conversation-style anomalies. . .” It also promulgates “select products that can provide strong supply chain and AI-driven contact chain analysis for deeper inspection and can detect socially engineered, impersonated, or BEC attacks.”

In simpler terms, enterprise organizations need an extra layer of defense to augment Microsoft 365 for sophisticated threats that bypass SEGs or other legacy security defenses, such as this Office 365 lure:
